Net sales of gas decreased by RUB 241,966 million, or 8%, to RUB 2,808,726 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly due to a decrease in volumes of gas sold and a decrease in average prices on sales of gas in Europe and other countries.
Net sales of gas to Europe and other countries decreased by RUB 256,545 million, or 12%, to RUB 1,883,980 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was due to the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 8%, or 14.0 bcm, and the decrease in average prices (including excise tax and customs duties) denominated in the Russian Ruble by 5%. At the same time average prices denominated in the US Dollar decreased by 10%.
Net sales of gas to Former Soviet Union countries increased by RUB 15,004 million, or 6%, to RUB 250,612 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly due to the increase in average prices (including customs duties) denominated in the Russian Ruble by 8% (average prices denominated in the US Dollar increased by 2%).
Net sales of gas in the Russian Federation increased by RUB 29,252 million, or 5%, to RUB 666,125 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year. This change is mainly explained by the increase in average prices denominated in the Russian Ruble.
Operating expenses increased by RUB 167,952 million to RUB 4,617,986 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year.
The increase in operating expenses is primarily explained by a change in the item "Foreign exchange rate differences on operating items". Foreign exchange rate loss on operating items amounted to RUB 68,013 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the foreign exchange gain in the amount of RUB 20,573 million for the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly due to the revaluation of accounts receivable from foreign customers.
The increase in the item "Depreciation" by RUB 48,908 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year was mainly due to charging of depreciation of right-of-use assets caused by the application of IFRS 16 Leases since January 1, 2019.
The increase in the item "Taxes other than on profit" by RUB 8,218 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year mainly caused by the increase in mineral extraction tax by RUB 45,371 million that was partially compensated by the decrease in excise tax by RUB 39,639 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year.
The balance of foreign exchange rate differences reflected within the item "Net finance income (expense)" produced the gain in the amount of RUB 230,816 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the loss in the amount of RUB 234,374 million for the same period of the prior year.
Profit attributable to the owners of PJSC Gazprom amounted to RUB 1,048,286 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which is by RUB 31,036 million, or 3%, more than for the same period of the prior year.
Net debt balance (defined as the sum of short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term borrowings, short-term promissory notes payable, long-term borrowings, long-term promissory notes payable, net of cash and cash equivalents) decreased by RUB 156,648 million, or 5%, from RUB 3,014,403 million as of December 31, 2018 to RUB 2,857,755 million as of September 30, 2019. This change was mainly due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents balances.
