VimpelCom Announces Second Quarter 2009 Financial and Operating Results

 

Commenting on the performance of the Company, Boris Nemsic, Chief Executive Officer of VimpelCom, said, “We are pleased with our performance during the second quarter. We continue to demonstrate strong results with revenues of 69.0 billion rubles and OIBDA of 35.0 billion rubles. In spite of the economic crisis we achieved 12% year-on-year growth in revenue and 21% year-on-year growth in OIBDA.

We increased the number of active mobile subscribers to 63.7 million, almost 19% more than we had last year. The residential broadband business grew in line with our expectations and we now serve 1.7 million fixed and mobile broadband subscribers compared to 0.6 million customers a year ago.

I am especially proud to report that revenue growth coupled with successful business integration and ongoing cost control yielded a consolidated fixed and mobile OIBDA margin of 50.6%. The consolidated OIBDA margin is 2.5 percentage points above a strong first quarter figure and represents a 3.8 percentage point increase compared to the results of the second quarter of 2008.

Cash flow from operations for the quarter amounted to 27.6 billion rubles or $858 million dollars*. We had a modest increase in capital expenditures compared to the first quarter of 2009. In line with our initial expectations we plan to increase CAPEX in the second half of the year to ensure the sustainability of our business and to capture growth opportunities going forward.

Although our operations during the second quarter reflected the underlying robustness of the telecom markets and our successful business execution, macroeconomic uncertainty still remains a significant factor in the current environment. Hence, looking forward we maintain our stance of cautious optimism”.

 

* The average exchange rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was 32.2145 RUR/US$

The quarterly net operating revenues increased by 11.9% year-on-year and 3.3% as compared with the previous quarter demonstrating the strength of our core business.

Synergies from business integration and focus on operational efficiency helped us to achieve 8.7% quarter-on-quarter OIBDA growth, and even more remarkably, 21.0% year-on-year OIBDA growth. Solid cash inflow from operations coupled with our prudent approach to working capital resulted in a 21.7% increase of quarterly operational cash flow compared to the same period of 2008.

Our quarterly net operating revenues in Russia amounted to 59.1 billion rubles, a growth of 5.1% compared to the previous quarter or 11.8% compared to the same period of 2008. The consolidated OIBDA margin in Russia was 51.2%, up from 47.3% reported a year ago.

In the mobile segment our revenues increased by 8.2% quarter-on-quarter. MOU was up by 4.3% compared with the previous quarter, reflecting a combination of the normal seasonal increase and slight downward pressure from the macroeconomic environment. The increase in usage, coupled with stable pricing, led to an increase in ARPU of 5.2%.

Our fixed-line revenues decreased by 2.3% quarter-on-quarter, and now represent 17.2% of the total revenues in Russia. The fixed-line OIBDA margin decreased slightly to 29.6% from 30.1% reported in the first quarter. The quarterly financial dynamics were impacted by the ruble appreciation as some of our corporate and wholesale tariffs are linked to foreign currencies, while the majority of the operating expenses is in Russian rubles.

In the second quarter of 2009 the total number of residential broadband subscribers in Russia including FTTB and mobile broadband reached 1.7 million.

However, the reported financial results in the CIS countries were negatively affected by ruble appreciation versus the functional currency. In local currency terms, we see quarterly revenue growth in our major CIS markets. Please see Attachment F for the applicable exchange rates.

We are OIBDA positive in all segments and all markets where we operate. The consolidated fixed and mobile OIBDA margin from our CIS operations increased to 46.0%, a 3.6 percentage point increase during the second quarter of 2008 reflecting ongoing cost optimization efforts throughout the Group.

In the second quarter of 2009, our consolidated CIS fixed and mobile OIBDA amounted to almost 4.9 billion rubles with a net income of 0.8 billion rubles.

This press release contains “forward-looking statements”, as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements relate to the Company’s development plans in Cambodia and Vietnam. These and other forward-looking statements are based on management’s best assessment of the Company’s strategic and financial position and of future market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of continued volatility in the economies in the markets in which the Company operates, unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulation of the telecommunications industries, general political uncertainties in the markets in which the Company operates and/or litigation with third parties. The actual outcome may also differ materially if the Company is unable to obtain all necessary corporate approvals relating to its business, if the Company is unable to successfully integrate newly-acquired businesses, including Golden Telecom, and other factors. There can be no assurance that such risks and uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the VimpelCom Group. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other public filings made by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference.

- Definitions and tables are attached –

Attachment A: Definitions

Mobile subscribers are those subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months and remain in the base at the end of the reported period, except for the subscriber base in Cambodia which is calculated on a one month basis. Such activities include all incoming and outgoing calls, subscriber fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS, MMS, data transmission and receipt sessions, but do not include incoming SMS and MMS sent by our Company or abandoned calls.

Each ADS represents 0.05 of one share of common stock. This ratio was established effective August 21, 2007.

ARPU (Monthly Average Revenue per User), a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure, is calculated by dividing the Company’s service revenue during the relevant period, including roaming revenue and interconnect revenue, but excluding revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of the Company’s subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. The Company believes that ARPU provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the performance of the Company’s business operations and assists management in budgeting. The Company also believes that ARPU provides management with useful information concerning usage and acceptance of the Company’s services. ARPU should not be viewed in isolation or an alternative to other figures reported under U.S. GAAP.

Broadband subscribers are those subscribers in the registered subscriber base who were a party to a revenue generating activity in the past three months. Such activities include monthly internet access using FTTB, xDSL and WiFi technologies as well as mobile home internet service via USB modems.

CIS Geographic Segment for the purpose of VimpelCom reporting includes our operations in the following countries: Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Georgia.

Fixed-line subscriber is an authorized user of fixed-line communications services.

General and administrative costs (G&A) include salaries and outsourcing costs, including related social contributions required by Russian law; stock price-based compensation expenses; repair and maintenance expenses; rent, including lease payments for base station sites; utilities; other miscellaneous expenses, such as insurance, operating taxes, license fees, and accounting, audit and legal fees.

Households passed are households located within buildings, in which indoor installation of all the FTTB equipment necessary to install terminal residential equipment has been completed.

Market share of subscribers for each relevant area is calculated by dividing the estimated number of our mobile subscribers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia and Armenia, respectively, by the total estimated number of mobile subscribers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia and Armenia, respectively, and is provided by AC&M-Consulting.

Mobile services are wireless voice and data transmission services excluding WiFi.

MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of usage for incoming and outgoing calls during the relevant period (excluding guest roamers) by the average number of mobile subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.

OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure. OIBDA, previously referred to as EBITDA by the Company, is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment loss. The Company believes that OIBDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations, including our ability to finance capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation, amortization and impairment loss are considered operating costs under U.S. GAAP, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our OIBDA calculations are commonly used as bases for some investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within the telecommunications industry. OIBDA should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other measure of performance under U.S. GAAP. OIBDA does not include our need to replace our capital equipment over time. Reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

OIBDA margin is OIBDA expressed as a percentage of net operating revenues. Reconciliation of OIBDA margin to operating income as a percentage of net operating revenues, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented below in the reconciliation tables section.

Prepaid subscribers are those subscribers who pay for their services in advance.

Roaming revenues include both revenues from VimpelCom customers who roam outside of home country network and revenues from other wireless carriers for roaming by their customers on VimpelCom’s network.

Sales and marketing costs (S&M) include marketing, advertising and dealer commissions expenses.

Take-up rate for the FTTB network is calculated by dividing the number of FTTB subscribers by the total number of households passed.

VAS (value added services) includes short messages (“SMS”), multimedia messages (“MMS”), caller number identification, call waiting, data transmission, mobile Internet, downloadable content and other services.

Capital expenditures (Capex) - purchases of new equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to intended use of the non current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Long-lived assets acquired in business combinations are not included in capital expenditures.

“Other” category includes information about other business activities and operating segments that are not reportable elsewhere due to the non-materiality of such business activities and operating segments, and were therefore combined and disclosed in the “Other” category separately from other reconciling items. This “Other” category includes VimpelCom’s operations in Cambodia, DVB-T/DVB-H activities and VimpelCom’s respective equity in net results of operations of the Company’s associates GTEL-Mobile JSC (“GTEL-Mobile”) and Morefront Holdings Ltd.

The forward-looking statements are based on management’s best assessment of the Company’s strategic and financial position, and future market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of continued volatility in the economies in the markets in which the Company operates, unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulation of the telecommunications industries and general political uncertainties in the markets in which the Company operates and/or litigation with third parties. The actual outcome may also differ materially if the Company is unable to obtain all necessary corporate approvals relating to its business, if the Company is unable to successfully integrate newly-acquired businesses, including Golden Telecom, and other factors. There can be no assurance that these risks and uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company, that the Company will be able to grow or that it will be successful in executing its strategy and development plans. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other public filings made by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference.
