which the Company assessed the compliance with corporate governance principles enshrined in the Corporate Governance Code recommended by the Bank of

recommended to attend the same) so that shareholders will 
be  able  to  ask  them  questions  and  make  their  judgments 
about such candidates.  

3.  The  Board  of  Directors  considered 
the  use  of 
telecommunication  systems  to  provide  the  shareholders 
with remote access to their general meetings (for example, 
by broadcasting its proceedings via the company's website 
or by using video conferencing). 

P.1 is fully observed. 
P.2 and p.3 are partially observed. 
With  regard  to  paragraphs  2,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
P.2.7.  The  Regulation  on  the  procedure  for  convening  and 
holding  the  General  Meeting  of  Shareholders  of  the  Company 
provides for the right to attend the meeting of persons included 
in  the  list  of  candidates  for  election  to  the  management  and 
control bodies of the Company. 
In  practice,  at  the  annual  general  meeting  of  shareholders  in 
2017, there were individual members of the Board of Directors, 
including  the  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Directors,  individual 
members of the Audit Commission. 
In addition, invitations to participate in the Assembly were sent 
to all candidates for administrative and control bodies. 
Deviation from compliance with this recommendation is due to 
the  fact  that  the  Company  can  not  provide  the  mandatory 
attendance  at  each  shareholders'  meeting  of  all  candidates  for 
administration  and  control  without  exception  for  various 
reasons  (production,  organizational,  personal  circumstances  of 
each candidate). In practice, holding a meeting of shareholders 
of the Company, candidates to the Board of Directors who were 
not  previously  elected  to  the  Board  of  Directors  are  usually 
present at the shareholders' meetings, and shareholders have an 
actual opportunity to ask them questions. 

The Company intends to strive in the future to 
maximum  full  compliance  with  this  recommendation  of  the 
Code. 
  With  respect  to  paragraphs  3,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
The  Board  of  Directors,  while  taking  decisions  related  to  the 
preparation  and  conduct  of  general  meetings  of  shareholders, 
has not yet considered the issue of using telecommunications to 
provide shareholders 
remote  access  to  participate  in  general  meetings.  However, 
during  the  annual  general  meeting  of  shareholders  held  on 
26.07.2017,  the  Company  conducted  a  live  video  broadcast  of 
this meeting on a corporate website on the Internet. 

In  this  regard,  non-compliance  with  this  rule  has  a  formal 
procedural  nature  in  which  the  achievement  of  the  goal  to

which the norm is directed is achieved. 

When preparing the annual general  meeting of shareholders in 
2018, the Board of Directors of the Company will consider the 
issue of using telecommunications to provide remote access to 
shareholders for participation in the meeting.

2. If the dividend policy of the company utilizes indicators

With  regard  to  paragraph  1,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
During  the  year  2017,  the  Company  had  three  significant 
shareholders: 
- Russian Federation (controlling shareholder); 
- Gazprombank (Joint Stock Company) and VTB Bank (PJSC) 
are shareholders owning over 5% of the Company's shares.

parties  and  major  shareholders  (persons  entitled  to  control 
votes attached to voting shares) in cases when the law does 
not  formally  recognize  these  transactions  as  interested-
party transactions. 

At  the  same  time,  in  April  2017,  Gazprombank  reduced  its

With  regard  to  paragraphs  1,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
The number of independent members of the Board of Directors 
during the reporting period was less than 1/3 of the composition 
of  the  Board  of  Directors,  due  to  the  fact  that  the  Company 
does not influence the formation of the Board of Directors since 
Members of the Board of Directors are elected by shareholders 
at the General Meeting of Shareholders. 
However, 
the  Personnel  and  Remunerations  Committee 
(nominations)  considered  nominees  for  members  of  the  Board 
of  Directors  for  independence  and  this  information  was 
submitted to shareholders in the composition of the Meeting. 
At  the  end  of  the  reporting  period,  the  Company  had  4 
independent directors (2 of which were fully independent and 2 
were  recognized  as  independent  by  the  Board  of  Directors1), 
which  corresponds  to  the  requirements  of  the  Listing  Rules  of 
the  Moscow  Stock  Exchange  in  terms  of  the  number  of 
independent directors on the board of directors. 

1 The recognition of directors as independent meets the requirements set by the Moscow Stock Exchange Listing Rules, meets the requirements of the Company's Corporate Governance Code, 
but partially does not comply with the requirements of the Corporate Governance Code recommended by the Bank of Russia in terms of the rule that does not provide for the recognition of an

Internal  documents  of  the  Company  do  not  provide  for  a 
specific duty of a member of the Board of Directors not to vote 
on any issue in which he has a conflict of interest. 
However,  the  Code  of  Corporate  Ethics  of  the  Company 
provides  for  the  obligation  of  the  members  of  the  Board  of 
Directors to notify the Company through the Board of Directors 
about the existence of a conflict of interest. 
In practice, the members of the Board of Directors refrain from 
any actions that entail a conflict of interest. 
However, the conflict of interest is an extremely rare event. In 
2017 The members of the Board of Directors did not state that 
they had a conflict of interest. In 2016, one case of a conflict of 
interest was declared in which the corresponding member of the 
Board of Directors abstained from voting. 
The Board of Directors (the  date  of the Board of Directors on

P.1 and P.2 are partially observed. 
With  regard  to  paragraph  1,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
This right is not formalized in internal documents. 
The Regulations on the Procedure  for Convening and Holding 
Meetings  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Company  stipulate 
the  right  of  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  to  request 
any  information  and  documents  that  are  necessary  for  making 
decisions on the competence of the Board of Directors. There is 
also  a  time  limit  of  5  working  days  for  providing  such 
information to a member of the Board of Directors. 
The Company plans to include this provision in the Regulations 
on  the  Procedure  for  Convening  and  Holding  Meetings  of  the 
Board of Directors of the Company and submit this Regulation 
for approval by the AGM in 2018. 
Thus, after (and in the case of) approval at the  AGM in 2018. 
Regulations  on  the  procedure  for  convening  and  holding 
meetings  of  the  Board  of  Directors  in  a  new  edition,  this 
provision will be implemented. 

With  regard  to  paragraph  2,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
There is no formalized program of familiarization measures for 
newly  elected  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  in  the 
Company. 
Due  to  the  fact  that  the  list  of  candidates  to  the  Board  of 
Directors  for  the  annual  General  Meeting  of  Shareholders  in 
2017  fully  corresponded  to  the  composition  of  the  Board  of 
Directors operating in 2016-2017, the risks associated with the 
lack of a program of fact-finding activities were absent. 
At the same time, the Company organizes interaction between 
the management and the Board of Directors, whose level allows 
to  promptly  respond  and  provide  the  necessary  information  to 
newly elected members of the Board of Directors for quick and 
informative acquaintance with the Company's activities. 
The  procedure  for  the  inauguration  of  the  newly  elected 
members of the Board of Directors was reviewed and approved 
by the decision of the Board of Directors (Minutes No. 263 of 
December 28, 2017).

ensure  the  maximum  consideration  of  the  opinions  of  the

The introduction of this rule into the Charter can lead to the risk 
of  not  taking  individual  decisions  in  individual  situations,  for 
example, when considering issues with a minimum quorum of 7 
people and having at least one vote against. 
In  spite  of  the  fact  that  the  turnout  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
members is usually high, and the voting as a whole is close to 
unanimity, it is inexpedient to create legal prerequisites for the 
impossibility  of  the  Board  of  Directors  making  separate

such changes are, as a rule, irreversible.

Paragraphs 1-3 are partially observed. 
With regard to paragraphs 1-2, the  Company provides the

Internal  documents  of  the  Company  do  not  provide  for  the 
procedure for attracting an independent appraiser to determine 
the  value  of  property  alienated  or  purchased  under  a  major 
transaction  or  interested  party  transaction,  as  well  as  when 
purchasing and redeeming shares of the Company. 
However,  in  practice,  the  Company  attracts  independent 
appraisers  to  determine  the  value  of  alienating  shares  in 
subsidiaries. 
With  regard  to  paragraph  3,  the  Company  provides  the 
following explanations: 
In  relation  to  transactions  in  which  there  is  an  interest  from 
01.01.2017, amendments to the legislation have been made that 
completely  revise  the  approaches  to  approving  transactions  in

PERFORMANCE  VERSUS  PLANNED  AND  ESTIMATED  TARGETS  BASED  ON 
CONSOLIDATED BUSINESS PLAN OF THE RUSHYDRO GROUP  
The main element of economic planning in the RusHydro Group is the Business Plan, which is formed for

planning system was approved (Minutes No. 233 of 01.04.2016), in accordance with which the Consolidated 
Business Plan of RusHydro Group is formed in accordance with IFRS8. 
The Consolidated RusHydro Group Business Plan for 2017-2021, reviewed by the Board of Directors of the 
Company  (Minutes  No.  254  of  June  22,  2017),  was  formed  on  the  basis  of  the  Business  plans  of  the

The actual data of the report on the implementation of the LTDP for 2017 was formed on the basis of the 
audited  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of  the  RusHydro  Group  prepared  in  accordance  with  IFRS  for 
the year ended December 31, 2017 and as of that date. 
According to the consolidated financial statements of RusHydro Group under IFRS, the authorized capital of 
the Company as of December 31, 2017 is 426 289 million rubles.  

Revenues  
Analysis of data on the RusHydro Group in 2017 shows a decrease in actual revenues in relation to the plan 
by 14,862 million rubles (or -3.7%). 
In the structure of revenues of the RusHydro Group, the largest share is generated from the sale of electricity 
(capacity) - 74% of the total revenue. 
In the actual data flow, the main share of revenues from the sale of electricity (capacity) is provided by the 
RusHydro Group (PJSC RusHydro, sales companies and other generating companies), without taking into 
account  the revenues of  the RAO ES subgroups  of the East.  The Subgroup RAO ES of the East  provides 
revenues from the sale of heat energy (99% of the total revenue from the sale of heat), government subsidies 
(almost 100% of the total volume) and other revenues (74% of the total volume in fact and 61% according to 
plan).

The analysis of deviations of the actual indicators from the planned ones shows an increase relative to the 
revenue plan:  
- from the sale of thermal energy (including hot water) by 7.4%; 
- from receiving state subsidies by 103.3%. 
The overall decrease in revenues, relative to the planned level, was affected by a decrease in revenue from 
the sale of electricity (capacity) by 3.5% and other revenue by 47.8%. 
The decrease in revenues from the sale of electricity and capacity by the companies of the segment The sub-
group  of  RAO  ES  of  the  East  is  due  to  the  introduction  from  01.07.2017  of  the  mechanism  for  bringing 
tariffs to basic levels in the territory of the Far East (Federal Law No. 508-FL of December 28, 2016 "On 
Amending  the  Federal  Law"  On  electric  power  industry"),  which  leads  to  the  redistribution  of  revenues 
under the items" Sale of electricity (capacity) and Government subsidies, "namely, the reduction of revenues 
from electricity sales and the growth of government subsidy revenues. 
According to PJSC RusHydro, revenue from electricity and capacity sales is growing, due to the growth in 
electricity sales volumes on the day-ahead market due to the growth in output and net supply. 
A significant decrease in income under the item "Other revenue" relative to the planned volumes is observed 
in the segment "Other" and "Subgroup of RAO ES of the East". The deviation in the "Other" segment in the 
amount  of  13,720  million  rubles  was  due  to  the  sale  of  the  treasury  stake  in  PJSC  "RusHydro"  from  the 
balance of JSC "Hydroinvest" as part of the deal on the capitalization of PJSC "RusHydro" with a view to 
refinancing the external debt of the subsidiaries of RAO ES East ". 
Other revenues received by the RusHydro Group in 2017 in the amount of 690 million rubles are dividends 
received by PJSC RusHydro and other companies from PJSC Inter RAO and PJSC Rosseti.

Including revenues of the Holding subgroup “RAO ES 
of the East”, with share in total revenues 
66% 
The overall cost reduction for the plan was affected by the following costs: 
- Other expenses (balance) - decrease by 23,033 million rubles (or -84.1%); 
- expenses for the acquisition of other materials - a decrease of RUB 6,546 million (or -37.7%); 
- purchased energy (capacity) - a decrease of 4,125 million rubles (or -9.2%); 
- services of outside organizations - a decrease of 3 572 million rubles (or -12.3%); 
- depreciation of fixed assets and NMA - a decrease of 3,395 million rubles (or -11.9%); 
- purchase of fuel - an increase of 7,396 million rubles (or + 14.6%). 
The  decrease  in  expenses  under  the  item  "Other  expenses  (balances)"  is  provided  mainly  by  the  effect  of 
selling  the  treasury  stake  in  PJSC  "RusHydro"  from  the  balance  of  JSC  "Hydroinvest"  as  part  of  the 
transaction  for  the  capitalization  of  PJSC  "RusHydro"  in  order  to  refinance  the  external  debt  of  the 
subsidiaries of RAO ES of the East ". 
The  expenses  under  the  item  "Expenses  for  the  acquisition  of  other  materials"  are  influenced  by  the 
Subgroup of RAO ES of the East.  The deviation  based on the results of  2017 is  due to  differences in  the 
methods of reflecting the planned and actual costs for fuel and materials (intragroup costs are excluded from 
the revenues of Vostek JSC and the related fuel costs of operating companies). 
Reducing the cost of purchased electricity is observed in the segment "Subgroup of ESC RusHydro" (PJSC 
"Krasnoyarskenergosbyt", JSC "ESC RusHydro"). The increase in the cost of purchased electricity is due to 
the increase in purchase prices on the DAM. 

10 The fact for the item is the amount of expenses for items: "Other materials" in the amount of 10,170 million rubles and "Expenses for 
the purchase of oil products for resale" in the amount of 642 million rubles, in accordance with Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements of RusHydro Group prepared in accordance with with IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2017 and at that date. 
11 In  fact,  the  item  includes  expenses  for  items:  "Expenses  for  the  distribution  of  electricity"  in  the  amount  of  43,482  million  rubles, 
"Expenses for ensuring the functioning of the electricity and capacity market" in the amount of 3,639 million rubles, "Expenses for the 
acquisition and transportation of thermal energy" in the amount of 3 513 million rubles, in accordance with Note 25 to the Consolidated 
Financial Statements of RusHydro Group prepared in accordance with IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2017 and at that date. 
12 In fact, the item includes expenses for social expenditures in the amount of 1 098 million rubles, business trip expenses of 843 million 
rubles, loss on disposal of fixed assets in the amount of 1,006 million rubles and other expenses in the amount of 1,617 million rubles in 
accordance  with  Note  25  "Operating  expenses"  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  PJSC  "RusHydro"  prepared  in  accordance 
with IFRS for the year 2017 and as of this date, less the cost of contributions to APF in the amount of 201 million rubles, recorded in the 
article Salary, payments employees and taxes associated with salaries, contributions to APFs.

The decrease in expenses under the item "Services of third-party organizations" for the year 2017 is due to 
the effective conduct of procurement procedures, support of the asset life-cycle management system, and the 
implementation of measures to optimize the organizational structure and business processes. 
The decrease in expenses under the item "Depreciation of fixed assets and intangible assets" by 11.9% is due 
to  the  transfer  of  commissioning  of  facilities,  the  entries  of  which  were  planned  in  accordance  with  the 
investment program included in the business plan (mainly Nizhne-Bureyskaya HPP). Also, this factor has an 
effect  on  reducing  expenses  under  the  articles  Taxes  other  than  income  tax,  Third  Party  Services,  Water 
Consumption Expenditure and Expenses for Purchasing Other Materials. 
The increase in expenses under the item "Fuel Acquisition" by 14.6% is provided by the RAO ES Subgroup 
of the East due to the increase in electricity production (JSC "DGK"), heat supply from the collectors (JSC 
"DGK"),  the  increase  in  fuel  prices,  including  on  coal  in  connection  with  the  additional  generation  of 
electricity from the stations of JSC "DGK" (a change in the structure of the loading of equipment). 
The overall cost reduction was influenced by measures to optimize expenses and improve the efficiency of 
the RusHydro Group's activities conducted by management.

Managed semi-fixed costs, indexed by CPI 13 
The analysis of the profit and loss statement shows that the actual profit of the RusHydro Group is below the 
plan values, which is due to the fact that non-planned impairment losses of property, plant and equipment 
were  reflected  in  the  amount  of  RUB  24,000  million  (primarily  in  respect  of  Yakutskaya  GRES-2  and 
Yakutskenergo)  and  an  impairment  loss  of  receivables  of  RR  5,957  million  (as  a  result  of  an  analysis  of 
overdue accounts receivable and an estimation of the probability of its repayment). 
Also, the decrease in profit was influenced by the recognition of a financial expense as a result of a change 
in the fair value of a non-deliverable forward for shares. It should be noted that the approach to determining 
the  fair  value  of  the  forward  contract  is  to  predict  the  future  value  of  the  share  at  the  end  of  the  forward 
contract.  In  this  case,  the  calculation  is  made  using  the  mathematical  model  "Monte  Carlo",  taking  into 
account  the volatility of shares of PJSC "RusHydro" and current  market  quotes.  In this connection, in  the 
event  of  a  subsequent  increase  in  the  value  of  the  Company's  shares,  the  already  reflected  costs  will  be 
restored. 
In addition, it should be borne in mind that the implemented scheme for attracting financing is much more 
effective  than  credit  mechanisms.  The  forward  rate  is  tied  to  the  level  of  the  CBR's  key  rate  and  will  be 
reduced by dividends paid in favor of VTB Bank. The effective forward rate (excluding the cost of selling 
the stake in PJSC RusHydro) is 5.42%, and taking into account the sale of shares (with the current level of 

13 Managed conditional-permanent expenses are expenses for which the Group influences and has an internal mechanism for their 
management.  Do  not  take  into  account  the  costs  that  are  regulated  by  the  electricity  market,  the  legislation  of  the  Russian 
Federation and not subject to internal control mechanisms (costs for: purchased energy (capacity), infrastructure payments related 
to the sale of electricity, water use, taxes, depreciation, insurance).

market quotes remaining), the effective forward rate will be negative (-11%). This means that the aggregate 
payments on the instrument are less than the amount of funds raised (55 billion rubles). 
Long-term  borrowed  funds  as  of  December  31,  2017  amounted  to  90,912  million  rubles.  Short-term 
borrowed funds and short-term part of long-term borrowed funds amounted to 78,613 million rubles. 
Based on the Regulation on the dividend policy approved by the resolution of the Board of Directors of the 
Company  (Minutes  No.  195  of  March  28,  2014)  and  the  Resolution  of  the  Government  of  the  Russian 
Federation No. 944-r of May 18, 2017, following the results of 2016, the dividends paid by JSC "RusHydro" 
amounted  to  50%  the  result  of  RusHydro  Group,  determined  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements 
prepared in accordance with IFRS, or 19,876 million rubles. 
In 2017, the Company implemented the activities of the Cost Optimization Plan based on the results of an 
external independent audit of the costs of PJSC RusHydro, taking into account the subsidiaries approved by 
the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company, in 3 key areas with the greatest potential to reduce 
costs: 
1. Operating expenses: optimization of costs for maintenance of production personnel; optimization of unit 
costs  for  maintenance  and  repair;  optimization  of  unit  costs  for  fuel;  optimization  of  transport  costs; 
optimization  and  development  of  a  centralized  supply  system.  The  economic  effect  of  the  initiatives  was 
5,304 million rubles. 
2. Management model and operating costs: smooth increase of the manageability standards to the level of 
the best practices in the Company; standardization of the number of AUP in the Company's branches to the 
level of the best domestic practice; liquidation of representative offices of PJSC "DEK", JSC "DGK", JSC 
"DRSK", PJSC "Yakutskenergo" and JSC "Chukotenergo" in Moscow; transfer of some of the functions of 
the  administrative  and  managerial  staff  of  the  branches  to  the  level  of  PJSC  "DEK",  JSC  "DGK",  JSC 
"DRSK", optimization of the functions of branches and executive offices of PJSC "DEK", JSC "DGK", JSC 
"DRSK";  standardization  of  the  number  of  AUP  in  production  units  of  JSC  "RAO  ES  of  the  East"; 
integration  of  the  executive  units  of  PJSC  RusHydro  and  JSC  RAO  ES  of  the  East,  reduction  of 
management levels and improvement of manageability standards in JSC RAO ES of the East. The economic

Changes in the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. 

Bilateral  agreements  in  the  non-price  zone  of  the  Far  East  of  the  wholesale  electricity  and 

Bankruptcy of enterprises - consumers in the sphere of housing and communal services, resellers 

 
of thermal energy, managing organizations. 
As  for  thermal  and  electric  energy,  the  main  non-payers  belong  to  consumer  groups  for  which  there  are 
legislative or technical difficulties in applying measures to introduce restrictions on the consumption regime 
or to stop the supply of a resource. 
In  order  to  ensure  the  receipt  of  cash  in  the  account  of  current  payments  and  repayment  of  the  CC 
receivables  of  the  CC  in  the  territory  of  the  Far  Eastern  Federal  District,  all  measures  stipulated  by  the 
legislation in force are applied. 
On the most problem groups of consumers and individual companies, work is carried out at the level of the 
subjects of the Federation, heads of municipal entities with a view to jointly influencing debtors on payment 
of arrears. 
Activities to improve the efficiency of energy sales activities 
1. 
capacity market. 
As  part  of  the  implementation  of  measures  to  increase  the  revenues  of  JSC  "DGK"  in  2017,  bilateral 
contracts for the sale and purchase of electricity. The volume of electricity sales under bilateral agreements 
amounted to  1 034.8 million kWh. The sale price of electric energy under bilateral  contracts  amounted to 
2,062.7 rubles / MWh, which allowed receiving additional revenues of 748.8 million rubles. 
Under the  cost  optimization  program,  in  order to reduce the  cost  of purchased energy from the  wholesale 
market  by  marketing  companies,  in  2017  bilateral  agreements  were  concluded  between  PJSC  "DEK"  and 
JSC  "RusHydro".  The  volume  of  purchase  of  electric  energy  amounted  to  488.5  million  kWh  at  a  price 
equal to the doubled established tariff for HPPs, which allowed PJSC "DEK" to get an additional economic 
effect of 417.9 million rubles. 
2. 
As part of the improvement of the regulatory and legal framework of the Russian Federation in the energy 
sector  of  the  Far  Eastern  Federal  District,  the  task  of  preserving  the  penalty  coefficients  for  capacity  for 
suppliers of OREMs in non-price zones was solved. 
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1664 of December 27, 2017 amended the Rules of 
the wholesale market approved by Government Decree No. 1172 of 27.12.2010 providing for increasing the 
penalty coefficients for suppliers in the price zones of the Wholesale Electric Energy Market by the amount 
of  the  differentiation  coefficient,  which  is  a  function  of  the  accident  rate  and  the  load  of  generating 
equipment  in  past  periods.  For  suppliers  of  non-price  zones,  the  differentiation  coefficient  is  set  equal  to 
one, while the values of the penalty coefficients themselves are kept at the current level. Thus, in terms of 
power fines, the conditions for suppliers of non-price zones did not change. 
Decrease in the cost of the fuel component  
In 2017 the RAO ES Holding Company continued work on optimization of the fuel supply system, planned 
activities were carried out, including: 
1) Demonopolization of the fuel and energy resources market of the Far Eastern Federal District, expansion 
of competition and diversification of fuel supplies through the use of non-design coal brands. 
In 2017, in accordance with the program for organizing and conducting pilot combustion of non-projected 
coals, the experimental coal combustion of the grade "Zh" of the Fandyushkinskoye field produced by OOO 
"Behringpromugol" at the Chukotenergo branch of Chaunskaya CHPP was carried out. Based on the results 
of pilot  combustion, a technical  certificate has been drawn up, the results are assessed as  satisfactory  and 
confirm the practical possibility of using this coal when performing a number of technical conditions. 
2)  Conclusion  of  long-term  contracts  for  the  supply  of  coal  for  a  period  of  at  least  three  years,  including 
provisions  on  pricing  rules  for  each  subsequent  calendar  year,  including  market  conditions,  in  their 
conditions. 
In  2017,  based  on  the  results  of  open  competitive  procedures,  a  long-term  coal  supply  contract  was 
concluded  with  Gornyak-1  LLC  for  the  period  2018-2020  for  the  needs  of  the  power  plants  of  PJSC 
Sakhalinenergo  (Yuzhno-Sakhalinskaya  CHPP-1,  Sakhalinskaya  GRES,  Sakhalinskaya  GRES-  2).  The 
agreement fixes coal prices that do not exceed the indices-deflators established by the Ministry of Economic 
Development of the Russian Federation for the period under review. 
3) Unification of the terms of fuel supply contracts and application of special payment terms. 

89 

 
Due  to  the  inclusion  in  coal  supply  contracts  of  conditions  for  a  reduction  in  the  price  of  coal  products, 
depending on its quality characteristics (humidity, ash content, heat of combustion), savings in payment for 
current coal supplies for 2017 are estimated at 564.1 million rubles. 
4) Conclusion of framework agreements for the supply of fuel. 
For the purposes of purchasing fuel in the spot market, based on the lowest bid price of participants, in 2017 
framework agreements were concluded: for the supply of coal for the off-balance requirement of the stations 
of  JSC  "DGK"  -  20  contracts;  for  the  supply  of  petroleum  products  (diesel  fuel,  gasoline,  fuel  oil)  -  23 
contracts. 
5)  Carrying  out  joint  work  with  the  Ministry  of  Energy  of  Russia  to  create  a  mechanism  to  contain  the 
growth rates of purchase prices for coal for generating companies in the territory of the Far Eastern Federal 
District  is  not  higher  than  the  growth  of  the  domestic  energy  coal  price  index,  including  through  the 
introduction of tariff regulation for coal suppliers. 
The Ministry of Energy of Russia sent an appeal for the introduction of export duties on energy coals (out of 
reference  No.  5963.  NS  of  December  20,  2016  "On  the  initiative  to  introduce  export  duties  on  energy 
coals"). 
Following the results of 2017 a meeting was held under the leadership of Deputy Minister of Energy of the 
Russian  Federation  A.B.  Yanovsky  on  the  issue  of  a  sharp  rise  in  prices  for  coal  products  for  the  energy 
sector. Based on the results of this meeting, it was decided to hold joint consultations between the Ministry 
of Energy of Russia, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia and the FAS Russia to find a solution 
to this problem. 
Implementation of measures for import substitution 
Holding  RAO  ES  of  the  East  actively  cooperates  with  Russian  suppliers  and  manufacturers  of  equipment 
and  components  (PJSC  "Power  Machines",  CJSC  "Ural  Turbine  Plant",  CJSC  "Energomash-
Uralelectrotyazhmash",  LLC  "Prosoft-Systems",  LLC  "Unitel-Engineering"  LLC  "Togliatti  Transformer", 
CJSC "ChEAZ", LLC "MoselectroShield", CJSC "Group of Companies Electroshield", etc.). 
On the already implemented and ongoing projects of the Holding Company, such as: Vostochnaya CHPP, 
Blagoveschenskaya  CHPP  (2nd  stage),  Sakhalinskaya  GRES-2  (1st  stage),  Yakutsk  GRES-2  (1st  stage), 
TPP in Sovetskaya The harbor is mainly used equipment produced in the Russian Federation. 
Within  the  framework  of  production  activities,  during  technical  re-equipment  and  reconstruction  in  the 
Holding's energy companies, priority is given to procurement of equipment from domestic manufacturers.  
According  to  the  results  of  the  consolidated  analysis  of  the  Holding's  purchases47 for  2017,  the  value  of 
purchased domestic equipment is 85%48. The increase in the share of imported equipment by 5% compared 
to  2016  was  influenced  by  the  purchase  of  a  220  kV  switchgear  assembly  for  the  implementation  of  an 
investment project for the construction of a 220 kV OTTU "Orotukan-Palatka-Tsentralnaya"49. 
Reducing the level of depreciation of production assets 
Thermal networks: RAO ES of the East Holding operates 3,079 km of heat networks (hereinafter referred to 
as "TS"), while the wear of TC equipment remained at the same level in 2017 and is 49%.

Refinancing of loan debts of companies of RAO ES Of the East Holding 
In March 2017, as part of the fulfillment of the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation and 
the Government of the Russian Federation, measures were successfully implemented to refinance loan debts 
of  the  enterprises  of  RAO  ES  Holding  East.  The  mechanism  of  the  transaction  is  unique  for  the  Russian 
market in terms of its structure and the volume of the attracted capital. 
In accordance with the decisions of the Board of Directors of the Company (Minutes No. 244 of 23.11.2016, 
No.  246  of  27.12.2016,  No.  248  of  27.02.2017),  due  to  the  sale  of  40  billion  pcs.  In  favor  of  Bank  VTB 
(PJSC) of shares of the additional issue and 15 billion shares of treasury shares of PJSC RusHydro, equity 
financing in the amount of 55 billion rubles was raised. VTB Bank (PJSC) purchased 55 billion shares of the 
Company's shares, which is  12.9% of the authorized capital.  The state's share in  the charter capital  of the 
Company  following  the  deal  amounted  to  60.56%,  which  ensures  compliance  with  the  requirements  of 
Presidential Decree No. 362 of May 23, 2014. 
Also  between  PJSC RusHydro  and  Bank  VTB  (PJSC),  a  non-contracted  forward  contract  was  signed,  the 
final settlement of which is expected to take place at the end of a 5-year period. The forward rate is formed 
as a key rate of the Central Bank plus a margin of 1.5%. At the same time, forward payments are reduced by 
the amount of dividends paid to the Bank during the term of the forward contract. 
At the end of the forward contract one of the parties to the transaction pays to the other party the difference 
between the cost of selling the stake in RusHydro and the face value of the forward. At the same time, PJSC 
RusHydro has no obligation to VTB Bank (PJSC) to redeem its shares (put option). In case of not selling the 
block  of  shares  of  the  Company  during  the  term  of  the  forward  contract  (5  years),  the  obligations  of  the 
parties are determined based on an independent valuation of the shareholding. 
An important aspect of the transaction is the condition that the additional income received from the sale of 
RusHydro's shares at a price higher than the face value of the forward is fully RusHydro's income. 
From the point of view of the efficiency of the transaction for RusHydro, the proposed scheme for attracting 
financing in terms of the effective interest rate is more effective than the existing credit mechanisms. The 
current value of the forward rate (excluding the cost of selling a block of shares) due to its reduction for paid 
and planned dividends, as well as a result of a decrease in the Bank of Russia's key rate is 5.42%. 
For the organization of corporate governance and control over the further disposal of the Company's shares, 
a shareholder agreement was concluded between VTB Bank and Federal Property Management Agency.  
Renaissance  funds  in  the  amount  of  55  billion  rubles  attracted  from  VTB  Bank  were  fully  transferred  to 
operating companies of RAO ES East Holding in accordance with loan agreements and sent in March 2017 
to repay bank loans. The interest rate for intra-group loans is floating and equal to the forward rate, reduced 
by the amount of dividends in favor of VTB Bank for shares of the Company acquired in the framework of 
the transaction. There is also a grace period for interest payments during the first two years from the date of 
entering into intra-group loans. Savings  from  lowering the percentage load and the action of the  two-year 
grace  period  are  used  to  finance  repair  programs  and  measures  for  the  technical  re-equipment  and 
reconstruction of the core companies of RAO ES East Holding. 
In order to improve the management of Far Eastern assets of the RusHydro Group and ensure control over 
the targeted use of raised funds, measures were taken to consolidate 100% of RAO ES Of the East shares in 
the ownership of RusHydro Group and to integrate the executive units of PJSC RusHydro and JSC RAO ES 
Of the East . 05/02/2017, an agreement was concluded to fulfill the functions (execution of rights and duties) 
of the sole executive body of RAO ES of the East JSC by PJSC RusHydro.

The  calculated  actual  results  of  the  Group's  operations  for  2017  confirm  the  fulfillment  of  the  KPI  of  the 
DDA for 2017: all indicators are met, except for KPI "Return on investment of shareholders (TSR)". 

The TSR value in 2017 was -11.7%, while the value of the Moscow Stock Exchange index was -3.6%. The 
negative dynamics of the Company's shares is primarily due to a general decline in the market, which was 
exerted by geopolitical risks, as well as a decrease in interest in Russian companies by global investors. For 
most of the year, the dynamics of the Company's shares corresponded to the average market. At the end of 

100 

 
the year, the main factors in the reduction of the share price were: the decision of the Board of Directors of 
the Company on temporary conservation of the construction project of Zagorskaya PSHPP-2, confirmation 
of  information  on  the  additional  issue  of  the  company's  shares  for  financing  the  Pevek-Bilibino  power 
transmission line project and others. 

During the inspection, our attention was drawn to any facts that would give us reason to believe that these 
actual  performance  of  the  Group  for  the  year  2017  and  the  degree  of  achievement  of  the  target  values 
calculated  incorrect;  there  are  any  other  major  causes  of  deviations  of  actual  indicators  of  the  results  of 
operations of the planned LTDP; the intended use by the Group for 2017 respective budgets was carried out 
inefficiently.

Appendix  No  11.  Information  Concerning  Establishment  of  Unified 
Treasuries in the Head Companies, Subsidiaries and Affiliates 

As part of the implementation of the Directives of the Government of the Russian Federation of 08.08.2014 
No. 5110 p-P13, of March 26, 2015 № 1796p-P13, the Board of Directors of PJSC "RusHydro" (hereinafter 
-  the  Company)  made  a  decision  "On  the  establishment  of  a  single  Treasury  of  PJSC  RusHydro,  its 
subsidiaries  (Minutes  No.  203  dated  September  15,  2014)  and  issued  an  order  (Minutes  No.  215  dated 
05.05.2015) to  conduct an annual  analysis of the results of the creation of a single Treasury of  RusHydro 
Group. 
The Unified Treasury (hereinafter - UT) functions as a methodological and information center from June 30, 
2015, whose activities are aimed at regulating the work of the  UT, optimizing cash flows and centralizing 
the management of financial risks of RusHydro Group. 
The UT represents a vertically integrated three-tier system of treasury organization of RusHydro Group: 

 UT - at the top level of management, 
 Treasury of Subgroups - at the middle management level 
 Treasury subsidiaries - at the lower management level. 

On  an  annual  basis,  an  inventory  of  the  settlement  and  payment  system  of  the  RusHydro  Group  is 
conducted, following which a report on the annual analysis of the results of the creation of the RusHydro 
Group's  UT  is  sent  to  the  Ministry  of  Finance  of  the  Russian  Federation  and  the  Federal  Financial 
Monitoring Service. 
For the expired period in 2017, as part of the optimization of the RusHydro Group's management structure 
and operating expenses, the following was made in the reporting period: 

 Consolidation of treasuries of the RusHydro Subgroups and RAO ES of the East, caused by 
the  merger  of  the  executive  offices  of  PJSC  RusHydro  and  RAO  ES  Of  the  East  and  the 
transfer of functions of the sole executive body of RAO ES of the East to PJSC RusHydro; 
 Pilot implementation of the standard development of the Unified Accounting System of RAO 
ES of the East JSC in the framework of automation of treasury functions in subsidiaries; 
 Reducing the number of used settlement accounts and optimizing the terms of service (tariffs) 
under contracts with banks. 

During the reporting period, the UT also continued to work on the unification of approaches to centralizing 
risk management and optimizing the cash flows of RusHydro Group companies: 

 established  typical  business  processes  for  procedures  for  obtaining  /  providing  intra-group 
loans,  including  the  procedure  for  determining  the  cost  of  borrowing,  and  optimized  the 
structure and cost of servicing the portfolio of intra-group borrowings; 
 the requirements to the level of reliability and financial stability of partner banks have been 
raised based on the results of additional analysis of the selection of credit institutions operating 
in the RusHydro Group for the placement of funds and pursuant to the instruction of the Audit 
Committee under the Board of Directors of PJSC RusHydro (Minutes No. 98 dated May 31, 
2017 ). 

Based  on  the  results  of  the  measures  taken  and  in  order  to  ensure  financial  stability,  transparency  and 
efficiency of the activities of the RusHydro Group companies, a new Regulation on the single Treasury of 
RusHydro  Group  and  documents  regulating  its  activities  were  approved  (Minutes  No.  1078  of  the 
Company's Management Board of November 27, 2012).

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Public Joint Stock Company Federal       
Hydro-Generating Company – RusHydro: 

Our opinion  
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
PJSC RusHydro (the “Company”) as at 31 December 2017, and its financial performance and its cash 
flows for the year then ended in accordance with the reporting rules established in the Russian 
Federation. 

What we have audited 
The Company’s financial statements comprise: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the balance sheet as at 31 December 2017; 

the statement of financial results for the year then ended; 

the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; 

the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and 

the notes to the balance sheet and statement of financial results. 

Basis for opinion  
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the 
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion.  

Independence 
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for 
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical 
requirements of the Auditor’s Professional Ethics Code and Auditor’s Independence Rules that are 
relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Russian Federation. We have fulfilled our other 
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. 

Emphasis of matter 
We draw attention to Note 3.1.2 Long-term investments (balance sheet line 1170) to the balance sheet 
and statement of financial results which describes the reasons for non-revaluation of quoted financial 
investments in shares of AO RAO ES of East which previously had current market value, at their last 
available market value, PAO Yakutskenergo and PAO Far East Energy Company at their current 
market values. As of 31 December 2017 the amount of unrecognised decrease in the market value as 
compared to the carrying value of these investments is RUB 6,702 million, as of 31 December 2016 – 
RUB 6,614 million. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Our audit approach 

Overview 

Materiality 

•  Overall materiality: Russian Roubles (“RUB”) 2,390 million, which 

represents 5% of the average profit before tax for the last three years. 

Key audit matters 

• 

Impairment assessment of financial investments and accounts 
receivable from subsidiaries and other related parties 

We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in 
the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective 
judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making 
assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. We also addressed the risk of 
management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether 
there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an 
opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company, the 
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Company operates. 

Materiality 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of the concept of materiality. An audit is 
designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material 
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial statements. 

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, 
including the overall Company materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out in the table 
below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit 
and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements,

Overall materiality

How we determined it 

5% of the average profit before tax for the last three years 

Rationale for the 
materiality benchmark 
applied 

We chose profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our 
view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of 
the Company is most commonly measured by users, and is a 
generally accepted benchmark. We chose 5% which is 
consistent with quantitative materiality thresholds used for 
profit-oriented companies in this sector.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the Key audit 
matter 

Impairment assessment of financial 
investments and accounts receivable 
from subsidiaries and other related 
parties 

See paras 2.5, 2.8, 3.1.2, 3.2.2 и 3.2.3 of the 
explanatory notes to the balance sheet and 
income statement. 

At 31 December 2017, the Company’s aggregate 
carrying amount of investments was RUB 
324,599 million (net of the impairment 
provision of RUB 27,725 million), or 33% of 
the total value of Company’s assets.  
Investments primarily include investments of 
the Company in equity and debt securities of 
its subsidiaries and other related parties. 

At 31 December 2017, the carrying amount of 
accounts receivable from related parties was 
RUB 140,726 million  (net of the doubtful debt 
provision of RUB 4,123 million), or 14% of the 
total value of Company’s assets.   

As part of the annual reporting process the 
Company performs a comprehensive analysis 
of all investments that are not carried at their 
current market value and of accounts 
receivable from related parties (primarily in 
the form of interest-free loans and bills) as at 
the reporting date, to identify any indications 
of impairment and its amount. 

The Company decides on the need to recognise 
impairment of the above assets following the 
results of the comprehensive analysis of the 
current and expected financial position of the 
issuer taking into account impairment criteria 
established in PBU 19/02, and the assessment 
of the debtor’s solvency, individual specifics, 
payment dynamics and other factors. 

We focused on the impairment assessment of 
investments in and receivables from related 
parties due to significance of their carrying 
value and because the assessment process is 
complicated and requires significant 

Our audit procedures aimed at analysing the 
impairment testing by the management of 
Company’s investments in equity and debt 
securities of related parties and accounts 
receivable from related parties, included:   

•  understanding of how impairment estimates 

were calculated; 

•  review of the methodology used by 

Company's management for the impairment 
test purposes; 

•  review of reasonableness of accounting 

estimates made by the management and 
management’s position on whether there are 
indicators of assets’ potential impairment; 

•  review on a test basis of key assumptions and 
source data used in the impairment tests and 
their compliance with the approved budgets 
and business plans, external available and 
reliable information and our expert 
knowledge of industry specifics; 

•  review of the collectability analysis 

performed by management taking into 
account the solvency analysis of contractors 
as at the reporting date, any intention to 
allow payment by instalments and  other 
factors considered by management; 

•  review on a test basis of the calculation 

accuracy and appropriateness of 
presentation in the financial statements of 
impairment provisions for investments and 
doubtful debts;

Key audit matter 

management’s judgements, and impairment 
provisions for investments and doubtful debts 
can be significant. 

How our audit addressed the Key audit 
matter 

•  receipt and analysis of management’s written 

representations related to performed 
impairment testing of these assets. 

Following the results of our procedures, we 
believe that estimates and judgements made by 
management with regard to the impairment of 
investments and accounts receivable of related 
parties are relevant for the purposes of the 
attached financial statements. 

Acceptability of the current estimates made by 
the Company management for the purpose of 
the financial statements for the year ended 
31 December 2017 does not guarantee that 
future events that are inherently uncertain 
would not lead to a significant change in these 
estimates. 

In addition, we verified compliance of 
disclosures in paras 2.5, 2.8, 3.1.2, 3.2.2 и 3.2.3 
of the explanatory notes to the balance sheet and 
income statement, with the disclosure 
requirements as per PBU 1/2008, PBU 19/02. 

Our procedures have not identified any findings 
that evidence that there is a need for any 
significant adjustments to these financial 
statements. 

Other information 
Management is responsible for the other information. Other information includes PJSC RusHydro’s 
Annual Report for 2017 and Issuer’s Report of PJSC RusHydro for Q1 2018, but does not include the 
financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. PJSC RusHydro’s Annual Report for 2017 and 
Issuer’s Report of PJSC RusHydro for Q1 2018 are expected to be made available to us after the date of 
this auditor’s report. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express 
any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other 
information identified above, when it is made available to us, and, in doing so, consider whether the 
other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained 
in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the 
financial statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in 
accordance with the reporting rules established in the Russian Federation, and for such internal 
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability 
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using 
the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or 
to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting 
process. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole 
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report 
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee 
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it 
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on 
the basis of these financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit 
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not 
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, 
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override 
of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by management. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting 

and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events 
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going 
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 
auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to 
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to 
cease to continue as a going concern.

All possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is an accurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, 
views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation. 

v 

 
•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the 

disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events 
in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned 
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in 
internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant 
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and 
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, 
related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters 
that were of most significance in the audit of the accompanying financial statements and are therefore 
the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation 
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine 
that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so 
would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. 

The certified auditor responsible for the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report, is

1.2  The Company's operating environment 

The  Russian  economy  displays  certain  characteristics  of  an  emerging  market.  It  is  particularly 
sensitive  to  oil  and  gas  price  fluctuations.  The  legal,  tax  and  customs  frameworks  continue  to 
develop and are subject varying interpretation. 

The Russian economy was growing in 2017, after overcoming the economic recession of 2015 and 
2016. However, the economy is negatively impacted by low oil prices, ongoing political tension in 
the  region  and  international  sanctions  against  certain  Russian  companies  and  individuals.  The 
financial markets continue to be volatile.Such economic environment has considerable influence on 
Company’s operations and financial position. Future economic and regulatory situation, internal and 
external business environment are hard to forecast and may differ from Company management’s 
current expectations. 

Management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Company’s operations. 
However, the future impact of the current economic situation is difficult to predict, and the current 
expectations and assessments by management may differ from any actual results. 

Developing  capacity  and  power  wholesale  and  retail  markets  possess  higher  level  of  risks  than 
developed  markets  of  other  products  and  services.  The  Company’s  operations  are  exposed  to 
financial, legal, country, regional, reputation and other risks. 

The Company's risk management policy specifies the continuous efforts to identify risks, assess 
them  and  control  and  also  develop  and  implement  actions  for  addressing  the  risks,  business 
continuity management in accordance with international and national standards of risk management 
(COSO ERM 2004, ISO 31000, GOST R ISO 31000-2010, etc.), Code of corporate governance 
Central  Bank  of  RF,  methodological  recommendations  of  the  Federal  Property  Management 
Agency and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation in the field of risk management and 
internal control. 

Financial risks 

Financial risk includes market risk (currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risks), credit risk 
and liquidity risk. 

Information about the Company's exposure to financial risks, their reasons and risk management 
tools is presented in paragraph 3.15 of the Explanatory Notes. 

TRANSLATOR'S EXPLANATORY NOTE: This version of our report/the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in

of information, views or opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation.

PAO RusHydro 
Explanatory Notes to the 2017 Balance sheet and Statement of Financial Results  
(in millions of Russian Roubles unless otherwise stated) 

Legal risks 

The  reasons  for  legal  risks  are  associated  with  potential  changes  in  legal  and  regulatory  base 
including currency and customs regulations, tax legislation and others. 

Legal risks in domestic market related to regulation of electricity generation and its sale/purchase, 
which represent the Company's principal activities, can significantly impact the Company's position 
by decreasing its net profit. 

Legal risks in external market related to currency and customs regulation are insignificant due to 
insignificant volume of foreign trade transactions the Company participates in, which are managed 
through legal support and control of these transactions and liability insurance.  

The Company manages its industry risks by developing a Company-friendly legal framework for 
operations on the electricity and capacity market.  

To manage the industry risks the Company actively participates as expert in development of energy 
legislation  made  by  Ministry  of  Energy  of  Russian  Federation,  NP  “Market  council”  and  Federal 
Antimonopoly Service; monitors legislation and makes amendments in the regulatory base. 

Country and regional risks 

The reasons for country and regional risks are associated with political and economic situation, the 
geographic features of the country or the region where the entity operates and (or) is registered as 
a taxpayer. 

Exposure to the country risk can be indirectly assessed, subject to some assumptions, based on 
the credit rating (the business exposure to political risks is not taken into account). At the end of 
2017, Russia’s foreign currency obligations were rates as follows: ВВ+ (Standard & Poor’s), Ba1 
(Moody’s) и ВВВ- (Fitch). At the same time these three international agencies improved the outlook 
for  Russia’s  sovereign  rating  to:  stable  (Moody’s)  and  positive  (Standard  &  Poor’s  and  Fitch).  
According  to  analysts,  ‘external  risks’  to  Russia  have  decreased  and  the  Russian  economy 
continuous adjustment to lower feedstock prices. 

Also  in  2017  international  rating  agencies  raised  the  long-term  credit  rating  of  the  Company  as 
follows: Moody’s improved the rating to Ва1 with stable outlook, Standard & Poor’s – to ВВ+ with 
positive outlook, Fitch confirmed the rating at ВВ+ and revised the outlook from negative to stable. 

Russian economy is vulnerable to market downturns and global economic slowdown. 

At the moment investor’s’ comprehension of the country risks reduces the net volume of foreign 
investment in Russia and has a negative influence on the Russian economy. As well as Russia 
produces and exports large amounts of gas and oil, the Russian economy is especially vulnerable 
to  the  changes  of  international  prices  of  energy  resources;  the  reduction  of  gas  and  oil  prices 
significantly affects the Russian economy development. These events may restrict the access of 
the Company to the capital and have an adverse impact on consumer purchasing power. 

In the crisis environment experienced by the financial market and reduction of manufacturing output 
there is a risk of decrease in electricity demand that may result in reduction of sales and decrease 
in the Company's revenue and also a risk of increase in accounts receivable due to non-payments 
by the consumers of electricity.  

The management believes that it has been taking all necessary measures to mitigate the impact of 
these events on its activities: optimization of leverage, optimisation of the obtained borrowed funds, 
increase turnover of current assets, assessment of the buyers' solvency, diversification of resources 
use and others. 

Due  to  enhancement  of  the  state  control  over  energy  industry  the  Company  pays  considerable 
attention to transparency and confidence of control procedures relating to budget funds expenditure 
within the Company’s and subsidiaries’ investment programmes and also develops and improves 
the corporate internal control system and risk management.  

The Russian regions where the Company performs its operations are characterised by peaceful 
political situation. Probability of war conflicts, strikes, introduction of the state of emergency in these 
regions is low except for entities located in North-Caucasus Federal District.

(in millions of Russian Roubles unless otherwise stated) 

However,  changes  in  the  Company's  business  environment  in  Russia  and  in  the  regions  of  the 
Company's  presence,  the  nature  and  frequency  of  such  changes  and  related  risks  are  hard  to 
predict and so are their effects on the Company's operations in the future. Such risks are largely 
beyond the Company's control due to their global scale. If the situation is destabilised in Russia or 
in any Russian regions, the Company will implement crisis management strategies to minimise the 
risk of the negative effect of the situation on the Company to the fullest extent possible.  

To manage the risks the Company is implementing a complex action plan to enhance safety of the 
Company's facilities under which the existing plan on ensuring safety at the power plants, including 
those under construction is amended.  

Reputation risks 

Reputation risks are associated with negative perception of the quality of products, works, services 
sold, the ability to meet the deadlines for payment discipline, work performance, etc. 

The Company assesses its exposure to these risks as low due to the fact that the Company sells 
electricity  and  capacity  in  the  wholesale  market  and  has  high  and  sustainable  reputation  in  the 
market. 

To  manage  these  risks  the  Company  analyses  key  indicators  of  reputation  risks  based  on  the 
forecast of changes in the share of positive references in mass media, control over compliance with 
production  discipline,  cooperating  actively  with  all  stakeholders  to  maintain  high  reputation.  The 
company  organizes  public  events  jointly  with  interested  parties;  special  events  for  mass  media, 
analytics and investors. Also, the Company regularly updates information on official Internet sources 
and prepares official comments on key activities questions.  

Besides  the  Company  takes  measures  to  prevent  corruption.  Anti-corruption  policy,  the  code  of 
conduct, regulations on the procedure of the employer’s notification about inducement of personnel 
to  unlawful  acts,  gifts,  conflict  of  interests  arrangement  procedures  etc.  are  adopted  by  the 
Company. The “Trust line” acts on an on-going basis. 

The  Company  works  closely  with  Ministry  of  energy,  Federal  tax  service,  Federal  financial 
monitoring service within the anti-corruption and control of fraud activities. 

Other risks 

To  manage  the  risks  the  Company  focuses  on  other  operating  risks  including  risk  of  capital 
construction, industry risk, production risk, risk of hydraulicity, risks associated with compliance with 
legislation on labour safety, risks of industrial safety, environmental risks and risks associated with 
the third parties' activities and others. 

The reasons for these risks are associated with the industry-specific factors that are relevant to the 
operations, condition of property, plant and equipment.  There is an exposure to these risks, degree 
of possibility of events is at statistically average or low levels. On a permanent basis, the Company 
implements actions for monitoring the risks and decreasing the probability of their occurrence and 
severity  of  the  potential  adverse  consequences  including  assignment  of  responsibility,  control, 
diversification and insurance.

reporting rules currently effective in the Russian Federation provided for by the Federal Law "On 
Accounting" and "Regulation on Accounting and Reporting in the Russian Federation" as well as 
other accounting regulations approved by the Russian Ministry of Finance.

Regulation "Accounting for property, plant and equipment" (RAR 6/01). 
Property, plant and equipment include land, buildings, facilities, machinery, equipment, transport 
vehicles and other assets whose useful lives are over 12 months. 
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  recognised  at  their  historical  cost  equal  to  actual  acquisition 
(construction, production) cost. At the same time, fixed assets received in 2008 in connection with 
the merger of subsidiaries and affiliates to the Company, are accounted for at their market value 
determined by an independent appraiser. 
The acquired property, plant and equipment with historical cost of below RUB 40 thousand per unit 
which were initially recognised after 1 January 2011 are accounted for within inventories; property, 
plant  and  equipment  which  were  initially  recognised  before  1  January  2011  were  accounted  for 
within inventories, if their historical cost did not exceed RUB 20 thousand per unit.   
Real property assets which have been constructed, put into operation and are actually used but the 
title to which was not registered under the procedure established by the effective legislation are 
accounted for within property, plant and equipment in a separate line.  
Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  recognised  on  the  balance  sheet  at  cost  less  depreciation 
accumulated from the date of their independent valuation for merging subsidiaries and associates  
into the Company in 2008 or over the whole period of their operation, if they were put into operation 
after merging subsidiaries and associates into the Company.  
The Company does not perform the revaluation of property, plant and equipment items. 
Useful  lives  of  the  acquired  property,  plant  and  equipment  including  those  which  had  been  in 
operation  before  the  acquisition,  received  as  a  contribution  to  the  share  capital  or  under  legal 
succession  in  connection  with  restructuring,  are  established  by  the  review  committee  for 
commissioning  of  a  facility  based  on  the  Classification  of  the  Company's  property,  plant  and 
equipment when PP&E item is initially recognised. Useful lives of assets which were in use in prior 
periods are determined with consideration to the number of years (months) they were used by the 
previous owner. 

The adopted standard useful lives by groups of property, plant and equipment in accordance with 
the Classification of the Company's property, plant and equipment are presented below. 

Property, plant and equipment group

Useful lives of property, plant and 
equipment (years)  
on the balance sheet 
3 to 100 
1 to 40 
7 to 75 
1 to 20 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is accrued on a straight-line basis proceeding from 
their historical values and depreciation rates calculated based on their useful lives. 
Depreciation is not accrued on: 

− 
− 
− 

land plots and natural resources; 
fully depreciated assets that are still on the balance sheet. 
assets that are temporarily shutdown for more than three months and during the restoration 
period which exceeds twelve months.

into operation, equipment to be installed and other investments in non-current assets which are not 
included  in  PP&E.  Equipment  which  does  not  require  installation,  stored  in  the  warehouse  and 
intended for assets under construction are recorded within construction-in-progress in a separate 
line.  

These items are recognised in the balance sheet line 1150 "Property, plant and equipment".

Interest on borrowings raised for the purposes directly related to acquisition, construction and/or 
manufacture of investment assets, accrued prior to initial recognition of the assets is included in 
their  historical  cost;  that  accrued  after  the  initial  recognition  of  the  assets  are  recognised  in  the 
statement of financial results within other expenses. 

Interest  on  borrowings  raised  for  the  purposes  not  related  to  acquisition,  construction  and/or 
manufacture of investment assets, but actually used to purchase the investment assets are included 
in the cost of investment assets in proportion to the share of the above borrowings in total amount 
of  borrowings  raised  for  the  purposes  not  related  to  acquisition,  construction,  manufacture  of 
investment assets.   

Income-bearing investments in tangible assets represent PP&E items acquired for leasing out to 
generate income. 

These  assets  are  recognised  at  their  historical  cost  determined  under  the  procedure  used  for 
general PP&E items. 
Leased  PP&E  items  are  recognised  in  off-balance-sheet  accounts  at  cost  specified  in  the  lease 
agreement/determined based on the acceptance certificate. If the lease agreement and acceptance 
certificate do not specify the cost of these assets, property, plant and equipment are recorded in the 
off-balance-sheet accounts at the following values: 

− 
− 

land plots having the cadastral value - at their cadastral value;  
other  PP&E  items  -  in  the  amount  of  lease  payments  inclusive  of  VAT  under  lease 
agreement including the repurchase price of the leasing item. 

2.5  Investments 

Investments are accounted for in accordance with the Russian Accounting Regulation "Accounting 
for investments" (RAR 19/02). 

Investments include: 

− 
− 

− 
− 
− 

contributions to the share capital of other entities (including subsidiaries); 
debt securities (including bonds, promissory notes); 
deposits in credit institutions except for short-term deposits classified as cash equivalents 
(paragraph 2.9 of the Explanatory Notes); 
interest-bearing loans issued to other entities; 
government and municipal securities and other investments. 
Investments are initially recognised at their actual cost of acquisition. 
The Company's actual costs to purchase investments represent the historical cost of investments 
purchased at a charge. 
The historical cost of investments in the Company's share capital is presented by their monetary 
value agreed by the Company's founders, if not specified otherwise by the Russian legislation. 
Investments, the current market value of which can be determined under the established procedure, 
are recognised on the balance sheet at their current market value as of the end of each reporting 
period  (on  a  quarterly  basis).  The  difference  between  the  value  of  these  investments  as  of  the 
current reporting date and their prior value is recorded within other income and expenses. 
At the same time, contributions to the charter capitals of subsidiaries and associates (irrespective 
of the availability of current exchange quotations on them) refer to financial investments for which 
revaluation at current market value is not made. 

Current market value of the securities which are traded by the institutors of trading is determined at 
market prices established at MOEX stock exchange (http://moex.com). 
Investments for which no current market value is determinable are recorded on the balance sheet 
at their carrying (book) value, except for investments for which there are indications that the decline 
in their value (impairment) is significant and non-temporary as of the reporting date. 
Investments are tested for their impairment once a year as of 31 December of the reporting year, if 
there are indications of impairment. 
The  Company  accrues  the  impairment  provision  for  the  amount  of  difference  between  carrying 
(book) value and estimated value of the investments with regard to investments for which significant

and  constant  impairment  indicators  are  proved  by  impairment  test.  The  estimated  value  of 
investments is determined based on the data about net assets, revenue, composition of expenses, 
schedule of projects financing and other factors.  
Despite of the fact that well-grounded judgements are applied to determine the estimated value of 
investments,  there  are  unavoidable  limitations  as  in  any  valuation  technique.  Therefore,  the 
estimated value represents the Company management’s best estimate based on all the information 
available as of the reporting date. Future events will also have impact on determining the estimated 
value and impact of such events can be significant for the Company's financial statements. 

Difference between the historical cost and nominal value of debt securities for which current market 
value is not determinable, is recorded on a straight-line basis during the period of their circulation 
and  is  recognised  in  the  Company's  financial  results  within  other  income  (expenses).  When 
investments for which current market value is not determinable are disposed, they are carried at 
book value of each unit of these investments except for issuance securities (shares, bonds) which 
are disposed under FIFO; when investments for which current market value is determinable under 
the established procedure are disposed - based on the latest valuation. 

The Company discloses information about measurement at discounted value, the amount of the 
discounted value of debt securities of other related parties and loans issued to them.  

Income and expenses associated with investments are reported within other income or expenses. 
Interest on loans issued and other income from investments are recognised in the balance sheet 
line 1230 "Accounts receivable".  

2.6  Inventories 

Inventories are accounted for in accordance with the Russian Accounting Regulation "Accounting 
for inventories" (RAR 5/01). 
Inventories are accounted for at their actual cost of acquisition (production).  
If  market  value  of  inventories  as  of  the  end  of  the  reporting  year  is  below  their  historical  cost 
including due to on-going (long-term) price reduction, Company makes a provision in the amount of 
inventory impairment which is charged against increase in other expenses. Such inventories are 
recognised on the balance sheet net of the inventories' impairment provision. 
The average cost method is applied to determine the material expenses when writing-off inventories 
used to produce goods (provide services). 

2.7  Expenses of future periods 

Expenses incurred by the Company in the reporting period but related to future reporting periods 
(payments under voluntary and mandatory insurance of property and employees, one-off payments 
to  purchase  licenses  and  other  expenses)  are  recorded  as  expenses  of  future  periods.  These 
expenses are written-off for the purpose intended on a straight-line basis during the periods which 
they relate to.  
Expenses  of  future  periods  to  be  written-off  during  the  period    exceeding  twelve  months  are 
recognised  on  the  balance  sheet  as non-current  assets  in  line  1190  "Other  non-current  assets"; 
those to be written-off during twelve months - in line 1210 "Inventories".  

2.8  Accounts receivable 

Trade receivables are accounted for in the amount of services provided, works performed, good 
dispatched at justified prices and established tariffs. Settlements with other debtors are recognised 
for accounting and reporting purposes based on the contractual prices. Accounts receivable include 
non-interest-bearing promissory notes and non-interest-bearing loans issued. 
Accounts receivable which are overdue or unlikely to be repaid by the contractual deadlines and 
are not secured by guarantees, pledges or otherwise, are recognised on the balance sheet net of 
doubtful  debt  provision.  The  provision  is  based  on  the  conservative  assessment  made  by  the 
Company’s management with regard to the portion of receivables which is unlikely to be repaid.  
The provision amount is separately determined based on the unbiased information about solvency 
of the specific debtor and assessment of probability of receivables repayment in full or partially.

Accrual (release) of doubtful debts provision increases other expenses (income). 
Uncollectable receivables are written-off when recognized as such. These receivables are recorded

predictable amount of cash and are exposed to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 
The Company recognises short-term bank deposits with a maturity of up to three months (not longer

repayment of liabilities, not intended for investment and other purposes.  
The Company’s cash flows which cannot be clearly attributed to cash flows from operating, investing 
or financing activities are included in the cash flows from operating activities in the statement of

but not changing their total amount. 

2.10  Share capital, additional and reserve capital 

The Company’s share capital has been recorded in the amount of the nominal value of ordinary 
shares  purchased  by  shareholders.  The  share  capital  is  equal  to  the  amount  specified  in  the 
Company’s Charter. 
When  the  share  capital  is  increased  through  placement  of  additional  shares,  transactions 
associated with the formation of the share capital are accounted for when the respective changes 
made in the Company's constituent documents are registered.  
The  Company's  additional  capital  includes  share  premium  resulted  from  placement  of    the 
Company's  shares  at  price  exceeding  their  nominal  value  and  total  of  additional  capital  of

allocated and included in the amount payable separately for each month. 
Additional  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  borrowings  are  charged  to  expenses  of  future 
periods with subsequent straight-line inclusion in other expenses over the repayment period.

creating an investment impairment provision of  RUB 7,747 million, including RUB 3,907 
million for AO Leningradskaya GAES, RUB 2,168 million for AO Gidroinvest, RUB 1,171 
million for Power Company Limited and RUB 501 million for other companies; 
valuation of investments which have a current market value and related recording of a 
loss for the total of RUB 893 million (see paragraph 3.15 of the Notes), including the loss  
of RUB 900 million on the shares of OAO Inter RAO UES. 

Investments in subsidiaries that have current market value as of reporting date or formerly 

In accordance with para 20 of the Accounting Regulation “Accounting for Investments” (PBU 19/02), 
investments for which the fair market value is determinable under the established procedure are 
recorded in financial statements as at the year end at their current market value by adjusting their 
value at the prior reporting date. In accordance with para 24 of PBU 19/02, if no current market 
value is determinable at the reporting date for investments that were earlier carried at market value, 
such investments should be recorded at their latest value. 

As of 31 December 2017, 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015, investments included shares 
of  the  Company's  subsidiaries,  i.e.  AO  RAO  ES  of  East,  PАО  Yakutskenergo  and  PАО DEK, 
received  in  2011–2013  as  a  result  of  the  additional  issue  of  the  Company's  shares  which  are 
recognised on the Company's balance sheet. These investments are recorded at the value agreed 
with the founders and determined on the basis of the market valuation performed by an independent 
appraiser totalling 20,204 million as of 31 December 2017 (as of 31 December 2016: 20,204 million; 
as of 31 December 2015: 20,204 million). This valuation exceeds the current market value of the 
shares (for АО RAO ES of East - the cost of the last valuation at the current market value) as of 31 
December 2017,  31 December 2016  and  31 December 2015  by  RUB  6,702  million,  RUB  6,614 
million and RUB 5,047 million, respectively. 

The Company's management plans to get benefits from investments in AO RAO ES of East, PАО 
Yakutskenergo  and  PАО DEK  by  controlling  their  business  operations  rather  than  as  a  result  of 
fluctuations in their market value. Thus, according to the Company's management, current market 
quotes do not fairly reflect the fair value of the controlling shareholdings in these companies as the 
number of shares traded in the market is not representative; not more than 1% of total shares issued 
are in circulation on a daily basis. 

Also since the end of the 2015 year the process of AO RAO ES of East shares’ consolidation in 
RusHydro Group (RusHydro Group includes the Company and subsidiaries which are controlled by 
the Company directly or indirectly via other subsidiaries) by buying from minority and bringing the 
stake to 100% has started. In 2016, as part of the voluntary offer and then the forced repurchase of 
shares  of  AO  RAO  ES  of  East,  carried  out  by  one  of  the  subsidiaries  of  the  RusHydro  Group, 
RusHydro's  stake  in  AO  RAO  ES  of  East  grew  from  86.20%  to  99.98%.  From  the  middle  of 
September 2016 the current market value of the shares of PAO RAO ES of East is not determined. 
As of 31 December 2017, and to date, delisting of shares from the Moscow stock exchange took 
place, the shares were excluded from the quotation lists, also the indication of the public status was 
excluded from the name of the company.  

In  view  of  these  circumstances  and  considering  that  the  Company  has  no  plans  to  sell  these 
investments, in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Russian Accounting Regulation "Accounting 
reports  of  an  organisation"  (RAR 4/99),  approved  by  order  No.  43n  of  the  Russian  Ministry  of 
Finance of 6 July 1999, the Company decided against performing revaluation of its investments in 
shares of AO RAO ES of East, PАО Yakutskenergo and PАО DEK at the current market value from 
acquisition date.   

The Company’s management analysed the models of expected cash flows and factors that may 
show  that  there  are  indications of  impairment  of  investments  and  came  to  a decision  that  these 
assets are not impaired as of 31 December 2017. 

Therefore, the valuation approach to these investments applied by the Company allows avoiding 
inappropriate  presentation  of  the  Company’s  financial  position,  financial  performance  and  cash 
flows. 

The amount of unrecognised change in the market value as compared to the carrying amount as of 
31  December  2017  is  RUB  6,702  million  (as  of  31  December  2016:  RUB  6,614  million;  as  of

31 December 2015: RUB 5,047  million). With account of the above unrecorded value change the 
figures in these financial statements would have been as follows: 

−  net assets – RUB 819,046 million (as of 31 December 2016: RUB 762,785 million, as of 31 

December 2015: RUB 737,489 million); 

− 

− 

financial investments –  RUB 305,447 million (as of 31.12.2016: RUB 285,659 million, as of 
31.12.2015:  RUB  315,050  million)  and  retained  earnings  –  RUB  268,292  million  (as  of 
31.12.2016: RUB 254,060 million, as of 31.12.2015: RUB 230,039 million); 

other expense – RUB 22,437 million (as of 31.12.2016 – RUB 39,903 million), net profit – 
RUB 36,061 million (as of 31.12.2016 – RUB 40,310 million) and basic earnings per share 
– RUB 0,08876 (as of 31.12.2016 – RUB 0,10436). 

Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and other entities for which current 
market value is not determinable 

The  Company's  management  analysed  the  negative  trends  related  to  a  number  of  subsidiaries, 
which is presented below. The management performed the analysis of investments to the share 
capital  of  the  entities  listed  below  for  possible  signs  of  impairment,  and  also  analysed  possible 
impairment of other assets related to these subsidiaries, including those recorded within accounts 
receivable (see paragraph 3.2.2 of the Explanatory Notes). 

As a result of the analysis, a number of subsidiaries and other organizations were impaired and a 
provision was made in the total amount RUB 7,747 million. 

The amount of provision for impairment of investments for which the current market value is not 
determined as of 31 December 2017 is RUB 25,576 million (as of 31.12.2016 – RUB 17,855 million, 
as of 31.12.2015 – RUB 2,466  million). The initial value of long-term financial investments in respect 
of which a provision for impairment of financial investments was created is RUB 37,166 million as 
of 31.12.2017 (as of 31.12.2016 – RUB 35,096 million, as of 31.12.2015 – RUB 8,453 million). 

AO  Zagorskaya  GAES-2.  In  September  2013,  Zagorskaya  GAES-2  which  is  currently  under 
construction suffered from the flooding of a section of the GAES building from the lower reservoir. 
Due to the technical complexity of identifying the losses as a result of the accident, management 
are not able to estimate the amount of expenses needed to rectify the accident consequences and 
write off the damaged items of construction in progress.  

Assets  in  relation  to  AO  Zagorskaya  GAES-2  on  the  balance  sheet  of  the  Company  as  of 
31 December 2017 are as follows: 

−  within long-term investments: shares of AO Zagorskaya GAES-2 for the amount of RUB 

60,691 million; 

−  within other accounts receivable: receivable, incurred from the partial payment of stock as 
part  of  additional  issue  of  shares  of  AO  Zagorskaya  GAES-2,  but  before  the  passing  of 
Company ownership of issue shares for the amount of RUB 6 647 million. 

The analysis of recoverability of these assets performed by the Company as of 31 December 2017 
was based on the following key factors: 

−  Construction  works  and  the  assets  are  insured.  As  at  31  December  2017  all  insurance 
companies PIJSC Ingosstrakh, JSC AlfaStrakhovanie and JSC SOGAZ have recognized 
the  technical  incident  at  Zagorskaya  GAES-2  as  an  insured  event  and  paid  insurance 
indemnity. 

−  Management  plans 

to  perform 

recovery  work  and  complete  construction  of 
Zagorskaya GAES-2. As of 31 December 2017 there is significant uncertainty in terms of 
the  expenses  to  be  incurred  on  recovery  of  damage  caused  by  the  flooding  at 
Zagorskaya GAES-2.  However,  these  expenses  can  be  significant.  Capacity  supply 
contracts were concluded in respect of Zagorskaya GAES-2. There are specific rules for 
the price setting in respect of new HPPs (including pumped-storage power plants) being

constructed: the price is set in a manner that guarantees payback period of 20 years for all 
CAPEX invested in construction.  

−  Following the decision of the regulatory body NP Market Council of 22 November 2016 the 
commissioning  of  the  first  stage  of  the  Zagorskaya  PSPP-2  and  the  first  date  of  the 
beginning of the fulfillment of the obligations for the delivery of capacity were postponed 
until 1 January 2019, with respect to the second stage - until 1 January 2020. As a result of 
the adjustment of the terms, AO Zagorskaya PSPP-2 has no penalties for the shortage of 
capacity to the market under the said contracts.  

Based  on  the  analysis  of  factors  that  might  indicate  impairment  of  assets  related  to 
Zagorskaya GAES-2 construction project, the Company's management concluded that there were 
no such indicators as of 31 December 2017. 

No negative trends which may result in impairment of other shareholdings were observed.

and 2022. 

−  Guarantees provided for liabilities of PAO Kamchatskenergo under its loan agreements with

PAO  Sberbank  and  Bank  VTB  (PAO)  cover  the  principle  amount  and  interest.  The

Guarantees issued by the Company for liabilities of PAO Boguchanskaya GES under its loan

− 

− 

total  liabilities  of  PAO  Boguchanskaya  GES  under  the  loan  agreement,  including 
accumulated  interest  in  the  amount  of  RUB  25 935  million  as  of  31  December  2017 
(31 December 2016: RUB 26 750 million); 
pledge of PAO Boguchanskaya GES's interest-free promissory notes for the total of RUB 
21,027 million (see Note 3.2.2 of the Explanatory Notes) and pledge of shares for the total 
of RUB 14 thousand. 

RUSAL Group undertakes to reimburse the Company for 50 percent of liabilities settled under this 
guarantee by the Company for PAO Boguchanskaya GES. In February 2018, an agreement on the 
termination of the guarantee contract was signed. The parties agreed to terminate the guarantee 
contract starting from the date of signing. 

3.6.4  Non-deliverable forward contract for shares 
In March 2017 the Company signed a contract with Bank VTB (PAO) (hereinafter the “Bank”) under 
which the Bank is to acquire 55 billion ordinary shares of the Company and a non-deliverable equity 
forward for these shares for a 5-year period. Under the contract the Bank bought 40 000 000 000 
shares of the Company from the current additional issue of the Company shares (see para 3.3.1 of 
the Notes) and 15 000 000 000 shares of the Company from subsidiaries at the price of RUB 1 per 
share for the total amount of RUB 55 billion.  
Cash received from the Bank was used to provide long-term special purpose loans to AO RAO ES 
Vostoka  and  its  subsidiaries  to  refinance  their  current  liabilities  to  banks  (see  para  3.1.2  of  the 
Notes). 
According to the forward contract, the forward value is determined as the purchase consideration 
paid by the Bank plus the amount of prepayment that the Company pays to the Bank on a quarterly 
basis. The prepayment amount is calculated using a special formula that reduces the prepayment 
amount  by  the  amount  of  dividends  received  by  the  Bank  in  the  effective  period  of  the  forward 
contract.  
The Bank is assumed to sell the Company’s shares at the time of final settlement under the forward 
contract.  The  difference  between  the  proceeds  that the  Bank will  receive  from  the  sale  of  these 
shares and their forward value is subject to cash settlement between the Company and the Bank. 
Thus, if the forward value is higher than the purchase consideration paid for the shares sold, the 
Company will reimburse the difference, net of the prepaid amount, to the Bank and, vice versa, if 
the proceeds from the sale of shares are in excess of the forward value, the difference will be paid 
by the Bank to the Company. If, for any reason, the Bank does not sell the shares, they will continue 
to  be  held  by  the  Bank.  If  this  is  the  case,  the  amount  of  additional  payment  to  be  made  when 
closing the forward transaction is calculated based on the quoted market price of the Company's 
shares. 
Thus, the payments will be made upon expiry of the forward contract or earlier, if the Bank sells the 
shares held. The payment can be made both by the Company to the Bank or by the Bank to the

(in millions of Russian Roubles unless otherwise stated) 

Company, depending on the level of the market value of the Company’s shares at the time of sale 
/ expiry of the transaction term and their forward value. 
Management of the Company analysed terms of the contract with the Bank and concluded that the 
Bank  acts  a  full-fledged  shareholder  as  it  receives  the  right  to  take  part  in  the  Company’s 
governance and the right to receive dividends while the Company does not have any obligations to 
buy  the  shares  back  from  the  Bank  or  any  other  binding  arrangements.  According  to  the 
management, decreasing a prepaid amount of forward value by the amounts of dividends received 
by the Bank does not directly represent a return of dividends, and, therefore, does not limit the Bank 
in terms of receiving benefits from the share ownership. 
As  at  31  December  2017  the  fair  value  of  the  liability  under  the  non-deliverable  equity  forward 
calculates in accordance with IFRS was RUB 20,716 million.  
As at 31 December 2017 the Company’s management believe that there will be no return of prepaid 
amounts to the Company upon expiry of the five year period at the time of  the forward contract 
closure.  Given the above and following the prudence, principle prepayments of RUB 3,243 million 
made under the non-deliverable forward contract in 2017 are recognised within other expenses (see 
paragraph 3.3 of the Explanatory Notes).

Relations with tax authorities 

Russian  tax  legislation  active  or  effective  as  of  the  end  of  the  reporting  period  allows  varying 
interpretation of the separate facts of the Company’s economic life. As a consequence, the position 
of the Company’s management in terms of taxes and documents substantiateв this position may be 
challenged  by  tax  authorities.  The  tax  control  in  Russian  Federation  gets  stringent  resulting  in 
increase of tax inspections risk. These inspections may cover 3 calendar years preceding the year 
when the decision about inspection was made. In some cases the earlier periods may be examined. 

As  of  31  December  2017,  the  Company's  management  believe  that  their  interpretation  of  the 
relevant legislation was appropriate, tax liabilities are recorded in full and the Company's tax and 
currency positions will be sustained.

Explanatory Notes to the 2017 Balance sheet and Statement of Financial Results  
(in millions of Russian Roubles unless otherwise stated) 

3.13  Segment Information 

The Company does not identify any reporting segments in its operations, as the Company's core 
business activity is production of electricity and capacity – their share in the revenue from sales is 
99,7%. The individuals credentialed to make the decisions concerning allocation of the resources 
within the Company and assess the results of its performance analyse the Company’s activity as a 
whole segment. 

3.14  Contingent liabilities 

As  of  31  December  2017,  the  Company  had  outstanding  issued  guarantees  to  the  third  parties' 
creditors and pledged assets for the total amount of RUB 82,916  million (31 December 2016: RUB 
101,926 million, 31 December 2015: RUB 92,757 million) (see paragraph 3.6.3 of the Explanatory 
Notes). According to the Company's management expectations, no material liabilities will arise in 
connection with these guarantees. 

Moreover, the prosecutor's office and other oversight bodies examined operations of the Company, 
and this also may result in additional claims filed against the Company and its employees.  

The Russian transfer pricing legislation is aligned with the international principles developed by the 
Organisation  for  Economic  Cooperation  and  Development  (OECD).  The  legislation  allows  tax 
authorities  to  assess  additional  taxes  for  controlled  transactions  (transactions  between  related 
parties and some transactions between unrelated parties) if such transactions are not on an arm's 
length basis. The Company's management has implemented internal control procedures to ensure 
compliance with transfer pricing law. 

Tax  liabilities  arising  as  a  result  of  operations  between  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  are 
determined  based  on  the  actual  transaction  price.  There  is  a  probability  that  the  prices  may  be 
disputed as practice for application of the transfer rules changes. The effect of such course of events 
cannot  be  estimated  reliably  but  may  have  a  material  effect  on  the  Company's  financial  results 
and/or operations. 

New provisions aimed at deoffshorisation of Russian economy have been added to the Russian tax 
legislation  and  are  effective  from  1  January  2015.  Specifically,  they  introduce  new  rules  for 
controlled  foreign  companies,  a  concept  of  beneficiary  owner  of  income  for  the  purposes  of 
application of preferential provisions of taxation treaties of the Russian Federation. Management of 
the Company conducts analysis of impact of new rules on Companies' activity and takes necessary 
measures to meet new requirements of Russian Tax legislation. Likelihood of claims from Russian 
tax authorities (and probability of positive resolution of disputes) can't be reliably measured because 
there's no practice of new tax rules. Financial statements of the Company can be affected if tax 
disputes arise. 

3.15  Financial risk management 

The  primary  objectives  of  the  financial  risk  management  function  are  to  provide  reasonable 
assurance  of  achieving  the  Company's  goals  by  developing  a  methodology  of  risk  identification, 
analysis and assessment, as well as to establish risk limits, and then ensure that exposure to risks 
stays within these limits and if the limits are exceeded – to treat this risk accordingly. 

Market risks 

Market risks include currency risk, interest rate and price risks.  

Currency risk. The Company sells its produced electricity and capacity in the Russian domestic 
market at prices denominated in national currency, settlements with resources suppliers, charge 
and  acceptance  of  payments  from  the  customers  are  made  specifically  in  Russian  roubles. 
Liabilities of the Company are denominated in national currency. As a result effect of changes in 
currency  exchange  rates  on  the  Company’s  financial  position  and  activities  is  estimated  as 
insignificant. The Company's operations are planned and carried out in such a way that all its assets 
and liabilities are denominated in the national currency. 

Information  on  the  Company's  exposure  to  currency  risk  is  presented  in  line  with  its  use  for  the 
preparation of RusHydro Group's IFRS financial statements as defined in IFRS 7:

The above analysis includes only monetary assets and liabilities. Investments in shares and non-
monetary assets are not considered to give rise to significant currency risk. 

Changes in exchange rates have no significant influence on the Company's financial position. 

Interest  rate  risk.  The  Company’s  operating  profits  and  cash  flows  from  operating  activity  are 
substantially independent of the changes in market interest rates.  

The  effect  of  changes  in  the  average  market  interest  rates  on  the  value  of  the  Company's 
investments is insignificant as the rates of return on the Company's investments are fixed. 

The Company also receives loans with floating interest rates based on MOSPRIME, Euribor rates, 
which leads to risk of changes in interest rates. At the same time, the share of borrowed funds with 
a fixed interest rate is 91% of the Company's loan portfolio.  The influence of changes in these rates 
on the Company's profit is insignificant. 

The Company monitors interest rate risk for its financial instruments. Effective interest rates as of 
the end of the period are presented in paragraph 3.4.1 of the Explanatory Notes. 

Price risk. The Company sales power and capacity, mainly, in the wholesale market. The price risk 
at the wholesale market is connected with possible volatility of the prices, and also with reduction 
of prices of the corresponding goods. 

Electricity at the wholesale market is realized by Company mainly at the market for the days ahead. 
Weighted  average  price  of  sale  of  electricity  for  the days  ahead  for  the Company  in  2017 didn't 
change significantly in comparison with an indicator of 2016. 

As the key instrument for trading capacity in the wholesale market is the contracts for purchase and 
sale  of  capacity  by  results  of  competitive  selection  of  capacity.  The  price  of  capacity,  based  on 
which liabilities under such contracts are calculated, after the transition in 2015 to long-term model 
of competitive selection of capacity, is determined by results of competitive selections of capacity 
for four years ahead. The price differences on capacity created following the results of competitive 
selections of capacity for 2016-2020, make no more than 5% for each price zone.    

At  the  liberalised  market  of  the  electric  power  the  price  of  goods  directly  depends  on  demand 
amount. For the purpose of increase in a financial result of economic activity Company considers 
the seasonal, week and daily changes in demand on the electric power in case of sales planning of 
the electric power. 

The price risk determines the possible changes / fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows 
due to changes in market prices (excluding changes leading to interest rate or currency risk). 

The table below includes the Company's investments exposed to the price risk.

* As of 31.12.2017, the financial investment in JSC RAO ES of the East in the amount of RUB 18,495 million 
was included in the line "Equity investments for which the current market value is not determined", as in 2017 
the company's shares were delisted from the Moscow exchange. As at 31.12.2016 and 31.12.2015 the financial 
investments were included in the line "Equity investments in subsidiaries subject to fair value, but revaluation 
at the reporting date was not made». 

Current market value of quoted securities is determined by market prices established on the stock 
exchange PАО MICEX-RTS (http://moex.com), according to the 'Procedure for determining market 
value of securities, estimated price of securities and the threshold for the fluctuations of securities' 
market  price  for  the  purpose  of  Chapter  23  of  the  Russian  Tax  Code  approved  by  Order  of  the 
Federal Service for Financial Markets No. 10-65/pz-n of 9 November 2010. 

Credit risk 

Credit risk is the possibility of the Company's losses resulting from the counterparty’s inability to 
meet its obligations under the contract. Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the Company’s 
sales of products on credit terms and other transactions with counterparties giving rise to financial 
assets. 
Although collectability of receivables can be influenced by economic factors, management believe 
that  there  is  no  significant  risk  of  loss  to  the  Company  beyond  the  provision  for  impairment  of 
receivables already recorded. The Company regularly monitors existing receivables and undertakes 
actions to collect them and minimize losses. 

Cash has been placed in financial institutions, which are considered at the time of deposit to have 
minimal  risk  of  default.  The  Company  approves  deposit  banks  as  well  as  rules  for  making  cash 
deposits.  The  Company  performs  regular  review  of  financial  institutions,  monitors  their  ratings 
assigned  by  independent  agencies  as  well  as  other  performance  indicators  of  these  financial 
institutions. 

Summary information on cash deposits and their equivalents including names of banks and other 
financial institutions and their ratings as of the end of the reporting period is provided in paragraph 
3.2.4 of the Explanatory Notes. 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated 
with financial liabilities. 

Efficient liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, 
and ensuring the availability of additional funding through an adequate amount of committed credit 
facilities. The Group follows the balanced model of working capital financing when both long-term 
and  short-term  sources  of  finance  are  used.  The  Company  places  available  cash  to  short-term 
financial  instruments,  mainly,  bank  deposits  and  short-term  bank  promissory  notes.  Short-term 
liabilities are represented mainly by trade accounts payable. 

The Company has implemented controls over the contracting process by using standard financial 
procedures that include standard payment structure, standard payment time, standard correlation 
between  the  advance  and  final  settlement  amounts,  etc.  This  way  the  Company  controls  the 
maturity structure of capital. 

The ageing analysis for long term borrowings is presented is paragraph 3.4.1 of the Explanatory 
Notes.

Independent Auditor’s Report 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Public Joint Stock Company Federal       
Hydro-Generating Company – RusHydro: 

Our opinion  
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of PJSC RusHydro and its subsidiaries (together – the “Group”) as at 
31 December 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the 
year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

What we have audited 
The Group’s consolidated financial statements comprise: 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017; 

the consolidated income statement for the year then ended; 

the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended; 

the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; 

the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; and 

the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies 
and other explanatory information. 

Basis for opinion  
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our 
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the 
Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for 
our opinion.  

Independence 
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for 
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical 
requirements of the Auditor’s Professional Ethics Code and Auditor’s Independence Rules that are 
relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Russian Federation. We have 
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

Our audit approach 

Overview 
PJSC RusHydro’s shares are listed on the Moscow Exchange. The Group’s principal business 
operations are generation and sales of electricity, capacity and heat energy in the Russian wholesale 
and retail markets. The Group companies are also involved in other operations, including electricity 
transmission and distribution, construction, repairs and provision of other services. 

•  Overall group materiality: Russian Roubles (“RUB”) 3,800 million, 
which represents 1% of total revenues and government grants. 

•  We conducted audit procedures in respect of those companies of the 
Group that were considered significant components based on their 
individual share in the Group’s revenue, which exceeds 15%: PJSC 
RusHydro, PJSC DEK, JSC DGK. 

•  Our audit scope covered inter alia 74% of the Group’s revenues and 
81% of the Group’s total carrying value of property, plant and 
equipment. 

Key audit matters 
•  Assessment of impairment of property, plant and equipment 
•  Assessment of impairment of accounts receivable 
•  Recognition of the non-deliverable forward contract for shares 

We designed our audit by determining materiality and assessing the risks of material misstatement in 
the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made 
subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved 
making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. We also addressed 
the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of 
whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 

Materiality 
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of the concept of materiality. An audit is 
designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material 
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements. 

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, 
including the overall group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out 
in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of 
our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of 
misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a 
whole.

Overall group materiality 

RUB 3,800 million 

How we determined it 

1% of total revenues and government grants 

Rationale for the 
materiality benchmark 
applied 

We chose total revenues and government grants as the 
benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark which 
best represents the Group’s performance. We chose 1% as the 
materiality level, which falls within the range of quantitative 
materiality thresholds used for companies in this sector. 

Key audit matters  
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in 
our audit of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the 
context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion 
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the Key audit 
matter 

Assessment of impairment of property, 
plant and equipment 

For matters requiring disclosure and related 
significant accounting policies, judgements 
and accounting estimates see Notes 2, 7 and 
32 to the consolidated financial statements. 

At 31 December 2017, the Group’s aggregate 
carrying amount of property, plant and 
equipment was RUB 799,855 million. This is 
the most significant asset on the Group’s 
balance sheet, accounting for 78% of the total 
assets. 

The Group management performed an analysis 
of the business performance, industry outlook 
and operational plans and then assessed the 
recoverable value of property, plant and 
equipment by cash generating unit for the 
purpose of impairment testing. Impairment 
arises when the recoverable amount, which is 
determined as the higher of the fair value less 
costs of disposal and its value in use, is below 
the carrying amount of the analysed assets. 

Management’s testing identified impairment of 
a number of cash generating units, and the 
Group accrued an impairment loss of 
RUB 24,000 million in the consolidated 
income statement for the year ended 
31 December 2017.  

We obtained and examined the financial models 
that management used for assessing impairment 
of property, plant and equipment.  We engaged 
our valuation experts to form our conclusion on 
the assumptions and methodology that were 
used in the impairment assessment. 

Our audit procedures related to the 
management’s assessment of impairment of 
property, plant and equipment, included the 
following: 

•  assessment of the methodology used by the 

Group management for the impairment test; 

•  examination, on a test basis, of key 

assumptions used in financial models and 
whether they are in line with the approved 
budgets and business plans, available 
reliable external sources (including 
macroeconomic forecasts, information on 
regulated and market electricity and capacity 
prices, etc.) and our industry-specific 
expertise; 

•  assessment of competence, skills, experience 
and objectivity of the management’s experts; 
•  examination, on a test basis, of accuracy and 

relevance of inputs that management 
incorporated in the financial models for 

iii 

 
 
 
 
Key audit matter 

The recognition of additional loss also led to a 
decrease of RUB 1,043 million (net of tax) in 
the property, plant and equipment revaluation 
reserve in the consolidated statement of 
comprehensive income. There was no basis for 
accrual of impairment loss for those cash 
generating units for which management 
concluded, based on its assessment, that their 
recoverable amount is higher than or equals 
their carrying amount. 

We focused on the property, plant and 
equipment impairment assessment as this 
process is complicated, requires significant 
management’s judgements and is based on 
assumptions that are affected by the projected 
future market and economic conditions that 
are inherently uncertain. 

The impairment test is sensitive to reasonably 
possible changes in assumptions. The most 
significant judgements are related to the 
applied discount rate together with the 
assumptions supporting the relevant forecast 
cash flows, in particular those concerning the 
electricity and capacity tariff rates and volumes 
of investments. 

How our audit addressed the Key audit 
matter 

assessing the impairment of property, plant 
and equipment; 

•  examination, on a test basis, of mathematical 

accuracy of financial models used by 
management to assess the impairment of 
property, plant and equipment ; 
•  consideration of potential impact of 
reasonably possible changes in key 
assumptions; 

•  obtaining and reviewing management’s 
written representations related to their 
property, plant and equipment impairment 
test. 

As a result of the above procedures, we believe 
that the key assumptions used by the 
management are acceptable for the purposes of 
preparing the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements.  

Acceptability of management’s current estimates 
regarding the property, plant and equipment 
impairment for the purpose of preparing the 
financial statements for the year ended 
31 December 2017 does not guarantee that 
future events that are inherently uncertain 
would not lead to a significant change in these 
estimates. 

We note that the management’s financial models 
are to a significant extent sensitive to the 
changes in key assumptions. It could reasonably 
be expected, that if actual results differ from 
assumptions made, accordingly, there could 
arise either additional losses from impairment in 
the future or gains from the release of previously 
recognised impairment charges. 

We also assessed the compliance of disclosures 
in Notes 2, 7 and 32 to the consolidated financial 
statements with the disclosure requirements of 
IAS 36 ‘Impairment of Assets’. 

As a result of our procedures, we have not 
identified any evidence that would require 
significant adjustments to the recorded amount 
of impairment of property, plant and equipment 
or to the respective disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements.

matter 

Assessment of impairment of accounts 
receivable 

For matters requiring disclosure, and related 
significant accounting policies, judgements 
and accounting estimates see Notes 2, 12 and 
32 to the consolidated financial statements.  

At 31 December 2017, the carrying amount of 
the Group’s trade receivables was RUB 34,708 
million (RUB 61,279 million less an 
impairment provision of RUB 26,571 million). 

Thus, the receivables that are assessed by the 
Group management as doubtful, account for a 
significant portion within the structure of trade 
receivables (at 31 December 2017, the Group 
accrued an impairment provision amounting 
to 43% of the total trade receivables).  

The Group management establishes a 
provision for doubtful debts based on the 
assessment of deterioration of the specific 
customer’s solvency position, their individual 
specifics, payment dynamics, subsequent 
payments after the end of the reporting period 
as well as future cash inflow forecast analysis 
by reference to the conditions existing at the 
reporting date. The degree of accuracy of the 
management’s estimate will be confirmed or 
rebutted depending on the future 
developments that are inherently uncertain. 

We focused on receivables impairment 
assessment as this process is complicated and 
requires significant management’s judgements, 
and the amount of impairment is significant. 

Our audit procedures related to management’s 
assessment of trade receivables impairment 
included: 

•  review of management’s collectability 

analysis taking into account counterparty 
solvency analysis and its deterioration as of 
the reporting date, intention, if any, to allow 
payment by instalments, subsequent 
payments after the end of the reporting 
period, existence of security and its quality, 
as well as other factors considered by 
management; 

•  analysis of the receivables turnover the 
results of which were used inter alia to 
examine the management’s collectability 
analysis; 

•  sample testing of past due but not impaired 

trade receivables for assessing the 
management’s conclusion that there is no 
impairment considering the prospects and 
timing of collection of such receivables; 

•  sample testing of underlying documents for 
management’s assessment of the probability 
of collection of receivables, such as payment 
orders supporting payments received in 
2018; 

•  review of external information from the 
regulators of the wholesale electricity 
(capacity) market, including the Supervisory 
Board of NP Market Council, which regularly 
takes decisions on excluding companies from 
the register of participants in the wholesale 
electricity (capacity) market; among those 
there are the Group’s customers of its 
electricity (capacity) , with deteriorated 
solvency as expected; 

•  obtaining and reviewing management’s 

written representations related to receivables 
impairment test.

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the Key audit 
matter 

We also assessed the compliance of disclosures 
in Notes 2, 12 and 32 to the consolidated 
financial statements with the disclosure 
requirements of IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: 
Disclosures’. 

Acceptability of management’s current estimates 
regarding the receivables impairment for the 
purpose of preparing the consolidated financial 
statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 
does not guarantee that future events that are 
inherently uncertain would not lead to 
significant changes in these estimates. 

As a result of our procedures, we have not 
identified any evidence that would require 
significant adjustments to the amount of 
impairment of accounts receivable or to the 
respective disclosures in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements. 

Recognition of the non-deliverable 
forward contract for shares 

For matters requiring disclosure, and related 
significant accounting policies, judgements 
and accounting estimates see Notes 2, 19 and 
32 to the consolidated financial statements.  

In March 2017, PAO RusHydro simultaneously 
signed a contract with Bank VTB (PAO) under 
which the Bank acquired 55 billion ordinary 
shares of PAO RusHydro, and a non-
deliverable forward contract for these shares 
for a five-year period.  

Following the analysis performed, the Group 
management decided to treat the above 
transactions separately and to recognise the 
sale of shares in equity and a derivative 
financial instrument.  

We obtained and reviewed the models that were 
used to measure the fair value of the non-
deliverable forward contract at its initial 
recognition date and at 31 December 2017. We 
engaged valuation experts in order to form our 
conclusion on the assumptions and the 
methodology used in the fair value assessment. 

Our audit procedures in respect of the 
recognition of the non-deliverable forward 
contract for shares included: 
• 

assessing reasonableness of the assumptions 
that the Group management applied to 
determine the treatment of the non-
deliverable forward contract in the 
consolidated financial statements; 

As at 31 December 2017, the liability under the 
forward contract of RUB 20,716 million is 
recorded as a long-term derivative financial 
instrument at fair value through profit or loss. 
At the initial recognition date (3 March 2017) 
the fair value of this non-deliverable forward 
contract amounted to RUB 10,013 million and 
was recorded within equity as it arose on the 
transaction with shareholders.   

• 

• 

assessing validity and appropriateness of the 
methodology used by the Group 
management to develop fair value models for 
the non-deliverable forward contract;  

testing accuracy and relevance of the key 
assumptions and source data used in the 
models, and their consistency with other 
information obtained during the audit, with 

vi 

 
 
 
Key audit matter 

We focused on the treatment of this non-
deliverable forward contract in the 
consolidated financial statements of the Group 
due to the complexity of its accounting 
treatment and of the assessment of the 
instrument’s fair value, which requires 
management to exercise professional 
judgement, and because the liability 
recognised under the forward contract and the 
corresponding effects on the consolidated 
statement of profits and losses and on equity 
are material. 

How our audit addressed the Key audit 
matter 

• 

• 

• 

available reliable external information and 
our expert knowledge of industry specifics; 

assessing competence, skills, experience and 
objectivity of the management’s experts; 

testing the mathematical accuracy of 
financial instrument’s fair value calculation; 

considering and assessing potential impact of 
reasonably possible changes in key 
assumptions; 

•  obtaining and analysing management’s 
written representations related to the 
treatment of the non-deliverable forward 
contract. 

Following the results of our procedures, we 
believe that the estimates and judgements made 
by management with regard to the recognition of 
the non-deliverable forward contract are 
appropriate for the purposes of preparation of 
the accompanying consolidated financial 
statements.   

In addition we assessed compliance of the 
disclosures in Notes 2, 19 and 32 to the 
consolidated financial statements with the 
presentation and disclosure requirements of IAS 
39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and 
Measurements’, IFRS 7 ‘Financial Instruments: 
Disclosures’ and IFRS 13 ‘Fair Value 
Measurement”. 

As a result of our procedures, we have not 
identified any evidence that would require 
significant adjustments in respect of recognition 
of the non-deliverable forward contract or the 
respective disclosures in the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements. 

How we tailored our Group audit scope 

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to be able to give an opinion on 
the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management 
structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls as well as the specific nature of the 
industry in which the Group operates. 

vii 

 
 
 
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the financial information of its 
components, i.e. individual companies of the Group. If we considered a component to be significant, 
we audited its financial information based on the materiality level established for each such 
component.  

Similar to the determination of the overall materiality, significance of components was assessed based 
on the component’s individual share in the Group’s revenue. We determined the following significant 
components, which individually account for more than 15% of the Group’s total revenue: 
PJSC RusHydro, PJSC DEK, JSC DGK. 

If we did not consider that the procedures performed at the level of significant components provided 
adequate audit evidence for expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a 
whole, we performed analytical procedures at the Group level and audit procedures in respect of 
individual balances and types of operations for other components of the Group. 

We chose other components of the Group for audit procedures in respect of individual balances and 
types of operations separately for each financial statement line item included in the scope of our audit, 
and our choice depended inter alia on the following factors: level of audit evidence obtained from the 
audit of significant components and level of concentration of balances and types of operations in the 
Group’s structure. We also change our selection of a number of other components on a rotation basis. 

On the whole, our audit procedures that were performed at the level of significant and other 
components of the Group and included, in particular, detailed testing and testing of controls on a 
sample basis, in our opinion, provided adequate coverage of individual line items in the consolidated 
financial statements. Thus, for example, our procedures covered 74% of the Group’s revenue and 81% 
of the total carrying value of the Group’s property, plant and equipment.  

When performing the audit procedures the audit team engaged specialists in taxation, IFRS 
methodology, as well as experts in valuation of property, plant and equipment and pension liabilities. 

We believe that the results of procedures performed on a sample basis at the level of the Group’s 
components, analytical procedures at the Group’s level and procedures over the consolidated financial 
reporting have provided sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for expressing our opinion on the 
Group’s consolidated financial statements as a whole. 

Other information 
Management is responsible for the other information. Other information includes PJSC RusHydro’s 
Annual Report for 2017 and Issuer’s Report of PJSC RusHydro for Q1 2018, but does not include the 
consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. PJSC RusHydro’s Annual Report 
for 2017 and Issuer’s Report of PJSC RusHydro for Q1 2018 are expected to be made available to us 
after the date of this auditor’s report. 

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will 
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the 
other information identified above, when it is made available to us, and, in doing so, consider whether 
the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

viii 

 
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the 
consolidated financial statements 
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is 
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the 
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going 
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to 
liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements 
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements 
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not 
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material 
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material 
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic 
decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain 
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and 
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk 
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the 
override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit 

procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an 
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting 

estimates and related disclosures made by management. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting 

and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events 
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. 
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 
report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are 
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to 
the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to 
cease to continue as a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, 

including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the 
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

Note 1. 

The Group and its operations 

PJSC RusHydro (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) was incorporated and is domiciled in the Russian 
Federation. The Company is a joint stock company limited by value of shares and was set up in accordance 
with Russian regulations.  

The primary activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as “the Group”) 
are generation and sale of electricity and capacity on the Russian wholesale and retail markets, as well as 
generation and sale of heat energy. 

Economic  environment 
in  the  Russian  Federation.  The  Russian  Federation  displays  certain 
characteristics  of  an  emerging  market.  Its  economy  is  particularly  sensitive  to  oil  and  gas  prices.  The  tax, 
currency  and  customs  legislation  continue  to  develop  and  are  subject  to  frequent  changes  and  varying 
interpretations.  The  Russian  economy  showed  signs  of  recovery  in  2017,  after  the  economic  downturn  of 
2015 and 2016. The economy is negatively impacted by low oil prices, ongoing political tension in the region 
and  continuing  international  sanctions  against  certain  Russian  companies  and  individuals.  The financial 
markets continue to be volatile. 

This  economic  environment  has  a  significant  impact  on  the  Group’s  operations  and  financial  position. 
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 management’s current expectations 
and estimates could differ from actual results. 

Relations with the Government and current regulation. As at 31 December 2017 the Russian Federation 
owned 60.56 percent of the total voting ordinary shares of the Company (31 December 2016: 66.84 percent). 
The  Russian  Federation’s  participatory interest in  the Company’s  equity  decreased  following  the  additional 
issue of shares in favour of PJSC Bank VTB that is also controlled by the Russian Federation (Note 15).  As 
at 31 December 2017, PJSC Bank VTB owned 13.34 percent of the Company’s shares. 

The  Group’s  major  customer  base  includes  a  large  number  of  entities  controlled  by,  or  related  to  the 
Government. Furthermore, the Government controls contractors and suppliers, which provide the Group with 
electricity  dispatch,  transmission  and  distribution  services,  and  a  number  of  the  Group’s  fuel  and  other 
suppliers (Note 6). 

In addition, the Government influences the Group’s operations through: 
 
 
 

participation of its representatives in the Company’s Board of Directors; 
regulation of tariffs for electricity, capacity and heating;  
approval  and  monitoring  of  the  Group’s  investment  programme,  including  volume  and  sources  of 
financing. 

Economic, social and other policies of the Russian Government could have a material effect on operations of 
the Group. 

Overview of the electricity and capacity market. In 2017 the following significant changes were made to 
the  rules  of  electricity  and  capacity  wholesale  and  retail  markets,  their  operation  procedures  and  pricing 
mechanisms: 

  Russian  Government  Resolution  No.  895  “On  achievement  of  basic  rates  (tariffs)  for  electric  power 
(capacity)  in  the  territories  of  the  Far  East  Federal  region”  provides  for  a  premium  to  the  price  of 
capacity sold by the Company in the price zones for the wholesale electricity and capacity market, with 
subsequent transfer of the amounts collected to the constituent budgets of the Far East Federal region 
in the form of free-of-charge targeted contributions (Note 2).  

 

Federal  Law  No.451-FZ  of  29  December  2017  establishes  the  obligation  to  carry  out  electricity  sales 
activity only on the basis of relevant licenses, and the administrative responsibility for violating license 
terms or performing electricity sales without a license.    

  Russian Government Resolution No. 624 of 24 May 2017 introduced changes to the Rules for full and 
(or)  partial  limitation  of  electricity  consumption  that  make  implementation  of  power  supply  limitation 
much easier and provide an option of imposing a full limitation of power consumption on so called ‘non-
disconnectable’ consumers.    

  Russian Government Resolution No. 863 of 21 July 2017 establishes the regulator’s duty to set up sales 
mark-ups  for  guaranteeing  suppliers  using  a method  of compared  analogues  (the  method  of  standard 
costs).  The  Guidelines  for  Calculating  Guaranteeing  Suppliers'  Sales  Markup  were  approved  by  FAS 
Order No.1554/17 of 21 November 2017.  

8 

 
RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

  Under Russian Government Resolution No.1365 of 11 November 2017, a guaranteeing supplier can be 

deprived of this status because of its debts to grid companies.  

 

Federal  Law  No.  279-FZ  of  29  July  2017  introduces  changes  to  the  Federal  Law  “On  Heat  Supply”. 
These changes allow to include cities and districts into heat supply price zones in which prices for heat 
(capacity)  provided  to  consumers  by  a  single  heat  supplier  are  capped  by  the  maximum  level  of  heat 
(capacity)  prices  for  consumers  (the  Law  “On  Alternative  Boiler  Plant“).  In  the  maximum  price  level 
framework, a single heat supplier provides heat energy (capacity) to its consumers at prices agreed by 
the parties.  

 

The Rules of establishing maximum price levels for heat (capacity) in these price zones were approved 
on 15 December 2017 under Russian Government Resolution No.1562.  

Note 2. 

Summary of significant accounting policies 

Basis  of  preparation.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with 
IFRS under the historical cost convention, as modified by the financial instruments initially recognised at fair 
value,  revaluation  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  available-for-sale  financial  assets.  The  principal 
accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. 
These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. 

Each  company  of  the  Group  individually  maintains  its  own  books  of  accounts  and  prepares  its  statutory 
financial statements in accordance with Russian standards of accounting (hereinafter referred to as “RSA”). 
These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  based  on  the  statutory  records  with  adjustments  and 
reclassifications made for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with IFRS. 

Functional and presentation currency. The functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries, and 
the presentation currency for these consolidated financial statements is the national currency of the Russian 
Federation, the Russian Ruble. 
Foreign  currency  translation.  Monetary  assets  and  liabilities,  which  are  held  by  the  Group’s  entities  and 
denominated in foreign currencies at the end  of the reporting period, are translated into Russian Rubles at 
the exchange rates prevailing at that date. Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange 
rates  prevailing  at  the  date  of  the  transaction.  Gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  such 
transactions  and  translation  of  monetary  assets  and  liabilities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  are 
recognised in the consolidated income statement. 

As  at  31  December  2017,  the  official  rate  of  exchange,  as  determined  by  the  Central  Bank  of the  Russian 
Federation,  between  Russian  Ruble  and  US  Dollar  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  “USD”)  was  RR 57.60: 
USD 1.00  (31  December  2016:  RR 60.66: USD 1.00),  between  Russian  Ruble  and  Euro  was  RR 68.87: 
EUR 1.00 (31 December 2016: RR 63.81: EUR 1.00). 

Consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are those investees, including structured entities, that the 
Group controls because the Group (i) has power to direct relevant activities of the investees that significantly 
affect  their  returns,  (ii)  has  exposure,  or  rights,  to  variable  returns  from  its  involvement  with  the  investees, 
and (iii) has the ability to use its power over the investees to affect the amount of investor’s returns. 

The  existence  and  effect  of  substantive  rights,  including  substantive  potential voting  rights,  are  considered 
when assessing whether the Group has power over another entity. For a right to be substantive, the holder 
must have practical ability to exercise that right when decisions about the direction of the relevant activities of 
the investee need to be made. The Group may have power over an investee even when it holds less than 
majority  of  voting  power  in  an  investee.  In  such  a  case,  the  Group  assesses  the  size  of  its  voting  rights 
relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders to determine if it has de-facto power 
over the investee. Protective rights of other investors, such as those that relate to fundamental changes of 
investee’s activities or apply only in exceptional circumstances, do not prevent the Group from controlling an 
investee.  Subsidiaries  are  consolidated  from  the  date  on  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  Group 
(acquisition date) and are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.  

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries other than those 
acquired  from  parties  under  common  control.  Identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  and  contingent 
liabilities  assumed  in  a  business  combination  are  measured  at  their  fair  values  at  the  acquisition  date, 
irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest.  

The  Group  measures  non-controlling  interest  that  represents  present  ownership  interest  and  entitles  the 
holder to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation on a transaction by transaction basis, 
either at: (a) fair value, or (b) the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of net assets of the acquiree.

Goodwill  is measured  by  deducting the  net  assets  of  the  acquiree from  the  aggregate  of the  consideration 
transferred for  the  acquiree,  the  amount  of  non-controlling interest  in  the  acquiree  and  the fair value  of  an 
interest  in  the  acquiree  held  immediately  before  the  acquisition  date.  Any  negative  amount  (“negative 
goodwill”  or  a  “bargain  purchase”)  is  recognised  in  profit  or loss,  after management  reassesses  whether  it 
identified  all  the  assets  acquired  and  all  the  liabilities  and  contingent  liabilities  assumed  and  reviews  the 
appropriateness of their measurement. 

The  consideration  transferred for  the  acquiree  is  measured  at  the  fair value  of  the  assets  given  up,  equity 
instruments  issued  and  liabilities  incurred  or  assumed,  including  fair  value  of  assets  or  liabilities  from 
contingent  consideration  arrangements  but  excludes  acquisition  related  costs  such  as  advisory,  legal, 
valuation  and  similar  professional  services.  Transaction  costs  related  to  the  acquisition  and  incurred  for 
issuing equity instruments are deducted from equity; transaction costs incurred for issuing debt as part of the 
business  combination  are  deducted  from  the  carrying  amount  of  the  debt  and  all  other  transaction  costs 
associated with the acquisition are expensed. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the Group’s entities are 
eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the cost cannot be recovered. The Company and all 
of its subsidiaries use uniform accounting policies consistent with the Group’s policies. 

Non-controlling interest is that part of the net results and of the equity of a subsidiary attributable to interests 
which  are  not  owned,  directly  or  indirectly,  by  the  Company.  Non-controlling  interest  forms  a  separate 
component of the Group’s equity.  

Purchases  and  sales  of  non-controlling  interests.  The  Group  applies  the  economic  entity  model  to 
account  for  transactions  with  owners  of  non-controlling  interest,  that  do  not  result  in  a  loss  of  control.  Any 
difference between the purchase consideration and the carrying amount of non-controlling interest acquired 
is  recorded  as  a  capital  transaction  directly  in  equity.  The  Group  recognises  the  difference  between  sales 
consideration  and  the  carrying  amount  of  non-controlling  interest  sold  as  a  capital  transaction  in  the 
statement of changes in equity. 

Acquisition of subsidiaries from parties under common control. Acquisitions of subsidiaries from parties 
under  common  control  are  accounted  for  using  the  predecessor  values  method.  Under  this  method  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  combined  entity  are  presented  as  if  the  businesses  had  been 
combined from the beginning of the earliest period presented or the date when the combining entities were 
first  brought  under  common  control  if  later.  The  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary  transferred  under 
common control are at the predecessor entity’s carrying amounts. The predecessor entity is considered to be 
the  highest  reporting  entity  in  which  the  subsidiary’s  IFRS  financial  information  was  consolidated.  Related 
goodwill  inherent  in  the  predecessor  entity’s  original  acquisitions  is  also  recorded  in  these  consolidated 
financial  statements.  Any  difference  between  the  carrying  amount  of  net  assets,  including  the  predecessor 
entity’s  goodwill,  and  the  consideration  for  the  acquisition  is  accounted  for  in  these  consolidated  financial 
statements as an adjustment to merger reserve within equity. Under this method the consolidated financial 
statements of the combined entity are presented as if the businesses had been combined from the beginning 
of the earliest period presented, i.e. retrospectively except for acquisition of subsidiaries acquired exclusively 
with  a  view  for  resale  which  are  accounted  for  using  predecessor  values  method  prospectively  from  the 
acquisition date.  

Investments in associates and joint ventures. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted 
for  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting,  based  upon  the  percentage  of  ownership  held  by  the  Group. 
Associates  are  entities  over  which  the  Company  has  significant  influence  but  not  control,  generally 
accompanying a shareholding of between 20 and 50 percent of the voting rights. Investments in associates 
are  accounted  for  using  the  equity  method  of  accounting  and  are  initially  recognised  at  cost.  Dividends 
received from  associates  reduce  the  carrying value  of  the  investment  in  associates.  Other  post-acquisition 
changes in the Group’s share of net assets of an associate are recognised as follows: (i) the Group’s share 
of profits or losses of associates is recorded in the consolidated profit or loss for the year as profit or loss in 
respect of associates and joint ventures, (ii) the Group’s share of other comprehensive income is recognised 
in other comprehensive income and presented separately, and (iii) all other changes in the Group’s share of 
the  carrying  value  of  net  assets  of  associates  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  within  the  profit  or  loss  in 
respect of associates and joint ventures.  

However, when the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, 
including  any  other  unsecured  receivables,  the  Group  does  not  recognise  further  losses,  unless  it  has 
incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

A  joint venture is  a  joint  arrangement  whereby  the  parties  that  have  joint  control  of  the  arrangement  have 
rights  to  the  net  assets  of  the  arrangement.  Joint  control  is  defined  by  the  making  of  decisions  about  the 
relevant activities requiring the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date on which it ceases to have joint control 
over, or have significant influence on joint ventures and associates. 

Unrealised  gains  on  transactions  with  associates  and  joint  ventures  are  eliminated  to  the  extent  of  the 
Group’s interest in the entity, unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence 
of an impairment of the asset transferred. 
Disposals  of  subsidiaries,  associates  or  joint  ventures.  When  the  Group  ceases  to  have  control  or 
significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in the 
carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of 
subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, 
any  amounts  previously  recognised  in  other  comprehensive income in  respect  of  that  entity  are  accounted 
for  as  if  the  Group  had  directly  disposed  of  the  related  assets  or  liabilities.  This  may  mean  that  amounts 
previously recognised in other comprehensive income are recycled to profit or loss.  

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate 
share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss 
where appropriate. 

Property,  plant  and  equipment.  Property,  plant  and  equipment  in  the  statement  of  financial  position 
includes  assets  under  construction  for  future  use  as  property,  plant  and  equipment.  Property,  plant  and 
equipment  except  for  office  buildings,  land  and  assets  under  construction  are  stated  at  revalued  amounts 
less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment (where required). Office buildings owned by the 
Group  are  stated  at  historical  cost  less  accumulated  depreciation  and  accumulated  impairment;  land  and 
assets under construction are stated at historical cost less accumulated impairment.  

Property, plant and equipment except for office buildings, land and assets under construction are subject to 
revaluation  with  sufficient  regularity  to  ensure  that  the  carrying  amount  does  not  differ materially from  that 
which  would  be  determined  using  fair  value  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  Increases  in  the  carrying 
amount  arising  on  revaluation  are  credited  to  other  comprehensive  income  and  increase  the  revaluation 
surplus  in  equity.  Decreases  that  offset  previous  increases  of  the  same  asset  are  recognised  in  other 
comprehensive  income  and  decrease  the  previously  recognised  revaluation  surplus  in  equity;  all  other 
decreases are charged to profit or loss for the year. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation 
is eliminated against the gross amount of the asset. 

The  revaluation  surplus  included  in  equity  is  transferred  directly  to  retained  earnings  when  the  revaluation 
surplus is realised on disposal of the asset. 

The Group charges deferred tax liabilities in respect of revaluation of property, plant and equipment directly 
to other comprehensive income.  

Subsequent  costs  are  included  in  the  asset’s  carrying  amount  or  recognised  as  a  separate  asset,  as 
appropriate, only when it is highly probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to 
the  Group  and  the  cost  of  the  item  can  be  measured  reliably.  Costs  of  minor  repairs  and  day-to-day 
maintenance  are  expensed  when  incurred.  Cost  of  replacing major  parts  or  components  of  property,  plant 
and equipment items are capitalised and the replaced part is retired. 

Social assets are not capitalised if they are not expected to result in future economic benefits to the Group. 
Costs associated with fulfilling the Group’s social responsibilities are expensed as incurred. 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are 
recognised in profit or loss for the year. 

Depreciation.  Depreciation  on  items  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  (except  for  land  and  assets  under 
construction) is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. 

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are subject to annual assessment by management and if 
expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes of useful lives are accounted for as a change in an 
accounting estimate prospectively.  

11 

 
RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

The average useful lives of property, plant and equipment by type of facility, in years, were as follows: 

Type of facility 
Production buildings 
Facilities 
Plant and equipment 
Other 

Average useful lives 
25–80 
10–100 
5–40 
3–30 

Depreciation  is  charged  once  an  asset  is  available  for  use.  Land  and  assets  under  construction  are  not 
depreciated. 

Impairment of property, plant and equipment. Impairment reviews for property, plant and equipment are 
carried out when there is an indication that impairment may have occurred, or where it is otherwise required 
to  ensure  that  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  not  carried  above  their  estimated  recoverable  amounts 
(Note  7).  If  such  indication  exists,  management  estimates  the  recoverable  amount  which  is  determined  as 
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Fair value less costs of disposal 
represents the amount that can be generated through the sale of assets. Value in use represents the present 
value of expected future cash flows discounted on a pre-tax basis, using the estimated cost of capital of the 
cash-generating unit.  

The  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  is  reduced  to  the  recoverable  amount  and  the  impairment  loss  is 
recognised in profit or loss for the year to the extent it exceeds the previous revaluation surplus in equity. An 
impairment  loss  recognised  for  an  asset  in  prior  years  is  reversed  where  appropriate  if  there  has  been  a 
positive  change  in  the  estimates  used  to  determine  the  asset’s  value  in  use  or  fair  value  less  costs  of 
disposal. 

Intangible assets and goodwill. The Group’s intangible assets other than goodwill have definite useful lives 
and  primarily include  capitalised  computer  software.  Intangible  assets  are  amortised  using  the  straight-line 
method  over  their  useful  lives.  If  impaired,  the  carrying  amount  of  intangible  assets  is  written  down  to  the 
higher  of  value  in  use  and  fair  value  less  costs  of  disposal.  Goodwill  is  carried  at  cost  less  accumulated 
impairment losses, if any. The Group tests goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever there are 
indications  that  goodwill  may  be  impaired.  Goodwill  is  allocated  to  the  cash-generating  units,  or  groups  of 
cash-generating  units,  that  are  expected  to  benefit  from  the  synergies  of  the  business  combination.  Such 
units or groups  of units represent the lowest level at which the Group monitors goodwill and are not larger 
than an operating segment.  

Gains  or  losses  on  disposal  of  an  operation  within  a  cash  generating  unit  to  which  goodwill  has  been 
allocated  include  the  carrying  amount  of  goodwill  associated  with  the  operation  disposed  of,  generally 
measured  on  the  basis  of  the  relative  values  of  the  operation  disposed  of  and  the  portion  of  the  cash-
generating unit which is retained. 

Financial instruments – key measurement terms.  Depending on their classification financial instruments 
are carried at fair value or amortised cost as described below. 

Fair  value  is  the  price  that  would  be  received  to  sell  an  asset  or  paid  to  transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The best evidence of fair value is price in 
an  active  market.  An  active  market  is  one  in  which  transactions  for  the  asset  or  liability  take  place  with 
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  

Valuation  techniques  such  as  discounted  cash  flow  models  or  models  based  on  recent  arm’s  length 
transactions  or  consideration  of  financial  data  of  the  investees  are  used  to  measure  fair  value  of  certain 
financial  instruments  for  which  external  market  pricing  information  is  not  available.  The  Group  uses  such 
valuation  techniques  of  fair  value  which  are  the  most  acceptable  in  the  circumstances  and  as  much  as 
possible use the observable basic data. 

Fair value measurements are analysed by level in the fair value hierarchy as follows: 

 

 

 

level 1 are measurements at quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 

level  2  measurements  are  valuations  techniques  with  all  material  inputs  observable  for  the  asset  or 
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices); 

level  3  measurements  are  valuations  not  based  on  solely  observable  market  data  (that  is,  the 
measurement requires significant unobservable inputs). 

For  disclosure  of  information  on  fair  value  the  Group  classified  assets  and  liabilities  on  the  basis  of  an 
appropriate level of hierarchy of fair value as it is stated above (Note 32).

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a 
financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not 
taken place. Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisors, brokers and dealers, 
levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do 
not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs. 

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognised at initial recognition less any 
principal  repayments,  plus  accrued  interest,  and  for  financial  assets  less  any  write-down  for  incurred 
impairment losses. Accrued interest includes amortisation of transaction costs deferred at initial recognition 
and  of  any  premium  or  discount  to  maturity  amount  using  the  effective  interest  method.  Accrued  interest 
income  and  accrued  interest  expense,  including  both  accrued  coupon  and  amortised  discount  or  premium 
(including fees deferred at origination, if any), are not presented separately and are included in the carrying 
values of related items in the statement of financial position. 

The effective interest method is a method of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant 
period, so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest (effective interest rate) on the carrying amount. 
The  effective  interest  rate  is  the  rate  that  exactly  discounts  estimated  future  cash  payments  or  receipts 
(excluding  future  credit  losses)  through  the  expected  life  of  the  financial  instrument  or  a  shorter  period,  if 
appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial instrument. The effective interest rate discounts cash 
flows of variable interest instruments to the next interest repricing date, except for the premium or discount 
which reflects the credit spread over the floating rate specified in the instrument, or other variables that are 
not  reset  to  market  rates.  Such  premiums  or  discounts  are  amortised  over  the  whole  expected  life  of  the 
instrument. The present value calculation includes all fees paid or received between parties to the contract 
that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. 

Classification of financial assets. Financial assets have the following categories: (i) loans and receivables; 
(ii)  available-for-sale  financial  assets;  (iii)  financial  assets  held  to  maturity  and  (iv)  financial  assets  at  fair 
value through profit or loss. The description of categories of financial assets of the Group is given below. 

Loans and receivables are unquoted non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments.  

Financial  assets  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss.  This  category  is  presented  by  derivative  financial 
instruments  which  are  carried  at  their  fair value.  All  derivative  instruments  are  carried  as  assets  when  fair 
value  is  positive  and  as  liabilities  when  fair  value  is  negative.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivative 
instruments are included in profit or loss for the year. The Group does not apply hedge accounting. 

All other financial assets are included in the available-for-sale category, which includes investment securities 
which the Group intends to hold for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs 
for liquidity or changes in interest rates, exchange rates or equity prices. 

Classification  of  financial  liabilities.  Financial  liabilities  have  the  following  measurement  categories: 
(i) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and (ii) other financial liabilities. All financial liabilities 
of the Group including loans are categorised as other and carried at amortized cost. 

Initial  recognition  of  financial  instruments.  Trading  investments,  derivatives  and  other  financial 
instruments  at  fair  value  through  profit  or  loss  are  initially  recorded  at  fair  value.  All  other  financial 
instruments are initially recorded at fair value plus transaction costs. Fair value at initial recognition is best 
evidenced by the transaction price. A gain or loss on initial recognition is only recorded if there is a difference 
between  fair  value  and  transaction  price  which  can  be  evidenced  by  other  observable  current  market 
transactions  in  the  same  instrument  or  by  a  valuation  technique  whose  inputs  include  only  data  from 
observable markets. 

Derecognition  of  financial  assets.  The  Group  derecognises  financial  assets  when  (a)  the  assets  are 
redeemed or the rights to cash flows from the assets otherwise expire or (b) the Group has transferred the 
rights to the cash flows from the financial assets or entered into a qualifying pass-through arrangement whilst 
(i)  also  transferring  substantially  all  the  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership  of  the  assets  or  (ii)  neither 
transferring nor retaining substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership but not retaining control.  

Control is retained if the counterparty does not have the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an 
unrelated third party without needing to impose additional restrictions on the sale. 

Available-for-sale  financial  assets.  Available-for-sale  financial  assets  are  carried  at  fair  value.  Interest 
income on available-for-sale debt securities is calculated using the effective interest method and recognised 
in  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  as  finance  income.  Dividends  on  available-for-sale  equity  instruments  are 
recognised  in  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  as  finance  income  when  the  Group’s  right  to  receive  payment  is 

13

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended

(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

established  and  it is  probable  that  the  dividends  will  be  collected.  All  other  elements  of changes  in  the fair 
value  are  recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  until  the  investment  is  derecognised  or  impaired  at 
which time the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income to finance income in 
profit or loss for the year. 

Impairment  losses  on  available-for-sale  investments  are  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  when 
incurred  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  events  (“loss  events”)  that  occurred  after  the  initial  recognition  of 
available-for-sale  financial  assets.  A significant  or  prolonged  decline  in  the  fair  value  of  an  equity  security 
below its cost is an indicator that it is impaired. The cumulative impairment loss – measured as the difference 
between  the  acquisition  cost  and  the  current  fair  value,  less  any  impairment  loss  on  that  asset  previously 
recognised in profit or loss – is reclassified from other comprehensive income to finance costs in profit or loss 
for the year.  

Impairment losses on equity instruments are not reversed and any subsequent gains are recognised in other 
comprehensive income. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument classified as available 
for sale increases and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss 
was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed through current period’s profit or loss. 

Cash  and  cash  equivalents.  Cash  and  cash  equivalents  include  cash  in  hand,  deposits  held  at  call  with 
banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash 
and cash equivalents are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective 
interest method. 

Impairment  of  financial  assets  carried  at  amortised  cost.  Impairment  losses  are  recognised  in  profit  or 
loss when incurred as a result of one or more events (“loss events”) that occurred after the initial recognition 
of the financial asset and which have an impact on the amount or timing of the estimated future cash flows of 
the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. If the Group determines that no 
objective evidence exists that impairment was incurred for an individually assessed financial asset, whether 
significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and 
collectively  assesses  them  for  impairment.  The  primary  factors  that  the  Group  considers  in  determining 
whether a financial asset is impaired are its overdue status and realisability of related collateral, if any. The 
following  other  principal  criteria  are  also  used  to  determine  whether  there  is  objective  evidence  that  an 
impairment  loss  has  occurred:  (i)  any  portion  or  instalment  is  overdue  and  the  late  payment  cannot  be 
attributed  to  a  delay  caused  by  the  settlement  systems;  (ii)  the  counterparty  experiences  a  significant 
financial  difficulty  as  evidenced  by  its  financial  information  that  the  Group  obtains;  (iii)  the  counterparty 
considers bankruptcy or a financial reorganisation; (iv) there is adverse change in the payment status of the 
counterparty as a result of changes in the national or local economic conditions that impact the counterparty; 
or (v) the value of collateral, if any, significantly decreases as a result of deteriorating market conditions. 

If  the  terms  of  an  impaired  financial  asset  held  at  amortised  cost  are  renegotiated  or  otherwise  modified 
because  of  financial  difficulties  of  the  counterparty,  impairment  is  measured  using  the  original  effective 
interest rate before the modification of terms. The renegotiated asset is then derecognised and a new asset 
is recognised at its fair value only if the risks and rewards of the asset substantially changed. This is normally 
evidenced  by  a  substantial  difference  between  the  present  values  of  the  original  cash  flows  and  the  new 
expected cash flows. 

Impairment losses are  always recognised through  an  allowance account to  write down the asset’s carrying 
amount to the present value of expected cash flows (which exclude future credit losses that have not been 
incurred) discounted at the original effective interest rate of the asset. If, in a subsequent period, the amount 
of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the 
impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the previously recognised 
impairment loss is reversed by adjusting the allowance account through profit or loss for the year. 

Uncollectible  assets  are  written  off  against  the  related  impairment  loss  provision  after  all  the  necessary 
procedures  to  recover  the  asset  have  been  completed  and  the  amount  of  the  loss  has  been  determined. 
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the impairment loss account  within 
the profit or loss for the year. 

Prepayments. Prepayments are carried at cost less provision for impairment. A prepayment is classified as 
non-current  when  the  goods  or  services  relating  to  the  prepayment  are  expected  to  be  obtained  after  one 
year,  or  when  the  prepayment  relates  to  an  asset  which  will  itself  be  classified  as  non-current  upon  initial 
recognition.  Prepayments  to  acquire  assets  are  transferred  to  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  once  the 

14 

 
RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended

(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

Group  has  obtained  control  of the  asset  and  it  is  highly  probable  that future  economic  benefits  associated 
with the asset  will flow to the Group. Other prepayments are  written off to profit or loss  when the goods or 
services relating to the prepayments are received. If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services 
relating  to  a  prepayment  will  not  be  received,  the  carrying  value  of  the  prepayment  is  written  down 
accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss for the year. 

Inventories.  Inventories  are  recorded  at  the  lower  of cost  and  net  realisable value.  Net  realisable value  is 
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less selling expenses. Cost of inventory that is 
expensed is determined on the weighted average basis. 

Income  taxes.  Income  taxes  have  been  provided  for  in  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with 
legislation  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  by  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  The  income  tax  charge 
comprises  current  tax  and  deferred  tax  and  is  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  for  the  year  except  if  it  is 
recognised  in  other  comprehensive  income  or  directly  in  equity  because  it  relates  to  transactions  that  are 
also recognised, in the same or a different period, in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.  

Current  tax is  the  amount  expected  to  be  paid  to,  or  recovered from,  the  taxation  authorities  in  respect  of 
taxable  profits  or losses  for the  current  and  prior  periods.  Taxes  other  than  on income  are  recorded  within 
operating expenses. Taxable profits or losses are based on estimates if financial statements are authorised 
prior to filing relevant tax returns. 

Deferred  income  tax  is  provided  using  the  balance  sheet  liability  method  for  tax  loss  carry  forwards  and 
temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for 
financial  reporting  purposes.  In  accordance  with  the  initial  recognition  exemption,  deferred  taxes  are  not 
recorded for temporary differences on initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a 
business combination if the transaction, when initially recorded, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. 
Deferred  tax  liabilities  are  not  recorded  for  temporary  differences  on  initial  recognition  of  goodwill  and 
subsequently for goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax balances are measured at 
tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period which are expected to apply to 
the period when the temporary differences will reverse or the tax loss carry forwards will be utilised.  

Deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards are recorded only to the 
extent that it is highly probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient 
future taxable profit available against which the deductions can be utilised. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current 
tax  assets  against  current  tax  liabilities  and  when  the  deferred income  taxes  assets  and  liabilities  relate  to 
income  taxes  levied  by  the  same  taxation  authority  on  either  the  same  taxable  entity  or  different  taxable 
entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 
are netted only within the individual companies of the Group. 

The  Group  controls  the  reversal  of  temporary  differences  relating  to  taxes  chargeable  on  dividends  from 
subsidiaries or on gains upon their disposal. The Group does not recognise deferred tax liabilities on such 
temporary differences except to the extent that management expects the temporary differences to reverse in 
the foreseeable future. 
Uncertain tax positions. The Group's uncertain tax positions are reassessed by management at the end of 
each reporting period. Liabilities are recorded for income tax positions that are determined by management as 
more likely than not to result in additional taxes being levied if the positions were to be challenged by the tax 
authorities. The assessment is based on the interpretation of tax laws that have been enacted or substantively 
enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any known court or other rulings on such issues. Liabilities for 
penalties, interest and taxes other than on income are recognised based on management’s best estimate of the 
expenditure  required  to  settle  the  obligations  at  the  end  of  the  reporting  period.  Adjustments  for  uncertain 
income tax positions are recorded within the income tax charge. 
Debt. Debt is recognised initially at its fair value, less  transaction costs. Fair value is determined using the 
prevailing market rate of interest for a similar instrument, if significantly different from the transaction price. In 
subsequent  periods,  debt  is  stated  at  amortised  cost  using  the  effective  interest  method;  any  difference 
between the fair value of the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in 
the consolidated income statement as an interest expense over the period of the debt obligation. 

Capitalisation of borrowing costs. Borrowing costs  directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or 
production of assets that necessarily take a substantial time to get ready for intended use or sale (qualifying 
assets) are capitalised as part of the costs of those assets, if the commencement date for capitalisation is on 
or after 1 January 2009.  

15 

 
RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

The commencement date for capitalisation is when (i) the Group incurs expenditures for the qualifying asset; 
(ii) it  incurs  borrowing  costs;  and  (iii) it  undertakes  activities  that  are  necessary  to  prepare  the  asset  for  its 
intended use or sale. 

Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues  up to the  date when the assets are  substantially ready for their 
use or sale. The Group capitalises borrowing costs that could have been avoided if it had not made capital 
expenditure on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs capitalised are calculated at the group’s average funding 
cost  (the  weighted  average interest  cost  is  applied  to the  expenditures  on  the  qualifying  assets),  except to 
the  extent  that  funds  are  borrowed  specifically  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  a  qualifying  asset.  Where  this 
occurs,  actual  borrowing  costs  incurred  less  any  investment income  on  the  temporary  investment  of those 
borrowings are capitalised.  

Interest payments capitalised as part of the cost of an assets are classified as cash outflows from financing 
activities in Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. 

Employee  benefits.  Wages,  salaries,  contributions  to  the  Russian  Federation  state  pension  and  social 
insurance  funds,  paid  annual  leave  and  sick  leave,  bonuses,  and  non-monetary  benefits  (such  as  health 
services)  are  accrued  in  the  year  in  which  the  associated  services  are  rendered  by  the  employees  of  the 
Group. 

Defined  benefit  plans.  The  Group  operates  defined  benefit  plans  that  cover  the  majority  of  its  employees. 
Defined  benefit  plans  define  the  amount  of  pension  benefit  that  an  employee  will  receive  on  retirement, 
usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service, minimum tariff rate of remuneration 
and others.  

The net liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans 
operated by the Group is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period 
less fair value of plan assets. 

The defined benefit obligations are calculated by independent actuary using the projected unit credit method. 
The present value of the defined benefit obligations are determined by discounting the estimated future cash 
outflows using interest rates of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits 
will  be  paid  associated  with  the  operation  of  the  plans,  and  that  have  terms  to  maturity  approximating  the 
terms of the related pension liabilities.  

Actuarial gains and losses arising from remeasurement of pension benefit obligations are recognised in other 
comprehensive  income.  Past  service  cost  is  immediately  recognised  in  profit  or  loss  within  operating 
expenses. 

Defined contribution plans. For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions and has no further 
payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee 
benefit expense when they are due. In the normal course of business the Group contributes to the Russian 
Federation defined contribution state pension scheme on behalf of its employees. Mandatory contributions to 
the governmental pension scheme are expensed when incurred and included in employee benefit expenses 
and payroll taxes in the consolidated income statement.  

Other  post-employment  benefit  obligations.  The  Group  pays  a  one-off  financial  aid  on  occasion  of  an 
employee's jubilee. The amount of the benefit depends on one  or more factors, such as the  age, length of 
service in the company, salary and others. 

For the purpose of calculating benefit obligations of these types, actuarial gains and losses arising as a result 
of adjustments or changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised  within profit or loss in the consolidated 
statement of income in the period when they arise. All other aspects of accounting for these obligations are 
similar to those of accounting for defined benefit obligations. 

Finance lease liabilities. Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which transferred substantially all the risks 
and  rewards  incidental  to  ownership  to  the  Group, the  assets  leased  are  capitalised  in  property,  plant  and 
equipment  at  the  commencement  of  the  lease  at  the  lower  of  the  fair  value  of  the  leased  asset  and  the 
present  value  of  the  minimum  lease  payments.  Each  lease  payment  is  allocated  between  the  liability  and 
finance  charges  so  as  to  achieve  a  constant  rate  on  the  finance  balance  outstanding.  The  corresponding 
rental obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in borrowings. The interest cost is charged to 
profit  or loss  over  the lease  period  using  the  effective  interest method.  The  assets  acquired  under  finance 
leases are depreciated over their useful life or the shorter lease term if the Group is not reasonably certain 
that it will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

Operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which does not transfer substantially all the risks 
and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor to the Group, the total lease payments are charged to 
profit or loss for the year on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term is the non-cancellable 
period for which the lessee has contracted to lease the asset together  with any further terms for which the 
lessee has the option to continue to lease the asset, with or without further payment, when at the inception of 
the lease it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option. 

When  assets  are  leased  out  under  an  operating  lease,  the  lease  payments  receivable  are  recognised  as 
rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

Environmental  liabilities.  Liabilities  for  environmental  remediation  are  recorded  where  there  is  a  present 
obligation, the payment is highly probable and reliable estimates exist. 

Revenue recognition. Revenue is recognised on the  delivery of electricity and heat, provision of capacity, 
supply  of  services  and  on  the  dispatch  of  goods  during  the  period.  Revenue  from  retail  operations  is 
recognised on delivery of electricity and heat to the customer. Revenue amounts are presented exclusive of 
value added tax.  

Revenue  transactions  under  free  bilateral  contracts  are  shown  net  of  related  purchases  of  equivalent 
electricity  volumes  which  the  market  participant  is  obliged  to  make  in  accordance  with  the  industry 
regulations.  For  the  year  ended  31 December  2017  additional  resale  turnover  in  the  amount  of  RR  244 
million was  shown net for presentation purposes to reflect the economic substance of transactions. For the 
year ended 31 December 2016 there was no additional turnover. 

Government  grants.  Grants  from  the  government  are  recognised  at  their  fair  value  where  there  is  a 
reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. 
Government  grants  relating  to  the  purchase  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  included  in  non-current 
liabilities as deferred income and are credited to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the expected lives 
of the related assets. Government grants are included in cash flows from operating activities.  

Earnings  per  share.  The  earnings  per  share  are  determined  by  dividing  the  profit  attributable  to  ordinary 
shareholders  of  the  Company  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  ordinary  shares  outstanding  during  the 
reporting period, excluding the average number of treasury shares held by the Group. 
Share  capital.  Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issue  of  new  shares  or  options  are  shown  in 
equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Any excess of the placement value over the par value of 
shares issued is recorded as share premium in equity. 

Treasury  shares. Where the Company or its subsidiaries purchase the Company’s equity instruments, the 
consideration  paid,  including  any  directly  attributable  incremental  costs,  net  of  income  taxes,  is  deducted 
from  equity  attributable  to  the  Company’s  owners  until  the  equity instruments  are  reissued,  disposed  of  or 
cancelled. In case the consideration paid is non-cash asset, the treasury shares received are recognised at 
the  fair  value  of  this  asset.  Where  such  shares  are  subsequently  sold  or  reissued,  any  consideration 
received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is 
included in equity attributable to the Company’s owners. 

Dividends.  Dividends  are  recorded  as  a  liability  and  deducted  from  equity in  the  period  in  which  they  are 
declared  and  approved.  Any  dividends  declared  after  the  reporting  period  and  before  the  financial 
statements are authorised for issue are disclosed in the subsequent events note. 
Provisions  for  liabilities  and  charges.  Provisions  for  liabilities  and  charges  are  non-financial liabilities  of 
uncertain timing of amount. They are accrued when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation 
as  a  result  of  past  events,  it is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  embodying  economic  benefits will  be 
required  to  settle  the  obligation,  and  a  reliable  estimate  of  the  amount  of  the  obligation  can  be  made. 
Provisions  are  measured  at  the  present  value  of  the  expenditures  expected  to  be  required  to  settle  the 
obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the 
risks  specific  to  the  obligation.  The  increase  in  the  provision  due  to  passage  of  time  is  recognised  as  an 
interest expense. 

Levies and charges, such as taxes other than income tax or regulatory fees based on information related to a 
period before the obligation to pay arises, are recognised  as liabilities when the obligating event that gives 
rise to pay a levy occurs, as identified by the legislation that triggers the obligation to pay the levy. If a levy is 
paid before the obligating event, it is recognised as a prepayment. 
Social  expenditure.  To  the  extent  that  the  Group’s  contributions  to  social  programmes  benefit  the 
community at large without creating constructive obligations to provide such benefits in the future and are not 
restricted to the Group’s employees, they are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

Financial  guarantees.  Financial  guarantees  are  irrevocable  contracts  that  require  the  Group  to  make 
specified payments to reimburse the holder of the guarantee for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor 
fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are 
initially  recognised  at  their  fair  value,  which  is  normally  evidenced  by  the  amount  of  fees  received.  This 
amount  is  amortised  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  life  of  the  guarantee.  At  the  end  of  each  reporting 
period, the guarantees are measured at the higher of (i) the remaining unamortised balance of the amount at 
initial recognition, and (ii) the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the 
reporting period. 

Segment  reporting.  Segments  are  reported  in  a manner  consistent  with  the  internal  reporting  provided to 
the  Group’s  chief  operating  decision maker.  Segments  whose  revenue,  result  or  assets  are  ten  percent  or 
more of all the segments are reported separately. 
Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies 

The  Group  makes  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  recognised  in  the  Consolidated 
Financial  Statements  and  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  within  the  next  financial  year. 
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other 
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 
Management  also  makes  certain  judgments,  apart  from  those  involving  estimations,  in  the  process  of 
applying the accounting policies. Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised 
in  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  estimates  that  can  cause  a  significant  adjustment  to  the 
carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include: 

Sale  of  shares  subject  to  entering  into  a  non-deliverable  forward  contract  for  the  shares.  The 
management  treats  the  transaction  on  acquisition  by  PJSC  Bank  VTB  (the  “Bank”)  of  55 billion  of  the 
Company’s ordinary shares – 40 billion of additionally issued shares and 15 billion of treasury shares carried 
on the Group subsidiaries’ balance sheet (Note 15) and entering into a non-deliverable forward contract for 
these shares (Note 19) in March 2017 as two separate transactions. The sale of shares is recorded in equity 
and a derivative financial instrument is recognised.  
The  terms  and  conditions  of  the  share  sale  imply  transfer  of  risks  and  rewards  in  connection  with  these 
shares, such as dividend payments received by the Bank and participation in the Company’s management. 
No obligations for their repurchase and conversion into a different financial instrument, guarantees or binding 
agreements  arise  for  the  Company.  Given  the  above  and  the  fact  that  the  international  financial  reporting 
standards  do  not  prescribe  accounting  treatment  for  the  risks  and  rewards  transfer  procedure  for  treasury 
shares,  the  Group  management  concluded  that  the  transaction  should  be  presented  on  the  basis  that  the 
Bank is the beneficial owner of the Company’s shares. 
In the Group management’s opinion, the decrease in the prepaid forward value by the amounts equivalent to 
dividends received by the Bank does not directly represent return of dividends, and, therefore, does not limit 
the Bank in terms of obtaining rewards from share ownership. According to the forward contract, there will be 
significant  delays  in  the  offset  of  cash  flows  (for  a  period  exceeding  three  months  from  the  date  when 
dividends are received by the Bank), and the Bank  will be able to place the received dividends not only in 
cash and cash equivalents but other instruments for the period exceeding three months as well, and it will be 
able to receive income and subsequently reinvest it multiple times. 
As the issue of shares is recorded in equity and also as both the issue of shares and the conclusion of the 
non-deliverable forward contract are carried out by decision and in the interests of the state as the ultimate 
controlling  party,  the  initial  recognition  of  the  non-deliverable  forward  contract  for  these  shares  is  also 
recorded in equity as a shareholder transaction.  

Recognition of a premium to the price of capacity with subsequent transfer of the collected amounts 
to the budgets of the respective regions. In July 2017 the Resolution of the Russian Government No. 895 
“On achievement of basic rates (tariffs) for electric power (capacity) in the territories of the Far East Federal 
region”  became  effective.  This  Resolution  stipulates  the  application  of  a  premium  to  the  price  of  capacity 
provided by the Company in the price zones of the wholesale electricity and capacity market with subsequent 
transfer  of  the  amounts  collected  to  the  constituent  budgets  of  the  Far  East  Federal  region  in  the  form  of 
free-of-charge targeted contributions.  

Constituent regions are obliged to use these contributions to compensate the guaranteeing suppliers of the 
Far  East  Federal  region  for  the  reduction  in  tariffs  which  were  made  consistent  with  the  basic  level. 
According to the Resolution tariffs were reduced retrospectively starting from 1 January 2017. 

18 

 
RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

The amount of the premium that should be transferred to the budgets of the Far East Federal region in the 
form of free-of-charge targeted contributions is stipulated by the Resolution of the Russian Government and 
for  the  year  ended  31  December  2017 was  RR 23 995  million.  Taking into  account  that  the Group  collects 
the premium and subsequently transfers it to the respective budgets on behalf of the Russian Government, 
the  management  of  the  Group  concluded  that  revenue  from  the  sales  of  capacity  in  the  amount  of  the 
premium  should  be  presented  in  the  consolidated  income  statement  net  of  related  free-of-charge  targeted 
contributions. 

Government subsidies receivable by the Group’s companies – guaranteeing suppliers under the rules of the 
Resolution of the Russian Government No. 895 are recognised in government grants (Note 24). Government 
grants are recognised  when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group 
will be able to comply with all attached conditions (Note 12). 

Impairment of non-financial assets. Accounting for impairment of non-financial assets includes impairment 
of property, plant and equipment and impairment of investments in associates.  

The effect of these critical accounting estimates and assumptions is disclosed in Notes 7 and 8. 
Recognition  of  deferred  tax  assets.  At  each  reporting  date  management  assesses  recoverability  of 
deferred  tax  assets  arising  from  operating  losses  and  asset  impairments  in  the  context  of  the  current 
economic  environment,  particularly  when  current  and  expected future  profits  have  been  adversely  affected 
by  market  conditions.  Management  considers  first  the future  reversal  of  existing  deferred  tax liabilities  and 
then  considers  future  taxable  profits  when  evaluating  deferred  tax  assets.  The  assessment  is  made  on  a 
taxpayer basis. The future taxable profits and the amount of tax benefits that are probable in the future are 
based  on  the  medium  term  business  plans  of  the  Group  companies  prepared  by  management  and 
extrapolated results thereafter. 

Management considered the recoverability of recognised deferred tax assets, including those on tax losses 
carried  forward,  as  probable  due  to  existence  of  taxable  temporary  differences  which  recoverability  is 
expected  in  future  and  of  high  probability  of  deferred  tax  assets  being  recoverable  by  the  future  taxable 
profits (Note 16). 

Useful life of property, plant and equipment. The estimation of the useful life of an item of property, plant 
and  equipment is  a matter  of management  judgment based  upon  experience  with  similar  assets  and  other 
factors.  In  determining  the  useful  life  of  an  asset,  management  considers  the  expected  usage,  estimated 
technical  obsolescence,  physical  wear  and  tear,  warranty  terms  as  well  as  the  environment  in  which  the 
asset  is  operated.  Changes  in  any  of  these  conditions  or  estimates  may  result  in  adjustments  for  future 
depreciation rates which can affect the reported income. 

Reclassifications.  Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to  prior  year  data  to  conform  to  the  current 
year presentation. These reclassifications are not material. 

Adoption of New or Revised Standards and Interpretations 

The following new standards and interpretations became effective from 1 January 2017 but did not have any 
material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements: 

 

 

 

Disclosure  Initiative  –  Amendments  to  IAS  7  (issued  on  29  January  2016  and  effective  for  annual 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). The new disclosures are included in Note 18. 

Recognition  of  Deferred  Tax  Assets  for  Unrealised  Losses  –  Amendment  to  IAS  12  (issued  on  19 
January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017).  

Amendments  to  IFRS  12  included  in  Annual  Improvements  to  IFRSs  2014-2016  Cycle  (issued  on  8 
December 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). 

Note 3. 

New accounting pronouncements 

Certain  new  standards  and  interpretations  have  been  issued  that  are  mandatory  for  the  annual  periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2018 or later, and which the Group has not early adopted. These standards 
and interpretations have been approved for adoption in the Russian Federation unless noted otherwise. 

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement (amended in July 2014 and effective for 
annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Key features of the new standard are: 

 

Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured 
subsequently  at  amortised  cost,  those  to  be  measured  subsequently  at  fair  value  through  other 
comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or 
loss (FVPL).  

19 

 
RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

  Classification  for  debt  instruments  is  driven  by  the  entity’s  business  model  for  managing  the  financial 
assets  and  whether  the  contractual  cash  flows  represent  solely  payments  of  principal  and  interest 
(SPPI).  If  a  debt  instrument  is  held  to  collect,  it  may  be  carried  at  amortised  cost  if  it  also  meets  the 
SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where 
an entity both holds to collect assets’ cash flows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial 
assets  that  do  not  contain  cash  flows  that  are  SPPI  must  be  measured  at  FVPL  (for  example, 
derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in 
assessing the SPPI condition. 
Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make 
an  irrevocable  election  to  present  changes  in  fair  value  in  other  comprehensive  income,  provided  the 
instrument is  not  held for trading.  If the  equity instrument  is  held for trading,  changes  in fair value  are 
presented in profit or loss. 

 

 

  Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried 
forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of 
changes  in  own  credit  risk  of financial liabilities  designated  at  fair value  through  profit  or loss  in  other 
comprehensive income.  
IFRS  9 introduces  a  new  model for  the  recognition  of  impairment losses –  the  expected  credit  losses 
(ECL)  model.  There  is  a  ”three  stage”  approach  which  is  based  on  the  change  in  credit  quality  of 
financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record 
an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit 
impaired  (or  lifetime  ECL for trade  receivables). Where  there  has  been  a  significant increase  in  credit 
risk,  impairment  is  measured  using  lifetime  ECL  rather  than  12-month  ECL.  The  model  includes 
operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables. 

  Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. 
The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting 
requirements  of  IFRS  9  and  continuing  to  apply  IAS  39  to  all  hedges  because  the  standard  currently 
does not address accounting for macro hedging. 

Based on an analysis of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as at 31 December 2017 and on 
the basis of the facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the management of the Group expects the 
adoption of the new standard will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements from 
the  adoption  of  the  new  standard  on  1 January  2018  and  will  result  in  the  following  changes  in  the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2018:. 

 

As  a  result  of  the  recalculation  of  the  provision  for  impairment  of  the  Group’s  accounts  receivable  in 
accordance  with  the  expected  credit  losses  (ECL)  model,  the  provision  for  impairment  of  accounts 
receivable as at January 1, 2018 will be reduced by RR 705 million according to preliminary estimates 
and, accordingly, accounts receivable will increase by the same amount.  

  No  significant  changes  are  expected  for  financial  liabilities,  other  than  changes  in  the  fair  value  of 
financial  liabilities  designated  at  FVTPL  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  for  the  year  ending 
31 December  2018  that  are  attributable  to  changes  in  the  instrument’s  credit  risk,  which  will  be 
presented in other comprehensive income. 

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers  (amended in April 2016 and effective for the periods 
beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018).  The  new  standard  replaces  all  existing  IFRS  requirements  for 
revenue recognition. IFRS 15 introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods 
or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are 
distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be 
allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must 
be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers 
have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed.  

In  accordance  with  the  transition  provisions  in  IFRS  15  the  Group  management  intends  to  apply  the 
simplified  transition  method  with  the  effect  of  the  transition  to  be  recognised  as  at  1  January  2018  in  the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2018 which will be the first year when the 
Group will apply IFRS 15. 

The Group plans to apply the practical expedient available for the simplified transition method. IFRS 15 will 
be  applied  retrospectively  only  to  contracts  that  are  outstanding  at  the  date  of  initial  recognition 
(1 January 2018).

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

In accordance with the current accounting policies, the Group recognises revenue upon delivery of electricity, 
heat  and  provision  of  capacity  and  upon  sale  of  other  goods  and  provision  of  services  during  the  period. 
Revenue  is  recognised  at  the  fair  value  of  the  consideration  receivable.  A  provision  for  impairment  of 
accounts receivable is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect 
all  amounts  due  according  to  the  original  terms. In  accordance  with  IFRS  15,  revenue is  recognised  in  an 
amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  to  which  the  Group  is  expected  to  be  entitled  in  exchange  for  the 
transfer of goods or services promised to the customer.  

Based  on  the  analysis  of  the  Group’s  recurrent  inflows  for  the  year  ended  31  December  2017,  terms  of 
individual contracts, and facts and circumstances that exist at that date, the Group expects that adoption of 
IFRS 15 will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements as at 1 January 2018 and 
will  result  in  the  following  changes  in  the  accounting  policies  and  the  following  adjustments  in  the 
consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2018: 

Received compensation of losses in grids. The Group currently recognises revenue from compensation 
of transmission losses and expenses on power distribution under contracts with grid companies on a gross 
basis. Compensation of transmission losses that the Group receives from grid companies are not treated as 
separate  performance  obligations  in  accordance  with  IFRS  15.  Therefore,  this  compensation  cannot  be 
recognised within revenues as the contract on compensation of losses is not a contract with customers in the 
context of IFRS 15 and is beyond the scope of IFRS 15.   

The compensation of transmission losses that entities of the Group received in the year ended 31 December 
2017  amounted  to  RR  4,237  million.  Expenses  on  power  distribution  under  contracts  with  grid  companies 
totalled RR 47,719 million for the year ended 31 December 2017.  

Purchase of electricity for own needs. The wholesale electricity and capacity market (WEM) has a number 
of  sectors  varying  in  their  contractual  terms  and  conditions  and  delivery  timeframes:  sector  of  regulated 
contracts,  day-ahead  market,  sector  of  unregulated  bilateral  contracts  and  the  balancing  market.  
Under the WEM rules, the Group does not have direct contracts with final customers in the day-ahead and 
balancing markets and sells electricity under contracts with JSC Centre of Financial Settlements (CFS), who 
further  sells it to final  customers.  At  the  same  time,  the  Group  has  contracts  with  CFS for  the  purchase  of 
electricity based on the results of the competitive selection of price bids on the day-ahead market and for the 
purposes of balancing the system.  

The  Group  treats  electricity  supply  contracts  with  CFS  as  contracts  with  a  customer  (represented  by  the 
whole  market)  covered  by  IFRS  15.  Therefore,  an  electricity  supply  contract  with  CFS  and  an  electricity 
purchase contract with CFS are treated as contracts signed with one customer - the wholesale electricity and 
capacity market.  

The  Group  is  unable  to  function  normally  without  ensuring  power  supply  to  its  production  facilities.  This 
indicates direct interrelation between the purchased volume of electricity and its generation and delivery to 
WEM.  The fact that the Group buys electricity at WEM does not mean that the Group is a customer in the 
context  of  IFRS  15.  Consequently,  the  cost  of  electricity that  the  Group  buys  at WEM  to  support  the  work 
process  and  for  own  needs,  in  accordance  with  IFRS  15  represents  compensation  to  be  paid  to  the 
customer. This compensation should be recognised as a reduction of the transaction price and, therefore, of 
revenue, unless the payment to the customer is in exchange for distinct goods or services that the customer 
transfers to the entity.  

The  cost  of  electricity  purchased  to  support  the  work  process  and  for  other  own  needs  totalled 
RR 583 million for the year ended 31 December 2017.  

Given that management of the Group has not finalised its analysis of the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15, 
the above disclosure is preliminary and it is possible that the impact on the consolidated financial statements 
may differ from the above. The Group expects to finalise the IFRS 15 adoption by the date  of issue of the 
condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three months ended 31 March 2018. 

IFRS 16, Leases (issued in January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 
2019).  The  new  standard  sets  out  the  principles  for  the  recognition,  measurement,  presentation  and 
disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease 
and,  if  lease  payments  are  made  over  time,  also  obtaining  financing.  Accordingly,  IFRS  16  eliminates  the 
classification  of leases  as  either  operating  leases  or  finance  leases  as  is  required  by  IAS  17  and, instead, 
introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities 
for  all  leases  with  a  term  of  more  than  12  months,  unless  the  underlying  asset  is  of  low  value;  and  (b) 
depreciation  of  lease  assets  separately  from  interest  on  lease  liabilities  in  the  income  statement.  IFRS  16

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to 
classify  its  leases  as  operating  leases  or  finance  leases,  and  to  account  for  those  two  types  of  leases 
differently.  The  Group  is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of  the  new  standard  on  its  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (issued  in May 2017  and effective for annual periods beginning on  or after 
1 January 2021). IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4, which has given companies dispensation to carry on accounting 
for insurance contracts using existing practices. As a consequence, it was difficult for investors to compare 
and  contrast  the  financial  performance  of  otherwise  similar  insurance  companies.  IFRS  17  is  a  single 
principle-based standard to account for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts that 
an insurer holds. The standard requires recognition and measurement of groups of insurance contracts at: (i) 
a risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows  (the fulfilment cash flows) that incorporates all of the 
available  information  about  the  fulfilment  cash  flows  in  a  way  that  is  consistent  with  observable  market 
information; plus (if this value is a liability) or minus (if this value is an asset) (ii) an amount representing the 
unearned  profit  in  the  group  of  contracts  (the  contractual  service  margin).  Insurers  will  be  recognising  the 
profit from a group of insurance contracts over the period they provide insurance coverage, and as they are 
released from risk. If a group of contracts is or becomes loss-making, an entity will be recognising the loss 
immediately. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new  standard on its consolidated financial 
statements. 

IFRIC 22, Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration (issued on 8 December 2016 and 
effective  for  annual  periods  beginning  on  or  after  1  January  2018).  The  Interpretation  addresses  how  to 
determine  the  date  of  the  transaction  for  the  purpose  of  determining  the  exchange  rate  to  use  on  initial 
recognition  of  the  related  asset,  expense  or  income  (or  part  thereof)  on  derecognition  of  a  non-monetary 
asset or non-monetary liability arising from an advance consideration in foreign currency. Under IAS 21, the 
date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the 
related asset, expense or income (or part thereof) is the date on which an entity initially recognises the non-
monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from advance consideration in foreign currency. If there are 
multiple  payments  or  receipts  in  advance,  the  entity  shall  determine  a  date  of  the  transaction  for  each 
payment  or  receipt  of  advance  consideration.  IFRIC  22  only  applies  in  circumstances  where  an  entity 
recognises the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from an advance consideration in foreign 
currency. IFRIC 22 does not contain any practical guidance on identifying an accounting item as monetary or 
non-monetary. Generally, a payment or receipt of consideration made as advance payment would result in 
recognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability. However, they can also give rise to a monetary 
asset or liability. An entity may require professional judgement to determine if a specific accounting item is 
monetary  or  non-monetary.  The  Group  is  currently  assessing  the  impact  of  the  Interpretation  on  its 
consolidated financial statements. 

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (issued in June 2017 and effective for annual periods 
beginning on or after 1 January 2019). IAS 12 specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not 
how  to  reflect  the  effects  of  uncertainty.  The  interpretation  clarifies  how  to  apply  the  recognition  and 
measurement requirements in IAS 12 when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. An entity should 
determine  whether  to  consider  each  uncertain tax  treatment  separately  or together  with  one  or more  other 
uncertain tax treatments based on which approach better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. An entity 
should  assume  that  a  taxation  authority  will  examine  amounts  it  has  a  right  to  examine  and  have  full 
knowledge  of  all  related  information  when  making  those  examinations.  If  an  entity  concludes  it  is  not 
probable  that  the  taxation  authority  will  accept  an  uncertain  tax  treatment,  the  effect  of  uncertainty  will  be 
reflected in determining the related taxable profit or loss, tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or 
tax  rates,  by  using  either  the  most  likely  amount  or  the  expected  value,  depending  on  which  method  the 
entity expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty. An entity will reflect the effect of a change in 
facts  and  circumstances  or  of  new  information  that  affects  the  judgments  or  estimates  required  by  the 
interpretation as a change in accounting estimate. Examples of changes in facts and circumstances or new 
information  that  can  result  in  the  reassessment  of  a  judgment  or  estimate  include,  but  are  not  limited  to, 
examinations  or  actions  by  a taxation  authority,  changes  in  rules  established  by  a  taxation  authority  or  the 
expiry of a taxation authority’s right to examine or re-examine a tax treatment. The absence of agreement or 
disagreement  by  a  taxation  authority  with  a  tax treatment, in  isolation, is  unlikely to  constitute  a  change  in 
facts  and  circumstances  or  new  information  that  affects  the  judgments  and  estimates  required  by  the 
Interpretation. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the interpretation on its consolidated financial 
statements.

Segment information 

Note 5. 
Operating segments are components of the Group engaged in operations from which they may earn revenue 
and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses  relating to transactions with other components of the 
Group. The individual financial information of the operating segments, which based on the  same principles 
as the present consolidated financial statements, is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating 
decision maker (CODM) to make operating decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and 
the performance of the segments’ operating activities. 
The  CODM  analyses  the  information  concerning  the  Group  by  the  groups  of  operations  which  are 
aggregated  in  operating  segments  presented  by  the  following  separate  reportable  segments:  PJSC 
RusHydro  (the  Group’s  parent  company),  ESС  RusHydro  subgroup,  RAO  ES  East  subgroup  and  other 
segments  (Note  4).  Transactions  of  other  segments  are  not  disclosed  as  reportable  segments  based  on 
quantitative indicators for the periods presented. 
Management of operating activities of segments is performed with direct participation of individual segment 
managers  accountable  to  the  CODM.  Segment  managers  on  a  regular  basis  submit  for  approval  to  the

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

The  segments’  operational  results  are  assessed  on  the  basis  of  EBITDA,  which  is  calculated  as  operating 
profit  /  loss  excluding  insurance  compensation,  depreciation  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  and 
amortisation  of  intangible  assets,  impairment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment,  impairment  of  financial 
assets,  impairment  of loans  issued  and accounts  receivable,  gain  / loss  on  disposal  of  property,  plant  and 
equipment,  gain  /  loss  on  disposal  of  subsidiaries  and  associates,  profit  on  disposal  of  other  non-current 
assets and other non-monetary items of operating expenses. This method of definition of EBITDA may differ 
from  the  methods  applied  by  other  companies.  CODM  believes  that  EBITDA  represents  the  most  useful 
means  of  assessing  the  performance  of  ongoing  operating  activities  of  the  Company  and  the  Group’s 
subsidiaries, as it reflects the earnings trends without showing the impact of the above charges. 

Segment  information  also  contains  capital  expenditures  and  the  amount  of  debt  as  these  indicators  are 
analysed by the CODM. Intersegment debt’s balances are excluded. 

Other  information  provided  to  the  CODM  complies  with  the  information  presented  in  the  consolidated 
financial statements. 

Intersegment sales are carried out at market prices. 

Segment  information  for  the  years  ended  31  December  2017  and  31  December  2016  and  as  at

in 

Additions to assets under construction included capitalised depreciation in the amount of RR 732 million (for 
the year ended 31 December 2016: RR 1,042 million). 

Other property, plant and equipment include motor vehicles, land, office fixtures and other equipment. 

Management  of  the  Group  considers  that  the  carrying  amount  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  as  at 
31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 does not differ materially from their fair value at the end of the 
reporting period.  

Assessment of fair value of property, plant and equipment  

Management of the Group determines the fair value of property, plant and equipment as follows.  

The Group's property, plant and equipment are mainly represented by specialised property: the Group's key 
assets  are  represented  by  unique  hydro  engineering  structures  and  power  equipment manufactured  under 
certain technical specifications for each power plant; such equipment is rarely sold in the market.  

The Group management determines the value of the specialised property on a regular basis, using the cost 
approach. The cost approach is based on the economic concept which implies that a buyer will pay no more 
for an asset than it would cost to develop or obtain another asset with the same functionality. The total costs 
of replacement or reproduction of the analysed asset resulting from such measurement are decreased by the 
amount of physical, functional and economic depreciation.  

The  replacement  costs  are  determined  based  on  specialised  reference  books,  regulatory  documents, 
construction  rates,  manufacturer’s  prices  in  effect  as  of  the  valuation  date;  physical  and  functional 
depreciation is measured based on the age of the assets, their actual condition and operating mode, etc.  

To  determine  the  economic  depreciation  of  specialised  assets,  the  Group  management  calculates  the 
recoverable amount using the income approach. It is based on discounted cash flow method, and the Group 
uses certain assumptions when building the cash flow forecast. In particular, these assumptions are used to 
determine  the  expected  cash flows,  capital  expenditures  and  discount  rates  for  each  cash  generating  unit. 
The  Group  management  determines  the  forecast  horizon,  and  net  cash  inflows  from  the  asset's  operation 
are  calculated  for  each  period  of  this  horizon.  The  recoverable  amount  of  the  cash  generating  unit  is 
determined by recalculating the discounted net cash flows. The Group management believes that the Group 
subsidiaries and Company's branches are separate cash generating units. 

If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is higher than the replacement cost less physical and 
functional depreciation of property, plant and equipment included in this cash generating unit, it is concluded 
that there is no economic depreciation. If this is not the case and if the recoverable amount is less than the 
carrying amount of cash generating unit, the economic impairment is determined as the difference between 
the recoverable amount and the carrying amount.

Based on the Company’s management assessment of future trends in the business 

Based on the management valuation of capital expenditures on 
modernisation and reconstruction programme 

* Management considers that a forecast period greater than five years is appropriate as the wholesale electricity and capacity market is 
expected to change significantly  over  the forecast  period  and cash  flow projections will not be stabilised within five years. However  a 
forecast  period  of  cash  flows  was  mainly  defined  by  remaining  useful  life  of  assets  tested.  For  hydroelectric  power  plants  this  period 
may amount up to 100 years due to the fact that key asset is a dam. In this regard the recoverable amount of assets was defined based 
on cash flows during the forecast period and terminal values. 

The  values  assigned  to  the  key  assumptions  represent  management’s  assessment  of  future  trends  in  the 
business and are based on both external and internal sources. 

Management of the Group analysed the current economic situation, in which the Group operates, in order to 
detect  the  indicators  of  impairment  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  or  indicators  that  an  impairment  loss 
recognised in prior periods no longer exists or decreased. 

As  a  result  of  the  impairment  analysis  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  of  the  Group  as  at  31  December 
2017 their carrying amount decreased by RR 25,890 million. As a result an impairment loss in the amount of 
RR 24,583  million  was  recognised  in  the  Consolidated  Income  Statement  and  decrease  of  previously 
recognised revaluation reserve in the amount of RR 1,307 million (before income tax of RR 261 million) – in 
other comprehensive loss, the effects relate mainly to the following cash-generating units: 

 

 

Yakutskaya GRES-2 – impairment loss in the amount of RR 13,057 million; 

Yakutskenergo  –  impairment  loss  in  the  amount  of  RR  7,888  million  and  decrease  of  previous 
revaluation reserve in the amount of RR 1,277 million. 

The  sensitivity  analysis  of  the  recoverable  amounts  of  cash-generating  units  for  the  key  assumptions  is 
presented in Note 32.

As  a  result  of  the  impairment  analysis  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  as  at  31  December  2016  their 
carrying  amount  decreased  by  RR 32,667  million.  As  a  result,  impairment  loss  in  the  amount  of 
RR 26,517 million  was  recognised  in  the  Consolidated  Income  Statement  and  a  decrease  of  previous

Events at Zagorskaya GAES-2. On 17 September 2013 there was a partial flooding at Zagorskaya GAES-2 
which  is  under  construction  in  the  Moscow  Region.  The  flooding  originated  from  the  lower  reservoir  via 
functional joints  of  the  station  block  and  a  newly formed  cavity in  the  right junction  of the GAES-2  building 
foundation.  Construction  and  assembly  works  as  well  as  property,  including  equipment,  were  insured  by 
PIJSC  Ingosstrakh,  JSC  AlfaStrakhovanie  and  JSC  SOGAZ.  As  at  31  December  2016  all  insurance 
companies had made all payments on the insured event. 

Other  operating  income for  the  year  ended  31  December  2016  include  insurance  indemnity  received from 
JSC SOGAZ and JSC AlfaStrakhovanie in the amount of RR 1,737 million. 

For  the  year  ended  31  December  2017  a  loss  on  disposal  of  damaged  equipment  and  assets  under 
construction  which  are  not  recoverable  and,  as  well  as  expenses  on  recovery  works,  were  recognised  in 
Operating  expenses  in  the  amount  of  RR 902 million  (for  the  year  ended  31  December  2016: 
RR 1,600 million).  

At  the  consolidated  financial  statements  signing  date  management  of  the  Group  cannot  reliably  estimate 
future expenses that may be necessary to eliminate consequences of the technical incident. However, these 
expenses may be material for the Group. 

Management  of  the  Group  believes  that  property,  plant  and  equipment  at  Zagorskaya  GAES-2  is  not 
impaired  as  at  31  December  2017  as  there  were  capacity  supply  contracts  concluded  in  respect  of  new 
power  generation  facilities  of  Zagorskaya  GAES-2,  that  guarantee  the  payback  period  of  20  years  for  the 
total  cost  of  construction  for  the  period.  The  carrying  amount  of  Zagorskaya  GAES-2  property,  plant  and 
equipment is RR 61,235 million. 

Leased  equipment.  As  at  31  December  2017  the  net  book value  of  assets  held  under  finance  lease  and 
included  in  property,  plant  and  equipment  was  RR 1,372  million  (31  December  2016:  RR 1,964  million). 
Assets held under finance lease were mainly represented by plant and equipment. 

Operating  lease.  The  Group  leases  a  number  of  land  areas  owned  by  local  governments  and  production 
buildings under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. Land lease payments are determined by lease 
agreements. The land areas leased by the Group are the territories on which the Group’s hydropower plants 
and  other  assets  are  located.  According  to  the  Land  Code  of  the  Russian  Federation  such  land  areas  are 
limited in their alienability and cannot become private property. The Group’s operating leases typically run for 
an  initial  period  of  5–49  years  with  an  option  to  renew  the  lease  after  that  date.  Lease  payments  are 
reviewed regularly. 

The  future  payments  under  non-cancellable  operating  leases  in  accordance  with  rates  as  at  the  reporting 
period end are as follows:  

Less than one year 
Between one and five years 
After five years

Goodwill  of  JSC  Institute  Hydroproject.  As  at  31  December  2017  and  31  December  2016,  the  Group 
tested goodwill related to JSC Institute Hydroproject for its potential impairment. As a result the recoverable 
amount of JSC Institute Hydroproject as a cash generating asset was higher than the carrying amount - there 
is no economic impairment.  

Dams  of  Bratskaya,  Ust’-Ilimskaya  and  Irkutskaya  HPPs.  In  November  2016  the  Group  completed  the 
transaction to sell dams of Bratskaya, Ust’-Ilimskaya and Irkutskaya HPPs to EuroSibEnergo Group. These 
dams  are  part  of  technological  complex  of  EuroSibEnergo’s  cascade  of  hydropower  plants  located  on  the

Included in accounts receivable are government subsidies receivable from the constituent budgets of the Far 
East Federal region including those for compensation of the tariffs reduction under Resolution of the Russian 
Government No. 895 as at 31 December 2017 (Note 2). 

The  provision  for  impairment  of  accounts  receivable  has  been  determined  based  on  specific  customer 
identification, customer payment trends, subsequent receipts and settlements and the analysis of expected 
future cash flows (Note 2). Management believes that the Group’s subsidiaries will be able to realise the net 
receivable  amount  through  direct  collections  and  other  non-cash  settlements,  and  the  carrying  value 
approximates their fair value. 

Movements in the impairment provision for trade and other accounts receivables are as follows: 

As at 1 January 
Charge for the year 
Reversal of impairment

The  majority  of  trade  debtors  which  are  neither  past  due  nor  impaired  could  be  aggregated  in  several 
groups based on similarities in their credit quality: large industrial consumers – participants of the wholesale 
and retail electricity and capacity market as well as public sector entities and population. 
The Group does not hold any accounts receivable pledged as collateral.

shares  in  the  amount  of  RR 4,613  million  (31  December  2016:  18,852,353,167  ordinary  shares  in  the 
amount of RR 22,578 million). 

In March 2017, 15 billion treasury shares were sold to PJSC Bank VTB at the price of RR 1,00 per share in 
accordance  with  the  agreement  described  above.  Weighted  average  cost  of  these  treasury  shares  was 
RR 17,965 million; the loss on disposal of RR 2,965 million was accounted for within equity. 

Voluntary and obligatory offers to purchase shares of JSC RAO ES East. During 2016 the shareholders 
of  JSC RAO ES East  that  accepted  the  terms  of  the  voluntary  offer,  transferred  4,715,738,904  ordinary 
shares  and  346,195,762  preference  shares  of  JSC RAO ES East  to  LLC Vostok-Finance  for  a  cash 
consideration of RR 34 million and in exchange for 2,934,258,766 shares of the Company in the amount of 
RR 3,514  million.  Under  the  obligatory  offer  to  purchase  shares,  LLC  Vostok-Finance  repurchased 
887,217,472  ordinary  shares  and  312,687,580  preference  shares  of  JSC RAO ES East  for  a  cash 
consideration of RR 380 million. 

Effect of changes in non-controlling interest of subsidiaries. During 2016 as a result of the voluntary and 
obligatory  offers  to  purchase  shares  of  JSC  RAO  ES East  as  described  above,  non-controlling  interest 
decreased by RR 6,694 million and retained earnings of the Group increased by RR 4,872 million as a result 
of  the  treasury  shares  disposal,  decrease  in  non-controlling  interest  and  derecognition  of  the  remaining 
obligation to purchase shares after they were partly purchased for cash. 

In October 2017 the Group’s share in subsidiaries JSC SK Agroenergo was sold, as a result non-controlling 
interest increased by RR 228 million.. 

During 2016 Group’s  subsidiaries LLC Dom-21 century  and JSC HRSK went bankrupt, also in December 2016 
JSC SO UPS was liquidated. As a result non-controlling interest increased by RR 213 million due to decrease of 
share in losses of these subsidiaries previously absorbed by shareholders of the Group. 

Dividends.  On  26 June 2017  the  Company  declared  dividends  for  the  year  ended  31 December 2016 
of RR 0.0466 per share in the total amount of RR 19,876 million (RR 19,696 million excluding dividends to 
subsidiaries).  

On  27 June 2016  the  Company  declared  dividends  for  the  year  ended  31 December 2015  of  RR 0.0389 
per share in the total amount of RR 15,011 million (RR 14,278 million excluding dividends to subsidiaries). 

Declared  dividends  of  the  Group’s  subsidiaries  in  favour  of  non-controlling  interest  holders  amounted  to 
RR 127  million  for  the  year  ended  31  December 2017  (for  the  year  ended  31 December 2016: 
RR 234 million).

The  total  amount  of  deductible  temporary  differences  for  which  deferred  income tax  assets  have  not  been 
recognised  by  the  Group  as  at  31  December  2017  was  RR  97,127  million  (31  December  2016: 
RR 80,055 million). These temporary differences mainly relate to accumulated impairment of property, plant 
and equipment, assets under construction, changes in the fair value of the non-deliverable forward contract 
for shares and pension liabilities of several Group’s subsidiaries.  

Deferred  income  tax.  Differences  between  IFRS  and  statutory  taxation  regulations  in  the  Russian 
Federation give rise to temporary differences between the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities for 
financial  reporting  purposes  and  their  tax  bases.  The  tax  effect  of  the  movements  in  these  temporary 
differences  is  detailed  below  and  is  recorded  at  the  rate  of  20  percent  (for  the  year  ended  31  December 
2016: 20 percent).

Deferred tax offset 

Under the existing Group structure tax losses and current income tax assets of different Group entities may not 
be offset against current income tax liabilities and taxable profits of other Group entities and, accordingly, taxes 
may  be  accrued  even  where  there  is  a  consolidated  tax  loss.  Therefore,  deferred  income  tax  assets  and 
liabilities are offset only when they relate to the same taxable entity and the entity has legal rights to offset it.

Retirement benefit plan parameters and related risks. The Group has liabilities under retirement benefit 
plans in Russia. The retirement benefit plan includes benefits of the following types: lump sum payment upon 
retirement, jubilee  benefits  paid  at certain  age  or  upon  completion  of  a certain  number  of  years  of  service, 
financial  aid  and  compensation  to  cover  funeral  expenses  in  the  event  of  an  employee’s  or  pensioner's 
death, financial aid provided to pensioners, pension benefits paid to former employees through the non-state 
pension fund (hereinafter referred to as the “NPF”). 
The amount of benefits depends on the period of the employees' service (years of service), salary level over 
the recent years preceding retirement, predetermined fixed amount or minimum tariff rate of remuneration or 
salary or a combination of these factors. 
As a rule, the above benefits are indexed according to the inflation rate and salary growth for benefits that depend 
on the salary level, excluding the retirement benefits paid through NPF, which are not indexed for the inflation rate 
at the time the payment is made (following the retirement of employees, all risks are borne by NPF). 
In addition to the inflation risk, all retirement benefit plans of the Group are exposed to mortality and survival risks. 
Plan assets held on NPF's accounts are governed in accordance with the local legislation and regulatory practices. 
The  Group  and  NPF  are  severally  liable  for  plans  management,  including  investments  decisions  and  the 
contribution schedule. 
NPF  invests  the  Group's  funds  in  a  diversified  portfolio.  When  investing  pension  savings  and  placing  the 
pension reserves, NPF is guided by the Russian legislation that provides a  strict regulation with respect to 
the possible list of financial instruments and restricts their utilisation, which also leads to diversification and 
reduces investment risks.  
The  Group  transfers  the  obligation  to  pay  lifelong  non-state  pension  benefits  to  the  Group's  former 
employees  to  NPF  and  funds  these  obligations  when  awarding  the  pension.  Therefore,  the  Group  insures 
the risks related to payment of non-state pensions (investment risks and survival risks).

Note 19.  Non-deliverable forward contract for shares 

In  March 2017  the  Company  entered  into  a  non-deliverable  forward  transaction  for  55 billion  shares  with 
PJSC Bank VTB for 5 years.  

According to the forward contract, the forward value is determined as the purchase consideration paid by the 
Bank for the shares plus the amount of quarterly payments made by the Company to the Bank. The amounts 
of these interim payments are determined using a certain formula that inter alia reduces the payments by the 
amounts equivalent to the dividends received by the Bank over the period of the forward contract. 

The Bank is assumed to sell the Company’s shares at the time of final settlement under the forward contract. 
The  difference  between  the  proceeds  that  the  Bank  will  receive  from  the  sale  of  these  shares,  and  their 
forward value is subject to cash settlement between the Company and the Bank. Thus, if the forward value is 
higher than the consideration received for the shares by the Bank, the Company will reimburse the difference 
to the Bank and, vice versa, if the proceeds from the sale of shares exceed the forward value, the difference 
will be paid by the Bank to the Company. If, for any reason, the shares will not be sold by the Bank, they will 
continue  to  be  held  by  the  Bank.  If  this  is  the  case,  the  amount  of  additional  payment  to  be  made  when 
closing the forward transaction is calculated based on the quoted market price of the Company's shares. 

Thus, the payments will be made upon expiry of the forward contract or earlier, if the Bank sells the shares 
held.  The  payment  can  be  made  both  by  the  Company  to  the  Bank  or  by  the  Bank  to  the  Company, 
depending  on  the  level  of  the  market  value  of  the  Company’s  shares  at  the  time  of  sale / expiry  of  the 
transaction term and their forward value. 

Note  2  describes  the  key  estimates  and  judgements  made  by  the  Group  management  in  respect  of 
recognition and recording of this derivative financial instrument. 

At 31 December 2017, the liability under the forward contract is recorded as a long-term derivative financial 
instrument at fair value through profit or loss in the amount of RR 20,716 million. The fair value of the forward 
contract at the initial recognition of the instrument was RR 10,013 million and it was recorded within equity as 
the  result  of  a  shareholder  transaction.  Deferred  tax  asset  was  not  recognised  based  on  management’s 
probability estimate of its recoverability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the non-deliverable forward 
contract is recorded within profit or loss. 

A reconciliation of movements in the fair value of forward contract for the year ended 31 December 2017 is 
as follows:

Note 24.  Government grants 

In  accordance  with  legislation  of  the  Russian  Federation,  several  companies  of  the  Group  are  entitled  to 
government  subsidies  for  compensation  of  the  difference  between  approved  economically viable  electricity 
and  heat  tariffs  and  actual  reduced  tariffs  and  for  compensation  of  losses  on  purchased  fuel,  purchased 
electricity and capacity. 

During the year ended 31  December 2017, the Group received government subsidies  of RR 32,745 million 
(for  the  year  ended  31  December  2016:  RR 17,250 million).  The  subsidies  were  received  in  the  following 
territories:  Kamchatsky  territory,  Sakha  Republic  (Yakutia),  Magadan  Region,  Chukotka  Autonomous  Area 
and other Far East regions. 

The total amount of government grants received by the Group’s companies – guaranteeing suppliers, under 
the Resolution of the Russian Government No. 895 “On achievement of basic rates (tariffs) for electric power 
(capacity) in the territories of the Far East Federal region” (Note 2), for the year ended 31 December 2017 
amounted to RR 17,254 million.

In  accordance  with  investment  programme  of  the  Company  and  separate  investment  programmes  of  the 
subsidiaries,  the  Group  has  to  invest  RR  209,820  million  in the  period  2018-2020  for  reconstruction  of  the 
existing and construction of new power plants, including RR 106,676 million for 2018, RR 60,059 million for 
2019, RR 43,085 for 2020 (31 December 2016: RR 243,975 million for the period 2017-2019).  

Future  capital  expenditures  are  mainly  related  to  reconstruction  of  equipment  of  power  plants:  Volzhskaya 
HPP in the amount of RR 9,965 million, Saratovskaya HPP in the amount of RR 8,681 million, Votkinskaya 
HPP in the amount of RR 8,643 million; and to construction of power plants: Zaramagskie HPP in the amount 
of RR 17,223 million, Sakhalin GRES-2 in the amount of RR 13,824 million, Ust’-Srednekanskaya HPP in the 
amount of RR 6,954 million, Nizhne-Bureiskaya HPP in the amount of RR 6,642 million.  

Note 29.  Contingencies 

Social commitments. The Group contributes to the maintenance and upkeep of the local infrastructure and 
the  welfare  of its  employees, including  contributions  toward  the  development  and maintenance  of  housing, 
hospitals, transport services and other social needs in the geographical areas in which it operates. 

Insurance. The Group holds limited insurance policies in relation to its assets, operations, public liability or 
other insurable risks. Accordingly, the Group is exposed to those risks for which it does not have insurance. 

Legal proceedings. The Group’s subsidiaries are parties to certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary 
course  of  business.  In  the  opinion  of management,  there  are  no  current  legal  proceedings  or  other  claims 
outstanding,  which,  upon  final  disposition,  will  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  financial  position  and 
results of the Group. 

Tax  contingencies.  Russian  tax  legislation  which  was  enacted  or  substantively  enacted  at  the  end  of  the 
reporting period, is subject to varying interpretations when being applied to the transactions and activities of 
the  Group.  Consequently,  tax  positions  taken  by  management  may  be  challenged  by  tax  authorities,  in 
particular,  the  way  of  accounting for  tax  purposes  of  some  income  and  expenses  of  the  Group  as  well  as 
deductibility  of  input  VAT  from  suppliers  and  contractors.  The  impact  of  this  course  of  events  cannot  be 
assessed  with  sufficient  reliability,  but  it  can  be  significant  in  terms  of  the  financial  situation  and / or  the 
business of the Group. Russian tax administration is gradually strengthening, including the fact that there is a 
higher  risk  of  review  of  tax  transactions  without  a  clear  business  purpose  or  with  tax  incompliant 
counterparties. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for three calendar 
years preceding the year when decisions about the review was made. Under certain circumstances reviews 
may cover longer periods. 

The  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 with related parties and certain transactions between unrelated parties) if such transactions are 
not on an arm's length basis.  

During  the  year  ended  31  December  2017,  the  Group’s  subsidiaries  had  controlled  transactions  and 
transactions which highly probably will be considered by tax authorities to be controlled based on the results 
of the period. Management has implemented internal controls to be in compliance with this transfer pricing 
legislation.  In  case  of  receipt  of  a  request  from  tax  authorities,  the  management  of  the  Group  will  provide 
documentation meeting the requirements of Art. 105.15 of the Tax Code. 

Tax liabilities arising from controlled transactions are determined based on their actual transaction prices. It 
is possible, with the evolution of the interpretation of the transfer pricing rules, that such transfer prices could 
be challenged. 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.

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

New  provisions  aimed  at  deoffshorisation  of  Russian  economy  have  been  added  to  the  Russian  tax 
legislation and are effective from 1 January 2015. Specifically, they introduce new rules for controlled foreign 
companies,  a  concept  of  beneficiary  owner  of  income  for  the  purposes  of  application  of  preferential 
provisions of taxation treaties of the Russian Federation, a concept of tax residency for foreign persons and 
taxation of indirect sale of Russian real estate assets.  

The Group is currently assessing the effects of new tax rules on the Group’s operations and takes necessary 
steps  to  comply  with  the  new  requirements  of  the  Russian  tax  legislation.  However,  in  view  of  the  recent 
introduction of the above provisions and insufficient related administrative and court practice, at present the 
probability  of  claims  from  Russian  tax  authorities  and  probability  of  favourable  outcome  of  tax  disputes  (if 
they arise) cannot be reliably estimated. Tax disputes (if any) may have an impact on the Group's financial 
position and results. 

Management  believes  that  as  at  31  December  2017,  its  interpretation  of  the  relevant  legislation  was 
appropriate and the Group’s tax positions would be sustained. 

Environmental  matters.  The  Group’s  subsidiaries  and  their  predecessor  entities  have  operated  in  the 
utilities industry in the Russian Federation for many years. The enforcement of environmental regulation in 
the  Russian  Federation  is  evolving  and  the  enforcement  posture  of  government  authorities  is  continually 
being  reconsidered.  The  Group’s  subsidiaries  periodically  evaluate  their  obligations  under  environmental 
regulations. Group accrued assets retirement obligation for ash damps used by the Group which is included 
in  other  non-current  liabilities  and  other  accounts  payable  and  comprised  RR 1 348  million  as  at 
31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: RR 1 048 million). 

Potential liabilities might arise as a result of changes in legislation and regulation or civil litigation. The impact 
of  these  potential  changes  cannot  be  estimated  but  could  be  material.  In  the  current  enforcement  climate 
under  existing  legislation,  management  believes  that  there  are  no  significant  liabilities  for  environmental 
damage. 

Guarantees.  The  Group  has  issued  guarantees  for  CJSC  Boguchansky  Aluminium  Plant  in  favour  of  its 
suppliers  for  future  equipment  deliveries  and  for  PJSC  Boguchanskaya  HPP  in  favour  of  the  State 
Corporation Vnesheconombank for the loan facility:

Note 30.  Financial risk management 

The  risk management function  within  the  Group  is  carried  out  in  respect  of financial  and  operational  risks. 
Financial  risk  comprise  market  risk  (including  currency  risk,  interest  rate  risk),  credit  risk  and  liquidity  risk. 
The  primary  objectives  of  the  financial  risk  management  function  are  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  for 
achievement of the Group’s objectives by establishing Group’s overall framework, identifying, analyzing and 
evaluating risks, establishing risk limits, and then ensuring that exposure to risks stays within these limits and 
in case of exceeding these limits to impact on the risks.  

In  order  to  optimise  the  Group’s  exposure  to  risks,  the  Company  constantly  works  on  their  identification, 
assessment and monitoring, as well as the development and implementation of activities which impact on the 
risks,  business  continuity  management  and  insurance,  seeks  to  comply  with  international  and  national 
standards of advanced risk management (COSO ERM 2004, ISO 31000 and others), increases the culture of 
risk management and continuously improves risk management. 

Credit  risk.  Credit  risk  is  the  risk  of  financial  loss  for  the  Group  in  the  case  of  non-fulfillment  by  the 
Contractor  of  the  obligations  on  the  financial  instrument  under  the  proper  contract.  Exposure  to  credit  risk 
arises as a result of the Group’s sales of products on credit terms and other transactions with counterparties 
giving rise to financial assets. 

The  Group’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  by  class  of  assets  is  reflected  in  the  carrying  amounts  of 
financial assets in the Note 32.

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

Although collection of receivables could be influenced by economic factors, management believes that there 
is  no  significant  risk  of  loss  to  the  Group  beyond  the  provision  for  impairment  of  receivables  already 
recorded. 

There  is  no  independent  rating  for  the  Group’s  customers  and  therefore  the  Group  considers  the  credit 
quality of customers at the contract execution stage. The Group considers their financial position and credit 
history.  The  Group  monitors  the  existing  receivables  on  a  continuous  basis  and  takes  actions  regularly  to 
ensure collection or to minimise losses. 

To  reduce  the  credit  risk  in  the  wholesale  electricity  and  capacity  markets  the  Group  has  introduced 
marketing  policy  and  procedure  to  calculate  internal  ratings  of  counterparties  in  the  unregulated  market, 
based on the frequency of default, and to establish limits based on the rating of the customers’ portfolio. 

The  Group  management  reviews  ageing  analysis  of  outstanding  trade  receivables  and  follows  up  on  past 
due balances. Management therefore considers it appropriate to provide past due accounts receivable and 
other information about credit risk as disclosed in Note 12.  

Cash has been deposited in the financial institutions with no more than minimal exposure to the default risk 
at the time of account opening. Management of the Group approved the list of banks for deposits, as well as 
rules  for  their  placement.  Moreover,  management  constantly  evaluates  the  financial  condition,  ratings 
assigned by independent agencies, background and other factors of such banks. 

The tables in Notes 10, 11 and 14 show deposits with banks and other financial institutions and their ratings 
at the end of the reporting period. 

Credit  risk  for  financial  guarantees  is  defined  as  the  possibility  of  sustaining  a  loss  as  a  result  of  another 
party to a financial instrument failing to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Group uses 
the same credit policies in assuming conditional obligations as it does for other financial instruments, through 
established credit approvals, risk control limits and monitoring procedures. 

The  Group’s  maximum  exposure  to  credit  risk  for  financial  guarantees  was  RR  25,935  million  as  at 
31 December 2017 (31 December 2016: RR 26,780 million) (Note 29). 

Market  risk.  The  Group  takes  on  exposure  to  market  risks.  Market  risks  arise  from  open  positions  in 
(i) foreign  currencies,  (ii)  interest  bearing  assets  and  liabilities,  all  of  which  are  exposed  to  general  and 
specific  market  movements.  Management  sets  limits  on  the  value  of  risk  that  may  be  accepted,  which  is 
monitored  on  a  regular  basis.  However,  the  use  of this  approach  does  not  prevent  losses  outside  of  these 
limits in the event of more significant market movements.  

Sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in a factor while holding all other factors 
constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur and changes in some of the factors may be correlated. 

Currency risk. Electricity and capacity produced by the Group is sold on the domestic market of the Russian 
Federation  at  the  prices  fixed  in  Russian  Rubles.  Hence,  the  Group  does  not  have  significant  foreign 
currency exchange risk. The financial condition of the Group, its liquidity, financing sources and the results of 
operations  do  not  considerably  depend  on  currency  rates  as  the  Group  operations  are  planned  to  be 
performed in such a way that its assets and liabilities are to be denominated in the national currency. 

The  table  below  summarises  the  Group’s  monetary  financial  assets  and  liabilities  exposed  to  foreign 
currency exchange rate risk:

The  above  analysis  includes  only  monetary  assets  and  liabilities.  Equity  investments  and  non-monetary 
assets are not considered to give rise to any material currency risk.  

There is no significant effect of the changes of foreign currency rates on the Group’s financial position. 

Interest rate risk. The Group’s operating profits and cash flows from operating activities are not dependent 
largely  on  the  changes  in  the  market  interest  rates.  Borrowings  issued  at  variable  rates  (Note  18)  slightly 
expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

As at 31 December 2017 the Group has debt financing with floating rates, which are established on the basis 
of the Libor rates (31 December 2017: debt financing with floating rates, which are established on the basis 
of the Libor, Euribor, MOSPRIME rates). 

If as at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016 had interest rates at that date been 2 percent higher with 
all other variables held constant profit for the year ended 31 December 2017 and the amount of capital that 
the Group managed as at 31 December 2017 would have been RR 58 million (31 December 2016: RR 327 
million) lower mainly as a result of higher interest expense. 

The Group monitors interest rates for its financial instruments. Effective interest rates are disclosed in Note 18. 

For the purpose of interest risk reduction the Group makes the following arrangements: 

  credit market monitoring to identify favourable credit conditions, 

  diversification of credit portfolio by raising of borrowings with fixed rates and, if necessary, floating rates. 

Liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated 
with financial liabilities.  

Prudent  liquidity  risk  management  includes  maintaining  sufficient  cash  and  marketable  securities  and  the 
availability  of  funding  from  an  adequate  amount  of  committed  credit  facilities.  The  Group  adheres  to  the 
balanced model of financing of working capital – both at the expense of short-term sources and long-term 
sources. Temporarily free funds are placed into short-term financial instruments, mainly bank deposits and 
short-term  bank  promissory  notes.  Current  liabilities  are  represented  mainly  by  the  accounts  payable  to 
suppliers and contractors. 

The  Group  has  implemented  a  control  system  under  its  contract  conclusion  process  by  introducing  and 
applying  typical financial  arrangements  which  include  standardised  payment  structure,  payment  deadlines, 
percentage  ratio  between  advance  and  final  settlement,  etc.  In  such  a  manner  the  Group  controls  capital 
maturity. 

The  table  below  shows  liabilities  as  at  31  December  2017  by  their  remaining  contractual  maturity.  The 
amounts disclosed in the maturity table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows, including gross finance 
lease  obligations  (before  deducting  future  finance  charges).  Such  undiscounted  cash  flows  differ  from  the 
amount included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position because this amount is based on the 
discounted cash flows.  

The maturity analysis of financial liabilities as at 31 December 2017 is as follows:

During  2018  the  maturity  date for  loans  and  borrowings  totaling  RR  85,762 million  (Note  18). The  Group's 
management plans to repay these borrowings both from the Group's own funds and through new financing. 
The group has a positive credit history, works with large credit institutions, including those controlled by the 
state, and also has access to public borrowings in the capital market

Note 31.  Management of capital 

Compliance  with  Russian  legislation  requirements  and  capital  cost  reduction  are  key  objectives  of  the 
Group’s capital risk management. 

As  at  31  December  2017  and  31  December  2016  the  Company  was  in  compliance  with  the  share  capital 
requirements as established under legislation. 

The Group’s objectives in respect of capital management are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as 
a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The amount 
of  capital  that the  Group managed  as  at  31  December  2017  was  RR  695,564  million  (31  December  2016: 
RR 650,932million). 

Consistent with others in the energy industry, the Group monitors the gearing ratio, that is calculated as the 
total debt divided by the total capital. Debt is calculated as a sum of non-current and current debt, as shown 
in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Total capital is equal to the total equity, as shown in the 
Consolidated  Statement  of  Financial  Position.  The  gearing  ratio  was  0.24  as  at  31  December  2017 
(31 December 2016: 0.31). 

Note 32.  Fair value of assets and liabilities 

Fair  value  measurements  are  analysed  by  level  in  the  fair  value  hierarchy  as  follows:  (i)  Level  1  are 
measurements  at  quoted  prices  (unadjusted)  in  active  markets  for identical  assets  or  liabilities,  (ii)  Level  2 
measurements  are valuations  techniques  with  all material  inputs  observable for  the  asset  or  liability,  either 
directly  (that  is,  as  prices)  or  indirectly  (that  is,  derived  from  prices),  and  (iii)  Level  3  measurements  are 
valuations not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). 

a) Recurring fair value measurements 

Recurring  fair  value  measurements  are  those  that  the  accounting  standards  require  or  permit  in  the 
statement of financial position at the end of each reporting period. 

The level in the fair value hierarchy into which the recurring fair value measurements are categorised are as follows: 

31 December 2017 
Financial assets 
Available-for-sale financial assets  
Non-financial assets 
Property, plant and equipment (except for construction in 
progress, office buildings and land)

There  were  no  changes  in  the  valuation  techniques,  inputs  and  assumptions  for  recurring  fair  value 
measurements during the year ended 31 December 2017. 

Fair  value  of  available-for-sale  financial  assets  mainly  consists  of  the  market  value  of  PJSC  Inter  RAO 
shares.  Profit  or  loss  arising  on  available-for-sale  financial  assets  recorded  within  other  comprehensive 
income was mainly affected by the change in market quotes of this company’s shares (Note 9). 

At  31  December  2017  the  fair  value  of  the  forward  contract  in  line  “Non-deliverable  forward  contract  for 
shares”  is  determined  based  on  the  Monte-Carlo  model,  taking  into  account  adjustments  and  using 
unobservable inputs, and included in Level 3 of fair value hierarchy (Note 19). 

The valuation  of the  Level  3 financial  liability  and  the  related  sensitivity  to  reasonably  possible  changes  in 
unobservable inputs are as follows at 31 December 2017:

The above tables discloses sensitivity to valuation inputs for property, plant and equipment as changing one 
or more of the unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would change fair 
value significantly.  

The valuation  of the  Level  3 financial  liability  and  the  related  sensitivity  to  reasonably  possible  changes  in 
unobservable inputs are as follows at 31 December 2017:

Based  on  management's  estimate,  the  possible  changes  of  unobservable  inputs  do  not  have  a  significant 
impact on the fair value of the non-deliverable forward contract.  

The  fair  value  estimate  of  the  non-deliverable  forward  contract  is  significantly  influenced  by  observable 
inputs,  in  particular,  by  the  market  value  of  the  shares  which  was  RR  0.7264  as  at  31  December  2017 
(Note 19). 

 (b) Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed 

Financial assets carried at amortised cost. The Group considers that the fair value of cash (Level 1 of the 
fair value  hierarchy),  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  deposits  (Level  2  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy),  short-
term  accounts  receivable  (Level  3  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy)  approximates  their  carrying  value.  The  fair 
value  of  long-term  accounts  receivable,  other  non-current  and  current  assets  is  estimated  based  on  future 
cash  flows  expected  to  be  received including  expected  losses  (Level  3  of  the fair value  hierarchy); the fair 
value of these assets approximates their carrying value.

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

Liabilities  carried  at  amortised  cost.  The  fair  value  of  floating  rate  liabilities  approximates  their  carrying 
value.  The fair value  of  bonds  is  based  on  quoted  market  prices  (Level  1  of  the fair value  hierarchy).  Fair 
value  of  the  fixed  rate  liabilities  is  estimated  based  on  expected  cash  flows  discounted  at  current  interest 
rates for new instruments with similar credit risk and remaining maturity (Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). 

The fair value of current liabilities carried at amortised cost approximates their carrying value. 

As  at  31  December  2017  fair  value  of  bonds  exceeded  their  carrying  value  by  RR 1,073 million.  As  at  31 
December 2016 fair value of bonds exceeded their carrying value by RR 92 million. 

As  at  31  December  2017  the  carrying  value  of  non-current  fixed  rate  debt  was  RR  39,396  million  and 
exceeded their fair value by RR 925 million. As at 31 December 2016 the carrying value of non-current fixed 
rate debt was RR 103,817 million and exceeded their fair value by RR 4,705 million.

RusHydro Group 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended  
31 December 2017 
(in millions of Russian Rubles unless noted otherwise) 

As  at 31 December 2017 financial liabilities of the Group valued at fair value are represented  by the non-
deliverable forward contract for shares in the amount  of RR 20,716 million (Note  19) (31  December  2016: 
there were no liabilities represented by a non-deliverable forward). 

All  other  financial  liabilities  of  the  Group  are  carried  at  amortised  cost  and  are  represented  mainly  by  the 
current and non-current debt (Note 18), trade payables, accounts payable under factoring agreements and 
other accounts payable (Note 21). 

Note 34.  Subsequent events 

Eurobond  issue.  In  February  2018  the  Group  placed Eurobonds,  issued  by  the  special  purpose  company 
RusHydro Capital Markets DAC. The volume of the issue  was RR 20,000 million. The term of the bonds is 
3 years,  the  coupon  rate  is  7.4 percent  per  annum.  VTB  Capital,  JP Morgan,  Gazprombank  and  Sberbank 
CIB acted as joint lead managers of the issue. The placement and listing of the Eurobonds took place on the 
Irish  Stock  Exchange  under  Reg  S  rule.  Eurobonds  could  have  been  partly  purchased  by  government-
related entities. 

Termination  of  guarantees.  In  February  2018  the  Group  signed  an  agreement  on  the  termination  of  the 
surety agreement with SC Vnesheconombank with regard to performance by PJSC Boguchanskaya HPP of 
its obligations under the loan agreement (Note 29).

Charter and Audit Commission Regulation. PJSC RusHydro Audit Commission Members do not own shares 
in the Company, they do not hold positions in the Company's management bodies.  
The main objectives of the audit were to obtain reasonable assurance that:  
- the data contained in the reports and other financial documents of the Company are reliable;  
- accounting and presentation of financial statements were carried out in compliance with the requirements 
of the current legislation and local regulations of the Company;  
- financial and economic activities were conducted in compliance with the interests of the Company and its

and economic activities of the Company in order to obtain reasonable assurance that the annual report and 
accounting (financial) statements for 2017 does not contain significant distortion.  
During the audit, the following issues were also analyzed. 

I. SHAREHOLDER CONTROL TASKS 

Audit of the Company's Annual Report for 2017 
The Group’s Annual report contains all the main points required in the resolutions of the Government of the 
Russian Federation on this document and recommended by the Code of Corporate Governance. 
The disclosure of information in the Group's Annual Report for 2017 is much more than required by Russian 
regulations and recommendations. For example, the Annual Report includes such sections as the system of 
prevention  and  liquidation  of  natural  disasters  and  emergencies,  social  and  environmental  responsibility, 
interaction with stakeholders. 
The analysis of the Annual report is given in the Act of the Audit Commission. 
1. Verification of the fulfillment of instructions of the President and the Government of the Russian 
Federation on the issue of import substitution in the procurement of the Company 
•  The  Directive  of  the  Government  of  the  Russian  Federation  No.  1346-P13  of  05.03.2015  on  the 
development of a corporate import substitution plan (the Roadmap for import substitution under the Long-
Term Development Program) for the period 2015-2020 is basically implemented by the Company. However, 
the Company has not developed a set of measures aimed at a planned and phased replacement of purchases 

249 

 
 
 
 
 
 
of  foreign  products  (works,  services),  purchase  of  Russian  products  (works,  services)  equivalent  for 
technical characteristics and consumer properties for the period from 2016 to 2017. 
• The actual value of the share of purchases of imported equipment in the total volume of purchases for 2017 
(22%) is well below the target level (52%) and 14% less than the same indicator for 2016 (36%). Moreover, 
the target level of the purchase share was sustained for all equipment groups (maximum value of 35.3% for 
hydro turbine, hydromechanical, auxiliary equipment), except for software (93%). 
•  The  breakdown  of  the  actual  share  of  the  purchase  of  imported  equipment  into  two  components  (the 
Company itself - a legal entity and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies) is not provided for checking the 
volumes of imported equipment purchased by the Company. 
• In the activities of the Group on import substitution, the Ministry's recommendations are mainly taken into 
account. However, the Strategic Risk Management Plan of the Company for 2016-2017 does not  consider 
the  risk  of  dependence  on  foreign  products,  implemented  in  the  event  of  the  adoption  of  appropriate 
sanctions  against  the  Russian  Federation.  The  Coordination  Body  that  manages  the  process  of  import 
substitution  is  absent  in  the  Company.  The  integral  indicator  of  the  evaluation  of  the  results  of  the 
implementation of the activities of the Import-Substitution Plan is not applied. The Company's website does 
not separately publish a list of imported products (works, services) recommended to Russian companies for 
development. 
The  analysis  of  import  substitution  in  procurement  of  the  Company  is  given  in  the  Act  of  the  Audit 
Commission. 
2. Verification of the implementation of the directives of the Government of the Russian Federation, 
instructions of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation 
Based on the analysis of the materials submitted during the audit, the Audit Commission concluded that, in 
general, the Company developed measures aimed at the implementation of the directives of the Government 
of the Russian Federation, instructions of the President of the Russian Federation and the Government of the 
Russian Federation, and work was carried out properly to implement them. 
A selective analysis of the implementation of the directives of the Government of the Russian Federation, 
instructions of the President and the Government of the Russian Federation by the Company is given in the 
Act of the Audit Commission. 
3. Verification of the report on transactions with interest 
In our opinion, the data contained in the Report on PJSC RusHydro in 2017 in terms of interested 
transactions are reliable. 
4. Accounts receivable and payable of the Company 
The Audit Commission verified the dynamics of accounts receivable and accounts payable. Violations and 
facts  of  providing  false  information  were  not  revealed.  The  study  of  accounts  receivable  and  payable  is 
considered in more detail in the Act of the Audit Commission. 
5. Implementation of corporate governance principles (implementation of the Corporate Governance 
Program) 
The Audit Commission examined the Report on Observance of the Principles and Recommendations of the 
Corporate  Governance  Code  and  internal  documents  of  the  Company  for  their  compliance  with  the  best 
practices of corporate governance and the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (hereinafter  - the 
Code) recommended by the Bank of Russia. 
It  can  be  stated  that,  in  practice,  the  recommendations  of  the  Code  recommended  by  the  Central  Bank  of 
Russia are largely implemented. In comparison with 2016 the level of implementation of recommendations 
has increased. 
A  number  of  criteria  with  an  assessment  of  implementation  are  "not  respected",  "partially  observed"  has 
passed into the category of "respected". 
The Company plans to conduct corporate actions that will increase the level of implementation of the Code's 
recommendations, in particular, the Company's internal documents will be amended. 
The  introduction  of  the  principles  of  corporate  governance  is  considered  in  more  detail  in  the  Act  of  the 
Audit Commission.

Report on financial and economic activities 
The  results  of  the  Company's  activity  for  the  year  2017  demonstrate  a  decrease  in  the  efficiency  of  the 
management's work to reduce costs from conventional activities, compared to the previous year. Thus, with 
revenue growth of 26%, the cost price increased by 49%, which led to an increase in gross profit by 4%, to 
60.9 billion rubles. At the same time, profitability on gross profit was 42% (in 2016 this figure was 51%). 
Revenues  from  sales  of  electricity  increased  by  2%  (to  78.9  billion  rubles),  capacity  -  by  78%  (to  65.4 
billion rubles), thermal energy decreased by -7% (to 0.015 billion rubles). 
The total amount of management costs in 2017 amounted to 7,567 million rubles. (in 2016 - 6,004 million 
rubles). Those. growth was 26%. 
Net profit in 2017 amounted to 36,149 million rubles, which is 13.7% less than in the previous year. 
Profitability for net profit was 25%. In 2016, this figure was 36%. 
Conclusions/Recommendations 
Violations of regulatory acts of the Russian Federation of an order of conducting accounting and submission 
of  financial  statements,  and  also  legal  acts  of  the  Russian  Federation  when  conducting  financial  and 
economic activities, which could materially affect the results of activities of PJSC RusHydro for 2017, is not 
revealed.  
In our opinion, the  Annual  report and Annual  accounting (financial) statements  for  2017 in  the  Report of 
PJSC  RusHydro  for  2017,  as  well  as  interested  party  transactions,  the  financial  position  and  results  of 
financial-economic activities of the company for the period from 01/01/2017 to 12/31/2017 are reliable. 
However,  the  Company  is  advised,  according  to  Accounting  Rule  10/99,  to  disclose  information  on 
administrative costs in public statements. 
The  Audit  Commission  analyzed  other  aspects  of  the  Company's  activities,  in  particular,  the  Audit 
Commission examined the relationship between PJSC RusHydro and JSC TC RusHydro (100% subsidiary 
of the Company). The cost of services rendered to the Company amounted to 1,433 million rubles. (2017). 
Contracts  concluded  between  PJSC  RusHydro  and  PJSC  RusHydro  were  checked,  the  prices  for  services 
were compared with the ones on the market. The competitive documentation of competitions on rendering 
of services was studied. Conversations were held with contest participants who lost the contest, in order to 
identify  shortcomings  and  violations.  There  are  no  violations,  at  present  the  terms  of  cooperation  can  be 
recognized as market and profitable for the Company. 
The  Audit  Commission  is  recommended  to  the  new  composition  of  the  Audit  Commission  of  PJSC 
RusHydro approved by the annual general meeting of shareholders PJSC RusHydro following the results of 
2017, during the audit of financial and economic activities of PJSC RusHydro, including an analysis of the 
fulfillment of the requirements of the Audit Commission of PJSC RusHydro, internal and external auditors, 
analysis of the implementation of the alienation plan for non-core assets of PJSC RusHydro.

Appendix  No  18.  Independent  Limited  Assurance  Report,  providing 
limited  confidence  in  the  qualitative  and  quantitative  information  in  the 
PJSC RusHydro’s Annual report for 2017  

Independent Limited Assurance Report to the Directors of 
Public Joint Stock Company Federal Hydro-Generating 
Company – RusHydro (PJSC RusHydro)  

Introduction 

We have been engaged by management of PJSC RusHydro to provide limited assurance on the selected 
information described below and included in the Annual report (including information on Sustainable 
Development) of PJSC RusHydro (“Report”) for the year ended 31 December 2017. 

The selected subsidiaries (“RusHydro Group”i) are listed in the Group structure section of the Report.  

Selected Information 

We assessed the qualitative and quantitative information that is included in the «GRI Standards 
Compliance Table» for standard disclosures in environmental, workforce, safety and socio-economic 
areas in the reporting scope (the “Selected Information”). The scope of our limited assurance 
procedures was limited to Selected Information for the year ended 31 December 2017.  

Reporting Criteria 

We assessed the Selected Information using Sustainability Reporting Guidelines of the Global 
Reporting Initiative (GRI) and GRI Electric Utilities Sector Supplement (collectively, GRI Standards).  
We believe that these criteria are appropriate given the purpose of our limited assurance engagement. 

PJSC RusHydro responsibilities 

Management of PJSC RusHydro is responsible for: 

 

 

 

 

designing, implementing and maintaining internal systems, processes and controls over 
information relevant to the preparation of the Selected Information that is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;  

establishing objective reporting criteria for preparing the Selected Information; 

measuring and reporting the Selected Information based on the reporting criteria; and 

the accuracy, completeness and presentation of the Selected Information. 

i The term “RusHydro Group” in this Report relates only to PJSC RusHydro and its selected subsidiaries included in the Report and is not 
equivalent to the similar term used in the Consolidated IFRS financial statements.

TRANSLATOR'S EXPLANATORY NOTE: This version of our report/the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Russian. All 
possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is an accurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or 
opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                                             
Our responsibilities 

We are responsible for: 

 

 

 

planning and performing the engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the 
Selected Information is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; 

forming an independent conclusion, based on the procedures we have performed and the 
evidence we have obtained; and 

reporting our conclusion to the management of PJSC RusHydro. 

This report, including our conclusions, has been prepared solely for management of PJSC RusHydro in 
accordance with the agreement between us, to assist management in reporting on RusHydro Group 
sustainability performance and activities. We permit this report to be disclosed in the Report for the 
year ended 31 December 2017, to assist management in responding to their government 
responsibilities by obtaining an independent limited assurance report in connection with the Selected 
Information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to 
anyone other than management of PJSC RusHydro for our work or this report except where terms are 
expressly agreed in writing and our prior consent in writing is obtained.  

Professional standards applied and level of assurance 

We performed a limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on 
Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) ‘Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of 
Historical Financial Information’, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards 
Board. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance 
engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal 
control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks. 

Our Independence and Quality Control 

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for 
Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is 
founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, 
confidentiality and professional behaviour, together with the ethical requirements of the Auditor’s 
Professional Ethics Code and Auditor’s Independence Rules that are relevant to our assurance 
procedures in the Russian Federation. 
Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a 
comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding 
compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory 
requirements. 

Work done 

We are required to plan and perform our work in order to consider the risk of material misstatement of 
the Selected Information. In doing so, we: 

 

 

 

made enquiries of RusHydro Group management; 

conducted interviews  of personnel responsible for sustainability reporting and data collection 
(interviews were held in Moscow); 

performed analysis of the relevant policies and basic reporting principles and gaining an 
understanding of the design of the key structures, systems, processes and controls for managing, 
recording and reporting the Selected Information; 

TRANSLATOR'S EXPLANATORY NOTE: This version of our report/the accompanying documents is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Russian. All 
possible care has been taken to ensure that the translation is an accurate representation of the original. However, in all matters of interpretation of information, views or 
opinions, the original language version of our report takes precedence over this translation. 

2 

 
 
 
 

 

performed limited substantive testing of the selected information on a selective basis of the 
Selected Information to check that data had been appropriately measured, recorded, collated 
and reported; and 

reviewed the Selected Information for compliance of the disclosures with the requirements of 
GRI Standards. 

Reporting and measurement methodologies 

There are no globally recognised and established practices for evaluating and measuring the Selected 
Information. The range of different, but acceptable, techniques can result in materially different 
reporting outcomes that may affect comparability with other organisations. The reporting criteria used 
as a basis of RusHydro Group sustainability reporting should therefore be read in conjunction with the 
Selected Information and associated statements reported on PJSC RusHydro’s websiteii. 

Limited assurance conclusion 

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained: 

 

 

nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected Information for the 
year ended 31 December 2017 has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance 
with the requirements of GRI Standards; and 

nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Selected Information does 
not meet the Core requirements in accordance with the Guidelines of GRI Standards.

Recommendations 
Noting the advantages of PJSC Federal hydrogenerating company – RusHydro Annual Report for 2017, the Council 
draw the Company’s attention to a number of significant stakeholder issues and the importance of full disclosure of 
information  and  recommend  considering  them  in  the  next  reporting  cycle.  The  Council  notes  that  the 
recommendations  made  on  the  analysis  of  previous  reports  RusHydro  may  be  used  in  the  further  practice  of  the 
Company’s financial statements. 
The report includes a comparison of the Company's activities with the UN Sustainable Development Goals until 2030. 
It  is  recommended  to  further  develop  this  topic  and  more  fully  describe  the  relationship  of  the  Group  results  to 
progress  towards  global  goals.  In  particular,  this  refers  to  the  coverage  of  the  Company's  participation  in  the 
development of local communities.

and hereby confirms that the RusHydro Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability Report for 2016 
has successfully completed public certification. 
The report contains the indicators presented in the dynamics, which characterize the financial and operational results 
of  the  Company.  It  is  recommended  that  this  approach  be  more  consistently  applied  to  staff-related  indicators.  It 
should also pay attention to the importance of including clear comments on the dynamics of indicators, especially in 
the case of significant changes, including indicators reflecting issues of reducing the environmental burden. 
Noting  a  significant  amount  of  information  in  the  Environmental  Performance  Report  of  the  Company,  it  is 
recommended to pay attention also to the specifics of the environmental impacts of hydropower and the assessment of 
the energy efficiency of hydropower plants generating energy from the water flow.

preparation of the Report. It is recommended to further describe these procedures in full in order to better understand 
the  approaches  to  the  selection  of  participants  in  the  process,  and  to  expand  the  range  of  tools  used  to  identify 
significant  topics  and  include  relevant  information  in  the  reports.  In  particular,  this  may  include  issues  and  topics 
identified in the course of regular interaction with stakeholders in various areas during the reporting period. It is also 
useful to use as a guideline the basic documents in the field of sustainable development and social responsibility (the 
Social  Charter  of  Russian  Business,  the  UN  Global  Compact,  ISO  26000),  as  well  as  the  priority  themes  of  the 
national  and  global  agenda  (for  example,  climate  change  and  environment,  increase  in  labour  productivity, 
development of human potential, etc.). This will ensure greater objectivity in selecting the material topics and priority 
issues covered in the reports.

the annual Charity and Sponsorship Programme. In the following reports, it is recommended to pay attention also to 
the issues of the effectiveness of the projects being implemented, to evaluate their effectiveness and contribution to the 
presence regions development. 
Further attention should be paid to ensuring that the financial and non-financial aspects and the results of the Group's 
activities  are  balanced  in  the  reports,  reflecting  the  key  aspects  of  responsible  business  practices  with  sufficient 
completeness.
