Amsterdam (November 12, 2014)—“VimpelCom Ltd.” (“VimpelCom”, “Company” or “Group”) (NASDAQ: VIP), a leading global provider of telecommunications services with operations in 14 countries and its worldwide headquarters in Amsterdam, today announces financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

JO LUNDER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMENTS:

“Our year-on-year revenue and EBITDA performance was impacted by macro-economic challenges, foreign currency movements and our operational performance in some markets. We have continued to execute on our strategy to invest in high speed data networks and we are now starting to see the benefits of this investment, both in network performance and in customer satisfaction. The quarter-on-quarter results for 3Q14 show organic growth in revenue of 3% and EBITDA of 9% over 2Q14, together with an improvement in the EBITDA margin to 42.9%. Mobile data revenue growth across the Group remains strong at 21% year-on-year. Our transformation programs in Russia, Ukraine and Pakistan are on track and those in both Bangladesh and Kazakhstan have delivered strong results. Italy remains a weak market but we see an improving trend, with Wind delivering yet another solid set of results. We are on track to close the transaction in Algeria by the end of 2014, which with the refinancing of Wind Italy’s debt is expected to yield total annualized interest savings of approximately USD 0.7 billion. Our cash flows remain robust and with an improved debt maturity schedule with no major refinancing obligations until 2020 and our strong liquidity position, VimpelCom is well funded. We are today confirming our targets for 2014.”

STRATEGIC UPDATE AND MAIN EVENTS

 

    Financed a total of USD 18.6 billion in debt YTD resulting in annual interest savings and an improved debt maturity profile

 

    Resolution in Algeria is on track for closing by end of 2014 which, with the WIND refinancing, will yield total annual interest savings of ~USD 0.7 billion

 

    Streamlined portfolio with the sale of assets in Canada, Central African Republic and Burundi

 

    Appointed Gennady Gazin as member of the Board and Scott Dresser as General Counsel

 

    Dividend of US 3.5 cents per ADS announced

 

    2014 targets confirmed

 

Year to date, the Company has financed a total of ~USD 18.6 billion in debt, lowering annual interest costs and substantially improving the Company’s debt maturity schedule, and strengthening its liquidity position. No major debt refinancing obligation until 2020, strong liquidity and a solid cash flow generation, makes VimpelCom well funded.

In July, VimpelCom completed the second step of WIND’s refinancing. Together with the first step in April, the total refinancing will result in approximately USD 0.4 billion in annual interest savings, improved capital structure, and enhanced cash flow, all of which is expected to facilitate a deleveraging trajectory.

The Company expects the previously announced Algeria transaction will close by the end of 2014. All proceeds will be used by GTH to pay down the outstanding shareholder loans provided by VimpelCom to GTH. VimpelCom intends to use the total proceeds to repay existing debt, with estimated annual interest savings of approximately USD 0.3 billion.

The Company continued to streamline its portfolio with the sale of its interest in Wind Canada for approximately USD 122 million (CAD 135 million) in September 2014 and the sale of its assets in Burundi and Central African Republic for USD 65 million in October 2014.

The Supervisory Board of VimpelCom appointed Gennady Gazin as a member of the Supervisory Board, replacing Leonid Novoselsky. VimpelCom appointed Scott Dresser as Group General Counsel. He was also appointed a member of the Group Executive Board and the Group Management Board.

The Company announces today that the Supervisory Board has authorized the payment of a dividend of US 3.5 cents per American Depositary Share (“ADS”). The record date for the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive the dividend payment has been set for November 24, 2014. The ex-dividend date has been set for November 20, 2014. It is expected that the dividend will be paid in December 2014. The Company will make appropriate tax withholdings of up to 15% when the dividend is paid to the Company’s ADS depositary, The Bank of New York Mellon.

VimpelCom confirms its annual targets1 for 2014:

 

    Revenue decline of low to mid-single digit YoY;

 

    EBITDA decline of low to mid-single digit YoY;

 

    Net debt to EBITDA of approximately 2.4x; and

 

    CAPEX (excluding licenses) to revenue of approximately 21%.
 

 

1. The annual targets 2014 assume constant currency (as announced on January 28, 2014), no major regulatory changes, current asset portfolio mix and no major macro-economic changes. For all definitions please see Attachment E.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW 3Q14

 

Total revenue in 3Q14 was negatively impacted by performance and the macro-economic slowdown in Russia, Ukraine and Pakistan, the rolling effect from the 2013 price competition in Italy, and the delayed 3G launch in Algeria. Service revenue improved organically 3% QoQ as the Company continued its focus on customer experience.

Total mobile customers increased 5 million YoY to 223.4 million by the end of the third quarter with the largest absolute contribution coming from a substantial increase in Algeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

EBITDA decreased organically 4% YoY to USD 2.2 billion reflecting the aforementioned decline in revenue, higher infrastructure costs in Russia, increasing frequency and utility costs in Ukraine, and additional network costs in the Africa & Asia Business Unit due to 3G expansions in Algeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh, partly off set by settlements in Italy. However, EBITDA increased organically 9% QoQ.

As expected, the Russian Business Unit continued to see YoY pressure on its financial results as the Company continued to execute the second phase of its transformation, focusing on Customer Excellence and implementing a cultural shift to a customer-centric organization. However, the Company realized operational improvements evidenced by improved churn, increased Net Promoter Score (“NPS”), which is the customer satisfaction measure used by the Company across the Group, resulting in 1.0 million net additions in customers in the third quarter. Revenue was down 3% YoY to RUB 73.1 billion, while mobile service revenue declined 5% YoY to RUB 57.8 billion. Mobile data revenue increased 22% YoY to RUB 9.8 billion supported by high demand for mobile data services, evidenced by a strong increase in mobile data traffic and a 16% YoY increase in mobile broadband customers. EBITDA declined organically 7% YoY to RUB 29.9 billion due to the revenue decrease, the incremental costs related to the higher investments in 3G and 4G/LTE and FOREX. EBITDA margin decreased to 40.9%.

As customer perception began to improve during 2Q14 and 3Q14, the Company expects YoY trajectories in 4Q14 to show improvements compared to those of 9M14.

In Italy, WIND delivered solid performance in what remains a weak, although marginally improving market. The weakness was particularly evident in the mobile segment due to the rolling effect of the intense price competition of 2013 and the continued material decline in SMS usage. This trend of declining SMS usage is in line with the trends witnessed in other mature markets. The competitive environment continued to stabilize during the third quarter as most operators maintained a more benign approach to promotions. Mobile service revenue in 3Q14 decreased 9% to EUR 763 million driven by price pressure and further contraction of SMS revenue. However, these headwinds were partially mitigated by solid results in mobile data with mobile broadband revenue up 14% YoY to EUR 152 million. EBITDA increased organically 3% YoY to EUR 521 million due to settlements, which increased EBITDA margin YoY to 42.7%. The Company expects the market to show an improving YoY trend in 4Q14.

Africa & Asia Business Unit performance was impacted by a slowdown in Algeria and Pakistan. As a consequence, revenue decreased 4% YoY organically to USD 845 million and EBITDA decreased organically 12% YoY to USD 368 million.

In Algeria, Djezzy maintained its leadership position in the market. As expected, revenue declined 5% YoY to DZD 34 billion due to the launch of 3G by competitors in December 2013, well ahead of Djezzy’s 3G launch in July 2014. The commercial launch of 3G services in Algeria has been successful with mobile data revenue increasing almost four times QoQ. In Pakistan, revenue declined 9% YoY to PKR 24

billion due to pressures from competitor bundling activity and the difficult macro-economic situation. In Bangladesh, the Company showed the results of its successful turnaround with a 10% YoY increase in revenue, a 8% YoY growth in customers, and a 20% YoY increase in EBITDA.

The ongoing turbulence in Ukraine and the difficult environment led to more conservative spending behavior by customers and a negative impact on Kyivstar’s financial results. Total revenue decreased 6% YoY to UAH 3.2 billion. Mobile service revenue declined 4% YoY to UAH 2.9 billion primarily due to lower mobile voice, VAS and guest roaming revenue, partly compensated by growing international interconnect revenue. EBITDA decreased 14% YoY to UAH 1.4 billion due to lower revenue and cost pressures resulting from a 15% YoY increase in electricity tariffs and a doubling of frequency fees. Consequently, EBITDA margin declined 4.1 percentage points YoY to 45.5%. The Company continues implementing cost efficiency measures as part of its Operational Excellence program to support EBITDA margins. Kyivstar’s transformation program continues to deliver improvement in operating performance, but the operating and economic environment is expected to remain challenging.

Competition in the CIS Business Unit continued to increase during 3Q14, but VimpelCom improved its strong market positions in most countries. Revenue increased 5% YoY organically reaching USD 496 million driven by a 27% increase in mobile data revenue. In Kazakhstan, Beeline continued its successful turnaround and improved its market position against its main competitor despite the highly competitive market. EBITDA in CIS increased organically 12% YoY to USD 254 million, with a 3.2 percentage point increase in EBITDA margin to 51.2%.

EBIT in 3Q14 decreased 7% YoY to USD 1.1 billion due to the decline in reported EBITDA, partly offset by a gain of USD 110 million as the Company has sold its interest in Wind Canada in September 2014, and the continued positive impact of declining amortization of intangible assets associated with the Wind Telecom acquisition. An impairment of USD 22 million was recorded in 3Q14 due to the sale of the Company’s operations in Burundi and Central African Republic in October 2014. In addition, the Company fully impaired its assets in Crimea for USD 13 million in 3Q14. While in 3Q13 the Company impaired certain equipment and Laos goodwill for in total of USD 45 million.

Profit before tax decreased to USD 110 million, compared to profit before tax of USD 665 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of one off costs related to the WIND refinancing completed in July

2014, the decline in operational performance and depreciation of mainly RUB, UAH and EUR against the US dollar.

Net income attributable to VimpelCom shareholders halved YoY mainly due to the lower profit before tax, lower income tax charges and losses allocated to non-controlling interest. The effective tax rate in 3Q14 is higher than in 3Q13, mainly due to non-tax deductible items and non-cash tax charges of USD 110 million as a direct result of the Algerian transaction, which will become due upon closing of the deal.

CAPEX excluding licenses increased 4% YoY to USD 0.9 billion in 3Q14. The Company plans to maintain its strategy to invest in high-speed data networks to capture mobile data growth, including the rollout of 4G/LTE networks in Russia, 3G networks in Algeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan, and continued investments in HSPA+ and 4G/LTE in Italy.

1) Normalized LTM EBITDA excluding one-off charges related to the Algeria resolution

 

Total assets decreased 6% QoQ in 3Q14 to USD 45.8 billion primarily as a result of depreciation of RUB, UAH and EUR against the US dollar. Also, gross debt decreased to USD 27.7 billion in 3Q14 due to RUB and EUR depreciation. Net debt decreased QoQ to USD 21.7 billion and LTM EBITDA decreased by 3% QoQ, leading to the decrease in the Net debt to EBITDA ratio to 2.5x at the end of the third quarter.

Net cash from operating activities was USD 1.6 billion in 3Q14, a 4% decrease YoY, due to decrease in EBITDA offset by lower income tax and interest payments. Net cash used in investing activities decreased to USD 0.8 billion in 3Q14, compared to USD 1.0 billion in 3Q13 mainly due to positive inflow coming from the sale of the Company’s interest in Wind Canada of approximately USD 110 million and inflow from deposits of USD 140 million offset by incremental cash CAPEX of approximately USD 100 million. The decrease in net cash from financing activities in 3Q14 is a net result of the second part of WIND refinancing, including fees paid for new borrowings and call premium, drawdown under VimpelCom RCF and OJSC VimpelCom bond repayment. While the decrease in 3Q13 was primarily caused by repayment of a bond by OJSC VimpelCom for USD 0.3 billion.

RUSSIA – 3Q14

 

    Continued QoQ improvements, increase in NPS, improving churn

 

    Mobile customers increased 1.0 million QoQ, reaching 57.3 million

 

    Mobile data revenue grew 22% YoY

 

    Mobile service revenue decreased 5.0% YoY driven by measures taken to reduce unrequested services to improve customer experience

 

    EBITDA decreased 7% YoY mainly due to continued investments in network and FOREX, leading to an EBITDA margin of 40.9%

 

As expected, the Russian Business Unit continued to see pressure on its financial results YoY due to the macro-economic slowdown, while the Company also continues to execute the second phase of its transformation, focusing on Customer Excellence and implementing a cultural shift to a customer-centric organization. Customer experience continued to improve in the third quarter and the Company expects YoY trajectories in 4Q14 to show improvements compared to those of 9M14.

Mobile service revenue declined 5% YoY to RUB 57.8 billion after being negatively affected by the measures taken to eliminate unrequested services from content providers to Beeline customers. Beeline’s mobile customers increased by 1.0 million QoQ as churn continued to improve, showing a 4 percentage points YoY decrease to an annualized rate of 58%. Mobile voice revenue was down YoY due to declining prices and the migration of customers to the Company’s new and more attractive price plans. ARPU declined 4% YoY to RUB 335 partly as a result of the measures taken to reject unrequested services from content providers. The mobile voice revenue decline was partially offset by increasing mobile data revenue from strong growth in mobile data traffic, which more than doubled YoY. Mobile data revenue increased 22% YoY to RUB 9.8 billion.

Fixed-line service revenue increased 3% YoY to RUB 13.2 billion mainly due to FOREX impact on dollar denominated contracts. The fixed-line broadband customer base declined 3% YoY to 2.2 million, while fixed-line broadband ARPU increased 2% YoY to RUB 454. The Company’s strategy in the fixed-line business continues to be centered on profitability in regions where it currently has significant market share.

EBITDA decreased 7% YoY to RUB 29.9 billion and EBITDA margin decreased 1.7 percentage points YoY to 40.9% due to the lower revenue, the increased demand-driven network investments and the effect of the depreciation of ruble against the US dollar.

Beeline is progressing in its efforts to enhance customer perception and saw continued improvements during the quarter with further closing the gap to its competitors in Net Promoter Score (“NPS”), improved churn and growing customers QoQ. Customer experience improved due to significant progress in filtering SMS spam, a service improvement introduced in 1Q14. On average, a customer received 0.5 SMS spam per month as of September 2014, while it was 12 SMS spam per month on average for 2013. Customer service is supported by the Beeline app, which has been downloaded by more than 3.5 million customers since introduction in 1Q14.

At the same time, Beeline continued to launch new initiatives and products. To stimulate data usage, Beeline introduced 4G/LTE for free to customers in the Moscow oblast until January 15, 2015. The Company also started selling the iPhone 6 and introduced a second round of sales of the attractive and affordable Beeline 3G smartphone priced at RUB 490 in the third quarter to increase penetration of smartphones in the customer base. The value proposition was further improved by the “Personalized Beeline initiative” in which the Company advises on individual tariff offers to customers based on their consumption profile.

The Company will continue its Operational Excellence 2.0 program into 2015, focusing on simultaneously improving both customer service and efficiency.

Beeline continued to invest in high-speed data networks and is on track with its plans for the accelerated roll out of 4G/LTE. The Company has launched 4G/LTE in 24 regions at the end of September and increased the number of 3G base stations by 28% YoY in 3Q14 to 30,000. Data speed is higher than 2 Mbps for 91% of Beeline customers, while it is already higher than 2.5 Mbps for 71% of Beeline customers. In addition, the Company will improve voice quality by launching HD voice in 43 regions by year end. 3Q14 LTM total CAPEX to revenues was 24% in Russia and Beeline expects total CAPEX to revenue of 22% in FY14.

ITALY – 3Q14

 

    Solid performance in a weak but improving market

 

    Strong data revenue growth: mobile broadband up 14% YoY and fixed broadband up 3% YoY

 

    Mobile broadband customer base increased 24% YoY to over 10 million

 

    Total revenue of EUR 1.2 billion, declined 2% YoY; slower rate of decline driven by improving underlying performance and settlements

 

    EBITDA at EUR 521 million and margin increased 2 percentage points to 42.7%; excluding settlements, EBITDA declined 7%

 

In 3Q14 WIND delivered solid performance in what remains a weak market, although there are some signs of recovery in the mobile segment. The intense price competition of 2013 as well as the material decline in SMS usage, impacted 3Q14 results. During the summer, the three main operators maintained a less aggressive approach to promotions and, as a result, the market witnessed a reduction in gross additions and in overall subscriber size, albeit with a positive impact on churn. In this context, WIND further increased its subscriber market share with an improving quarterly trend.

Total revenue in 3Q14 decreased 2% YoY to EUR 1,220 million driven by improving underlying performance coupled with settlements which were fully accounted for in the quarter but with certain commercial impacts attributable in part to 4Q14. Excluding the impact attributable to 4Q14 underlying revenue declined 6%, driven by an 8% YoY reduction in service revenue, due to the persisting effect of cannibalization coming from the 2013 price pressure, the SMS disintermediation and the reduction in mobile customer base, as well as a decline in fixed-line out of bundle traffic revenue.

Mobile service revenue decreased 9% YoY in 3Q14 to EUR 763 million, a 2 percentage points QoQ improvement in trend, with year-over-year performance driven by the aforementioned 2013 price pressure and SMS revenue contraction. WIND’s mobile data revenue was up 14% YoY to EUR 152 million, driven by a 24% YoY growth in mobile broadband customers to 10.2 million, partially offset the decline in voice and SMS revenue. 3Q14 results were also impacted by the launch earlier this year of new MVNOs specifically targeted at the ethnic segment.

In 3Q14, WIND’s mobile customer base declined slightly YoY to 21.8 million mainly due to lower gross additions in the market and a decrease in the number of secondary SIM cards previously used for specific on-net calls. The reduction of WIND’s customer base was significantly lower than that of the market, leading to a further increase in its subscriber market share. Once again, WIND confirmed its leading position in terms of customer satisfaction and net promoter score leading to 8 percentage points YoY improvement in churn to 32%.

In 3Q14, mobile ARPU declined 7% YoY to EUR 12, an improving trend QoQ with data ARPU reaching 39% of total mobile ARPU.

In fixed-line, service revenue decreased 7% YoY to EUR 291 million mostly due to the decline in the customer base, primarily in the less profitable indirect segment and a decline in voice volumes resulting from fixed to mobile substitution. Fixed broadband revenue increased 3% YoY to EUR 138 million with broadband LLU customers and dual play customers stable YoY.

WIND’s reported EBITDA in 3Q14 increased 3%, to EUR 521 million with a positive impact from the aforementioned settlements fully accounted in the quarter but with certain commercial impacts attributable in part to 4Q14. Excluding this effect, underlying EBITDA declined 7% YoY due to the decline in revenue, partially offset by cost efficiency measures, which included an innovative insourcing and productivity plan launched in September. Reported EBITDA margin increased 2 percentage points to 42.7%, with a stable underlying trend.

In the third quarter of 2014, WIND invested EUR 187 million in expanding its 4G/LTE coverage, as well as in increasing the capacity and coverage of the existing HSPA+ network. At the end of 3Q14 LTE services were available in more than 300 cities and, by the end of 2014, the 4G/LTE network will achieve coverage of approximately 35% of the population.

WIND is progressing with its tower sale process and expects this to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.

AFRICA & ASIA – 3Q14

 

    Revenue decreased organically 4% YoY to USD 845 million, negatively impacted by competitive pressure in Algeria and Pakistan, partly offset by continued strong recovery in Bangladesh

 

    EBITDA decreased organically 12% YoY to USD 368 million; EBITDA margin was 43.5%

 

    Customer base grew 5% YoY to 91.6 million

 

Revenue in the Africa & Asia Business Unit decreased 4% YoY organically to USD 845 million. Reported revenue declined 3% YoY. The customer base in the Africa & Asia business unit increased 5% to 91.6 million driven by strong growth in all main operating units, particularly in Bangladesh.

EBITDA decreased organically 12% YoY to USD 368 million and reported EBITDA declined 11% YoY.

CAPEX in 3Q14 increased 24% YoY to USD 235 million due to 3G investments in Algeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan, as well as network modernization in Pakistan. The Company expects to complete the network modernization in Pakistan in 4Q14, increasing the capacity of its network and improving its position to compete effectively in the market.

The following analysis of the performance of the operating units is in local currencies.

ALGERIA (“DJEZZY”)

Djezzy’s revenue decreased 5% YoY due to the launch of 3G by other Algerian operators in December 2013 before Djezzy. Following its own launch of 3G services in July 2014, Djezzy was able to grow its mobile customer base by 7% YoY to 18.2 million.

Currently, Djezzy’s 3G services are available in 14 provinces, including the largest four provinces in terms of population. During the quarter, Djezzy launched a number of commercial offers, including its successful Millennium 3G (hybrid product, voice and data), handsets promotions with data packages, B2C and B2B, and 3G VAS products such as Facebook zero, Djezzy store, Djezzy App, and Be Djezzy. As a result, data users increased 40% QoQ and mobile data revenue increased almost four times QoQ. Mobile ARPU decreased 8% YoY due to high-value customer churn during the delay in 3G service.

EBITDA decreased 13% YoY, negatively impacted by higher network costs due to the 3G roll out and higher HR costs.

CAPEX increased to USD 84 million mainly due to the investments in the high-speed 3G network.

PAKISTAN (“MOBILINK”)

The political environment in Pakistan remained difficult with opposition parties demanding political and electoral reforms. The national power shortfall also surged during the quarter, resulting in approximately 6 to 8 hours of power being cut per day.

Mobilink’s revenue decreased 9% YoY. Competitive pressures and a challenging regulatory environment with country-wide implementation of the biometric verification system led to a YoY slowdown in customer base growth. In addition, lower voice revenue was driven by the shift in Mobilink’s pricing strategy to counter competition. Lower VAS revenue was the result of efforts to enhance customer experience, particularly the shift to a transparent charging regime on subscriptions. Further, lower interconnect revenue YoY was the result of lower local and international incoming traffic from the international clearing house. Mobile data revenue increased 40% YoY driven by 3G services and Mobile Financial Services. Mobilink’s mobile customer base grew 4% YoY to 38.7 million due to the introduction of attractive tariff plans, 3G bundles for new customers, and a reactivation campaign. Mobilink realized the fastest grow in 3G in the country, reaching 1 million 3G customers within 90 days after commercial launch.

ARPU decreased 15% YoY due to price dilution in an aggressive market as competitors actively matched offers.

Network modernization in Pakistan is on track, which is supporting QoQ developments in customer usage. In addition, Mobilink is aggressively rolling out 3G sites and focusing on expanding its MFS retailer network.

EBITDA decreased 30% YoY, negatively impacted by lower service revenue YoY alongside higher customer associated costs, network costs and HR costs.

CAPEX increased to USD 97 million mainly due to the network modernization project.

BANGLADESH (“BANGLALINK”)

 

banglalink’s revenue increased 10% YoY from higher voice, interconnection and VAS revenue primarily due to 8% YoY growth in customer base to 30.2 million. During the quarter, banglalink concluded the improvement and modernization of its 2G network, as well as nationwide 3G coverage for 64 districts.

ARPU slightly decreased 1% YoY primarily due to the impact of promotional price competition.

EBITDA increased 20% YoY driven by increasing revenue and lower customer acquisition costs, partially offset by higher network costs.

CAPEX increased to USD 50 million mainly due to the 2G coverage and modernization project, along with the 3G rollout, both of which were completed during the quarter.

UKRAINE – 3Q14

 

    Transformation program on track, in a difficult operating environment

 

    Mobile customer base increased 4% QoQ to 26.3 million

 

    Mobile service revenue decreased 4% YoY to UAH 2.9 billion primarily due to lower customer spending

 

    EBITDA declined 14% YoY to UAH 1.4 billion; EBITDA margin of 45.5%, up 1.0 percentage point QoQ

 

The ongoing turmoil in Ukraine and the resulting very difficult environment led to more conservative spending behavior by customers and a negative impact on Kyivstar’s financial results. The operating and economic environment in Ukraine is expected to remain challenging.

The ongoing transformation program, which aims to improve customer excellence and operational performance, is on track and is showing positive results. Net Promoter Scores in 3Q14 continued to improve, particularly in network quality perception, but also due to attractive simplified tariff offerings focused on on-net, off-net, Internet and FTTB. As a result, Kyivstar reported the leading position in NPS and annualized churn improved by 13 percentage points YoY to 19%.

Total revenue decreased 6% YoY to UAH 3.2 billion due to a decline in both mobile and fixed-line revenue. Mobile service revenue decreased 4% YoY to UAH 2.9 billion primarily as a result of lower mobile voice and VAS revenue, mainly due to more conservative spending behavior by customers, while guest roaming revenue declined due to fewer tourist visits to Ukraine. This was in part compensated by growing international interconnect revenue as a result of the increased international interconnect rates and weakening Hryvnia. Mobile data revenue growth remained solid at 5% YoY, reaching UAH 245 million as smartphone penetration increased to 21% of the customer base in the third quarter. Kyivstar’s mobile customer base increased 2% YoY and 4% QoQ to 26.3 million and mobile ARPU declined 3% YoY to UAH 37 mainly due to more conservative spending behavior by customers.

Fixed-line service revenue decreased 13% YoY to UAH 254 million due to a decrease in transit traffic termination, partly offset by growth in fixed residential broadband (FTTB) revenue, which continued to outgrow the market, increasing 3% YoY to UAH 107 million. The increase was driven by growth in the fixed broadband customer base of 12% YoY to 810 thousand, while fixed broadband ARPU decreased 9% YoY to UAH 44.6.

EBITDA decreased 14% YoY to UAH 1.4 billion due to lower mobile voice and VAS revenue and guest roaming, while the Company faced cost pressures resulting from a 15% YoY increase in electricity tariffs and a doubling of frequency fees in April 2014. Consequently, EBITDA margin declined 4.1 percentage points YoY to 45.5%, but increased by 1.0 percentage point QoQ. The Company continues to implement cost efficiency measures as part of the Operational Excellence program to support EBITDA margins.

Kyivstar continued modernizing its network to prepare for future mobile data growth. CAPEX totaled UAH 445 million in 3Q14 and LTM 3Q14 CAPEX to revenue was at an efficient level of 13%. Operating cash flow declined by 13% YoY to UAH 1.0 billion. However, operating cash flow margin remains strong at 31%.

CIS – 3Q14

 

    Total revenue increased organically by 5% YoY

 

    Mobile customers increased 6% YoY to 26.3 million

 

    Mobile data revenue growth of 27% YoY

 

    EBITDA reached USD 254 million with organic growth of 12% YoY, and continued strong EBITDA margin of 51.2%

 

    Continued strong revenue and EBITDA growth in Kazakhstan

 

VimpelCom improved its strong market positions in 3Q14 in most countries in the CIS despite continued increases in competition. Mobile data revenue growth was strong in all CIS markets. EBITDA margins and cash flows were also robust as a result of efficiencies achieved through the Company’s Operational Excellence and Capital Efficiency programs.

Total revenue increased organically 5% YoY, while total reported revenue declined 3% YoY to USD 496 million mainly due to currency devaluation in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Mobile service revenue increased organically 5% YoY to USD 452 million driven by strong mobile data revenue organic growth of 27% YoY. The CIS Business Unit grew its mobile customer base 6% YoY to 26.3 million with increases seen across almost all operations, supported by a significant improvement in churn.

EBITDA grew organically 12% YoY leading to a strong margin of 51.2%, mainly due to strong mobile revenue growth in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Underlying organic growth of EBITDA was 7% as 3Q13 EBITDA was negatively impacted by a one-off of USD 11 million related to USB-dongle sales. On a reported basis, EBITDA increased 3% to USD 254.

LTM 3Q14 CAPEX to revenue for the Business Unit CIS was 15%.

The following analysis of the performance in the operating units is in local currencies except when stated otherwise.

KAZAKHSTAN

In Kazakhstan, Beeline completed its successful turnaround and improved its market position against its main competitors despite the highly competitive market. Customers continue to be attracted by Beeline’s value proposition as a result of the ongoing transition to bundled tariff plans, as well as its new data products.

Total operating revenue in Kazakhstan increased 5% YoY in 3Q14 to KZT 36 billion driven by 4% YoY growth in mobile service revenue and a 15% YoY increase in fixed-line service revenue. The mobile customer base increased 9% YoY to 9.8 million and mobile ARPU decreased 4% YoY to KZT 1,098 due to a decrease in interconnect revenue. Mobile data revenue increased 41% YoY as a result of both

an increase in data users and data ARPU. Annualized churn stood at 51%. The strong growth in fixed-line service revenue was due to the increasing traffic termination charge and FTTB revenue.

EBITDA grew 16% YoY and EBITDA margin increased 4.3 percentage points to 48.2% due to a negative one-off in 3Q13 related to USB dongle sales. Excluding this one-off, EBITDA growth would have been 8% YoY.

CAPEX was KZT 4,805 and CAPEX to revenues LTM was 14% in Kazakhstan.

UZBEKISTAN

Mobile service revenue increased 8% YoY to USD 189 million driven by a 7% YoY improvement in ARPU to USD 6 and a 2% YoY increase in the customer base to 10.5 million. The ARPU increase was mainly driven by a 36% YoY increase in mobile data revenue to USD 35 million. EBITDA grew 9% YoY to USD 127 million leading to an EBITDA margin of 66.5%.

LTM 3Q14 CAPEX to revenue was 17% in Uzbekistan.

Beeline aims to maintain its leading market position in Uzbekistan by focusing on high value customers. It is expected that a third mobile operator will enter the market in December 2014, which is expected to impact results in 4Q14 and 2015.

KYRGYZSTAN

Mobile service revenue increased 3% YoY to KGS 2.7 billion due to growth in mobile data revenue of 50% and increasing interconnect and VAS revenue, which was offset in part by declining voice revenue. The mobile customer base increased 7% YoY to 2.7 million due to Beeline’s attractive on-net and data offerings. ARPU decreased 6% YoY to KGS 330 as a result of declining prices.

EBITDA increased 6% and EBITDA margin increased by 1.9 percentage points to 52.9% due to effective OPEX and commercial cost control.

ARMENIA

Mobile service revenue in Armenia decreased 2% YoY to AMD 6.9 billion in 3Q14 due to a decline in voice revenue. Mobile customers increased by 9% YoY due to the improvement of annualized churn to 43% in 3Q14 from 54% in 3Q13 as a result of increased focus on quality sales. Fixed-line service revenue increased 9% due to a growth in transit traffic termination revenue, offsetting the decline in voice revenue and the reduction in the customer base.

EBITDA declined 8% YoY and EBITDA margin decreased 4.7 percentage points to 37.7% mainly due to the increased costs of carrying traffic for both mobile and fixed-line, as well as the increased share of low margin transit traffic termination revenue. Competition remained intense following the introduction of MNP in April 2014.

TAJIKISTAN

In Tajikistan, mobile service revenue decreased 5% YoY to USD 41 million in 3Q14 as a result of ARPU decreasing by 8% to USD 11, which was mainly due to decreasing prices

and declining international calls. However, this was partly offset by 3% YoY growth in the mobile customer base to 1.3 million.

EBITDA decreased 14% YoY, while EBITDA margin decreased 3.9 percentage points to 49.9% as a result of the pressure on revenue and increase of interconnect costs.

GEORGIA

The Georgian market remained highly competitive in 3Q14 with the Company’s mobile service revenue declining by 6% YoY to GEL 35 million partly as a result of a lack of a 3G license versus competition. Despite this, the Company grew its mobile customer base 13% YoY to 1.3 million due to its attractive value proposition. ARPU declined 18% YoY to GEL 9.

EBITDA decreased 23% YoY to GEL 10 million and EBITDA margin decreased 5.9 percentage points YoY to 27.7%.

ATTACHMENT E: DEFINITIONS

ARPU (Average Revenue per User) is calculated by dividing service revenue for the relevant period, including revenue from voice-, roaming-, interconnect-, and value added services (including mobile data, SMS, MMS), but excluding revenue from visitors roaming, connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of customers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. For Business Unit Italy visitors roaming revenue is included into service revenue.

Broadband customers are the customer contracts that served as a basis for revenue generating activity in the three months prior to the measurement date, as a result of activities including monthly Internet access using FTTB and xDSL technologies as well as mobile Internet access via WiFi and USB modems using 2.5G/3G/4G/HSPA+ technologies. Italian Business Unit measure fixed broadband customers based on the number of active contracts signed, mobile broadband include customers that have performed at least one mobile Internet event in the previous month. Russian Business Unit includes IPTV activities. For CIS subsidiaries mobile broadband customers are those who have performed at least one mobile Internet event in the three-month period prior to the measurement date.

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.

EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as EBITDA plus depreciation, amortization and impairment loss. Our management uses EBIT as a supplemental performance measure and believes that it provides useful information of earnings of the Company before making accruals for financial income and expenses and Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others. Reconciliation of EBIT to net income attributable to VimpelCom Ltd., the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is presented above.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. VimpelCom calculates EBITDA as operating income before depreciation, amortization, loss from disposal of non-current assets and impairment loss and includes certain non-operating losses and gains mainly represented by litigation provisions for all of its Business Units except for its Russia Business Unit. The Russia Business Unit’s EBITDA is calculated as operating income before depreciation, amortization, loss from disposal of non-current assets and impairment loss. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of the results as reported under IFRS. Historically our management used OIBDA (defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment losses) instead of EBITDA. Following the acquisition of WIND Telecom, our management concluded that EBITDA is a more appropriate measure because it is more widely used amongst European-based analysts and investors to assess the performance of an entity and compare it with other market players. Our management uses EBITDA and EBITDA margin as supplemental performance measures and believes that EBITDA and EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of the Company’s business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending, such as capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments, as well as indicating its ability to incur and service debt. In addition, the components of EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which the Company’s operating managers are responsible and upon which their performance is evaluated. EBITDA also assists management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company’s performance against the performance of other telecommunications companies that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially inconsistent effects between periods or companies of depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, which items may significantly affect operating income between periods. However, our EBITDA results may not be directly comparable to other companies’ reported EBITDA results due to variances and adjustments in the components of EBITDA (including our calculation of EBITDA) or calculation measures. Additionally, a limitation of EBITDA’s use as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenue or the need to replace capital equipment over time. Reconciliation of EBITDA to net income attributable to VimpelCom Ltd., the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is presented above.

EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by net operating revenue, expressed as a percentage.

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.

LLU (local loop unbundling), in Italy, this is the regulatory process of allowing multiple telecommunications operators to use connections from Telecom Italia’s local exchanges to the customer’s premises.

MFS (Mobile financial services): mobile commerce or m-commerce, encapsulates a variety of innovative services that use a mobile phone as the primary payment user interface. With this technology mobile customers can conduct money transfers to pay for goods at an online store, make utility payments, pay fines and state fees, loan repayments, domestic and international remittances, pay mobile insurance and purchase tickets for air and rail travel, all via their mobile phone.

MNP (Mobile number portability) is a facility provided by telecommunications operators which enables customers to keep their telephone numbers when they change operators.

Mobile customers are SIM-cards registered in the system as of a measurement date, users of which generated revenue at any time during the three months prior to the measurement date. This includes revenue coming from any incoming and outgoing calls, subscription fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS, Multimedia Messaging Service (referred to as MMS), data transmission and receipt sessions, but does not include incoming SMS and MMS sent by VimpelCom or abandoned calls. VimpelCom’s total number of mobile customers also includes SIM-cards for use of mobile Internet service via USB modems and customers for WiFi. The number for Italy is based on SIM-cards, users of which generated revenue at any time during the twelve months prior to the measurement date. For the purpose of this earnings release, we include all customers of Zimbabwe, which is accounted for as investment at cost, into Business Unit Africa & Asia and customers of all our Canada equity investee into Business Unit Europe and North America, both of which are included into total customers of VimpelCom.

MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is generally 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 customers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. Africa & Asia Business Unit measures MOU based on billed minutes

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as the sum of interest bearing long-term debt and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents, long-term and short-term deposits and fair value hedges. The Company believes that net debt provides useful information to investors because it shows the amount of debt outstanding to be paid after using available cash and cash equivalent and long-term and short-term deposits. Net debt should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to long-term debt and short-term debt, or any other measure of the company financial position. Reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt and short-term debt, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, is presented above in the reconciliation tables section.

Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others represents the sum of Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain, Equity in net (loss)/gain of associates and Other (expense)/income, net (primarily losses from derivative instruments), and is adjusted for certain non-operating losses and gains mainly represented by litigation provisions. Our management uses Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others as a supplemental performance measure and believes that it provides useful information about the impact of our debt denominated in foreign currencies on our results of operations due to fluctuations in exchange rates, the performance of our equity investees and other losses and gains the Company needs to manage to run the business.

OPEX, operational expenses, represents service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Organic growth in revenue and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and EBITDA excluding foreign currency movements and other factors, such as businesses under liquidation, disposals, mergers and acquisitions.

Underlying growth Revenue and EBITDA also excludes MTR reductions and one-offs. We believe investors should consider these measures as they are more indicative of our ongoing performance and management uses these measures to evaluate the Company’s operational results and trends.

Reportable segments: the Company identified Russia, Italy, Africa & Asia, Ukraine and CIS based on the business activities in different geographical areas. Although Georgia is no longer a member of the CIS, consistent with VimpelCom’s historic reporting practice VimpelCom continues to include Georgia in its CIS reporting segment. Intersegment revenue is eliminated in consolidation.

Service costs represent costs directly associated with revenue generating activity such as traffic related expenses, cost of content and sim-cards as well as cost of handsets, telephone equipment and accessories sold.

Selling, general and administrative expenses represent expenses associated with customer acquisition and retention activities, network and IT maintenance, regular frequency payment, professional and consulting support, rent of premises, utilities, personnel and outsourcing as well as other general and administrative expenses. These expenses do not include personnel costs that have been capitalized as part of long-lived assets.
