Anatoly Ufimkin, CEO comments on 1H 2007 results: «The key event of the 1H 2007 was introduction of new tariff plans for local
services since February 01, 2007. We should note that on the whole, this transition, irrespective of its scale and social value, was
easy and balanced. Besides, from the viewpoint of business development, the main growth drivers were mobile services and
broadband Internet: these segments contributed almost 50% of the revenue growth in 1H 2007. Apart from GSM mobile subscriber
base increase, there was also 11% ARPU growth. The broadband Internet became the most dynamic sector: the number of
connected DSL-ports increased by 4,7 times. Due to the “Calling Party Pays” principle (effective since July 01, 2006) intrazone
services contributed 37% of revenue growth. Well-balanced business growth in main segments and control over expenses, including
continuation of headcount optimization and outsourcing, enabled us to dynamically increase net profit. Besides, net profit was also
positively influenced by subsidiary restructuring program which resulted in sale of our stakes in the range of assets”.
