Let us summarise TMK's performance in 2014 and set targets for 2015.
ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Our total pipe sales amounted to 4,402 thousand tonnes, enabling us to keep our leading positions in the key markets and become the world's largest pipe company by physical volume of sales for the sixth time in a row.
However, year 2014 was noted for a number of global factors adversely affecting the Russian and global economy, pipe market, and the Company as one of its leaders. The significant decrease in oil prices, rouble devaluation, as well as growing international tensions, affected our results. We were able to largely offset these negative developments by ramping up production and improving sales mix, which drove our key indicator, EBITDA, above the market expectations.
At the same time, it was impossible, for reasons beyond our control, to maintain the previous year's level of key financials. The oil price slump had an adverse effect on drilling programs and pipe supplies to oil and gas companies, which account for over 70% of our sales. Another negative factor was a significant rouble devaluation at the end of the year. It was mainly the rouble and euro decline against the US dollar, our reporting currency, that drove down TMK's revenue by 7%, EBITDA by 16% and EBITDA margin by 2 pp. On the other hand, this had a positive effect on the Company's financial liabilities, decreasing TMK's total debt as at the year-end by USD 471 MM to USD 3,223 MM.
With regards to our operating performance, the past year was one of the most successful in the Company's history. We kept the leader's position in pipe shipments to Russian oil and gas companies. In 2014, the Russian Division's shipments totalled approximately 3 million tonnes. Almost all of the division's plants hit record highs in terms of output, steel production and rouble revenue. We managed to boost large diameter pipe sales to Gazprom and Transneft, while preserving our leadership in the Russian oil and gas seamless pipe market, with the Company's market share of 60% to grow further in 2015.
The American Division also ended the reporting year with high shipment volumes of 1,019 thousand tonnes. Our share of the American OCTG market amounted to 10%. An important event here was the positive outcome of the investigation against Korea, Turkey, Vietnam, India, Ukraine and Taiwan, with anti-dumping duties imposed on imported welded products. This resulted in better market competition terms. However, due to lower oil prices and stronger US dollar, the North American market saw the rig count going down and competition with Asian manufacturers intensifying, thus offsetting the antidumping effect for pipe producers.
Last year, the TMK's Strategic Investment Program was generally completed. We commissioned a new hot rolling pipe mill – FQM – at the Seversky Tube Works with total annual capacity of about 600 thousand tonnes of highquality seamless pipe.
TMK increased its premium connection pipe shipments by 16.7%
Thanks to many years of consistent efforts to upgrade our production facilities and billions of dollars invested, the Company has created an advanced technological and production platform embodying state-of-the-art innovations, securing a solid basis for growth for decades to come. We upgraded and expanded our steelmaking facilities, and launched modern seamless and large diameter welded pipe rolling mills, thus substantially increasing our capacity and ensuring the highest possible product quality. In fact, major of the Company's plants were practically rebuilt.
ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
This Program has provided us with clear competitive advantages, and we must make the best use of them in the current environment. We are able to produce almost any tubular products complying with the highest requirements. In addition, we can now manage our CAPEX better, as we no longer have to finance large-scale projects in progress.
Production of premium products is the key to ensuring higher margins. In 2014, despite the shrinking Russian premium market, TMK increased its premium connection pipe shipments by 16.7% y-o-y. As a result, our Russian premium market share went up from 57% to 65% and keeps growing in 2015. We have become a full-fledged player in the international high-tech pipe market and approved a global strategy for our premium segment.
In 2014, we continued to develop and produce hightech innovative products. RosNITI, TMK's R&D Centre in Houston, R&D teams at plants, and top specialist research institutions completed 240 studies over the year. TMK's new research and development facility creation at Skolkovo Innovation Center was initiated.
We continued to enter into mid- and long-term agreements on scientific and technological cooperation with oil and gas majors. In 2014, we launched suchlike programs with Gazprom, LUKOIL, Surgutneftegaz and Gazpromneft, and established working groups with Rosneft. We know what type of products customers expect from us, and engage them in the design, production and testing of advanced tubular products intended to develop hard-to-reach hydrocarbon deposits. We believe that in the future this will help us further strengthen our profound long-term relations with oil and gas majors growing them into technological partnerships. We plan to further develop our oilfield services in Russia and globally to service our customers' needs.
5
Last year, our long-standing cooperation with RUSNANO reached a new level. In early 2015, it acquired a 5.476% stake in TMK, thus investing RUB 5.5 bn to further develop our joint projects.
As part of the ongoing integration of relevant production assets, in 2015 TMK purchased ChermetServis-Snabzhenie, a steel scrap company (currently renamed TMK CHERMET). This company has been the main supplier of scrap for our capacities for many years. Its integration will boost our profits and ensure reliability of scrap supplies to the Company's Russian plants.
Rouble devaluation against the US dollar improved our Russian facilities' competitive positions versus pipe imported to the country, including in the high-tech pipe segment, where we have already invested considerable efforts. This trend also encourages us to supply more to international markets. Although the main focus is still on our domestic markets, Russia and North America, we are committed to strengthening our footprint in the Middle East, North Africa and CIS.
ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
In 2015, TMK's major risks lie in lower level of drilling. We need to align the Company's strategy with the new global environment, and make the best of our growth opportunities. It is necessary to expand our international footprint, develop unique and innovative tubular products, and further deepen our relations with customers and suppliers.
We will have to find sources to improve our operating efficiency. In 2014, all TMK's production facilities continued to implement efficiency programs, with the total effect amounting to over USD 100 MM; in 2015 these initiatives are becoming even more important.
Despite negative trends and uncertainties in the economy, the Company is committed to fulfill its social responsibilities to its employees in 2015. Our focus areas also include retaining highly qualified professionals and motivating our workforce for a better performance. At the same time, the Company's key priority is to act in the interest of its shareholders and investors.
We strongly believe that after the ongoing decline in the energy and pipe markets we will see an upturn, and we are fully prepared for it in all technical and organisational respects.

4.4 STRATEGY
In 2014, the Company had to operate in a challenging macroeconomic environment due to the Russian currency devaluation, falling oil prices and higher interest rates. At the same time, the weakening rouble served as a driver to boost exports. The domestic demand for TMK products remains solid, while restrictions on the export of American and European oil and gas technologies to Russia will strengthen our market position in the future. The EU and US sanctions motivated Russian oil and gas companies, such as Gazprom, to refocus eastwards, and we are going to sell our products to China natural gas supply projects.

МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
26
In 2014, the Russian market for large diameter pipe (LDP) gained 44% year-on-year mainly due to a higher demand for LDP from Gazprom and Transneft running a number of large oil and gas pipeline construction projects. Our domestic LDP sales grew by 35% year-on-year while our share in Russia's LDP market amounted to 17% as at 2014 year-end.
Gazprom and Transneft remained our largest LDP customers accounting for 55% and 23% of our LDP sales, respectively. Our LDP shipments to Gazprom rose by 35% and to Transneft by 29% year-on-year.
In 2014, we set up production and provided the supply of the following types of complex LDP for the oil and gas sector:
In 2014, our domestic OCTG shipments decreased by 6% year-on-year. The decline resulted from a slowdown in development drilling due to a lower efficiency of conventional drilling and a move towards more advanced methods of drivage.
As at 2014 year-end, the premium OCTG market shrank by almost 10% year-on-year due to a lower demand for this type of products. Our share in the premium OCTG market grew by 8% due to import of premium products decline and decrease in market presence of other Russian manufacturers.
27
The total amount of OCTG with premium connections shipped by TMK's Russian division increased by 2% in 2014.

A more active construction of Russian pipelines drove the demand for line pipe up. The Russian seamless and welded line pipe markets grew by 5% and 9% compared to 2013, respectively. We increased our sales of seamless line pipe by 12% to 543 thousand tonnes, with the sales of welded line pipe down by 6%.
COMPANY OVERVIEW МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
We are consistently working towards supplying topquality high-tech and reliable tubular products to oil and gas companies to meet our consumers' needs and help them to produce hydrocarbons in adverse climate and geological conditions, including Far North locations and offshore.
As a token of trust from leading oil and gas producers, a long-term contract was signed between TMK and Yamal LNG to supply 48 thousand tonnes of premium pipe in 2014-2020 for the development of the Yuzhno-Tambeyskoe gas condensate field in the north-east of the Yamal Peninsula. In 2014, we supplied 11.5 thousand tonnes of cold resistant casing pipe and tubing with ТМК UP PF, ТМК UP FMT and ТМК UP FMC premium connections, as well as accessories to Yamal. The pipe for the project was manufactured by TAGMET, the Seversky Tube Works, the Orsky Machine Building Plant and TMK-Kaztrubprom. We have been cooperating with Yamal LNG since 2012.
As an example of comprehensive cooperation with its customers, TMK supplied a set of high-tech tubular products and drilling equipment to Surgutneftegas to build a drill column for a well approximately 5,000 m deep. The supply included drill pipe with TMK TDSAMC premium joints — compliant with API Spec 5DP/ISO 11961 standard S- and G-grade pipe with inner coating, as well as thick-walled pipe and drilling equipment (elevators and protectors) produced by third parties. Designed by TMK Premium Service, TMK TDSAMC extended-length double shoulder, hardfaced, high-torque tool joints are used for construction and workover of wells in adverse geological conditions and drilling wells with a high drift angle. The inside of thick-walled pipe were protected by TMK CDP coating designed by TMK's experts to meet the client's strictest requirements.
28
In 2014, we supplied the first batch of P110-grade 177.8 mm casing pipe with TMK UP FMC threaded connections to Rospan International, a Rosneft's subsidiary. For the first time we also shipped L80-grade super chrome (13Cr) steel tubing compliant with API 5CT standard and high requirements for inner surface quality. Supplied with ТМК UP РF premium threaded connections, the pipe was designed for controlled directional, extended-reach wells with horizontal departure (extended reach drilling) in the Urengoyskoye field. Resistant to aggressive environments (carbon dioxide), heavy-duty L80-grade 13Cr steel tubing pipe are used for upper parts of horizontal directional wells.

МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
TMK supplied P110-grade premium casing pipe without couplings with TMK UP FJ connections to Gazprom Neft. The pipe is used to fix leaks in pipe strings during workover activities. We also shipped casing pipe without couplings with TMK UP FJ connections to LUKOIL-Western Siberia for reconstruction of complex wells in horizontal sidetracking.
In the reporting period, TMK shipped the first batch of casing pipe with TMK UP QХ premium connections to Tatneft. TMK UP QХ connections are unique as they are easily assembled to be used for directional drilling. Tatneft will be using the pipe for heavy oil production by means of SAGD — Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage technology — at the Ashalchinskoye and Yuzhno-Ashalchinskoye fields. In 2014, we also supplied a batch of casing pipe with TMK UP PF connections to Tatneft to produce super-viscous oil at the Ashalchinskoye field.
Our unique products ensured our success in the tender for the supply of casing pipe with TMK UP FMC threaded connections to Bashneft-Polyus. This was the first shipment of our premium products to Trebs and Titov fields. Located in the Nenets Autonomous Area of the Arkhangelsk Region, these fields are among the largest onshore oil reservoirs discovered in Russia.
We shipped the first batch of C110-grade H2S-resistant trim tubing pipe tested for sulphide stress corrosion cracking and supplied with TMK UP PF threaded connections for the first hydraulic fracturing at the Chinarevskoye field in Kazakhstan.The Volzhsky Pipe Plant, Sinarsky Pipe Plant, Orsky Machine Building Plant and TMK-Kaztrubprom — our Russian-based enterprises — began producing H2S-resistant pipe of this grade. When used for hydraulic fracturing, the pipe is exposed to multiple intermittent loads of up to 85.0 MPa. TMK has become the only Russian producer of such pipe formerly supplied from abroad.
29
According to a poll of oil and gas companies specialising in offshore development held during NEFTEGAZSHELF — 2014, TMK ranked first among suppliers of tubular products for offshore drilling.
Only top-quality high-tech tubular products are applicable in offshore fields as leakproof properties of casings, safe drilling environment and pipe sinking as well as compliance with strict environmental requirements are all essential for offshore drilling. Our products were successfully used in offshore drilling in 2014. For instance, pipe with ТМК UP PF threaded connections were sunk in the well from ASTRA jack-up drilling rig at the Rakushechnoye field in the Caspian Sea, while tubing pipe with TMK UP FMT threaded connections were used at Korchagin field developed by LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft.
We continue to develop new products expanding the product range of oil and gas pipe that meet and often exceed the strictest international quality standards in terms of physical, chemical and geometrical properties. Our pipe can be used for horizontal and deephole drilling, in the most adverse climate and geological conditions, complex well configurations and aggressive environments.

In 2014, the Russian seamless industrial pipe market declined by 4% year-on-year, while the welded industrial pipe market grew by 4% year-on-year. Our shares in both markets remained almost flat (11% in the welded pipe market and 30% in the seamless pipe market).
Although TMK mainly focuses on production of pipe for the oil and gas industry, we continuously develop and launch new products used in the construction, housing and utilities sector, as well as automotive and nuclear industry.
In 2014, we set up production of impact resistant seamless pipe shipped for the construction of Zenit Arena stadium retractable roof in St Petersburg. We also produced and supplied pipe for steel works of stadium roof in Samara and galvanised pipe for the outer steel frame of Otkritie Arena stadium in Moscow. The three stadiums will be hosting events of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
We continue expanding and upgrading our production capacities to meet the needs of high-tech industries. TMK-INOX, a joint venture of TMK and RUSNANO, produces stainless pipe of 8-114 mm, including specialised pipe, used in nuclear, aircraft, automotive, aerospace and energy industries and manufactured in line with the world's best practices as well as Russian and international standards. In 2014, the share of TMK-INOX of the stainless pipe market increase and accounted for 15% compared to 11% in 2013, with its domestic sales volumes up 37%.
According to Baker Hughes, the average rig count in the US increased by 6% year-on-year to 1,862 in 2014 from 1,761 in 2013, due to an increase in oil drilling activity.

A decision to impose anti-dumping duties on OCTG imports to the US from several countries taken in July enabled local producers to increase their share in the OCTG market.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
A key development in both the oil and gas shale plays was a continuation in the improvement of technology, which allowed oil and natural gas producers to increase the number of frac-stages and the length of horizontal wells, which in turn allowed wells to become more productive. As a result, the demand for seamless pipe and higher value added premium connections increased, also from shale oil drillers, as they require better performing pipe for more complex
As a result, premium connection pipe sales by our American facilities rose to 250 thousand tonnes.

In 2014, TMK IPSCO finalized the design and prototyping of five new premium connections, which the Company expects to test and introduce to the market in 2015. These connections include improvements to legacy connections as well as the design of new connections.
The Company also successfully develops several proprietary steel grades for OCTG, as well as various corrosive resistant grades for OCTG and line pipe.
For the full year 2014, the reduced demand and overcapacity led to stronger competition in the European market and downward pressure on prices. Additional challenges came from rising imports of seamless and welded pipe from non-EU countries. Despite the deteriorating market environment, the European division in 2014 sold 185 thousand tonnes of pipe, up 5% year-on-year.
МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
In 2014, the European division took the following steps to retain and strengthen its foothold in the European market:
COMPANY OVERVIEW
We strive to expand our footprint in major oil and gas regions, including the Middle East. In 2014, TMK's facilities remained committed to building up their reputation with the local oil and gas majors.
МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
TMK GIPI welded line pipe was successfully tested by Kuwait-based Saudi Arabian Chevron and the UAE's Masdar City project. In addition, a number of products by TMK's Russian facilities were qualified by oil and gas companies of the Middle East and North Africa, including Abu Dhabi Company for Offshore Oil Operations (ADCO) based in the UAE, Missan Oil Company in Iraq, Cairn India, Gulf of Suez Petroleum Company (GUPCO), Mansoura Petroleum and East Zeit Petroleum Company (Zeitco) in Egypt.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
TMK GIPI, a major producer of tubular products in Oman, continues to assert its leadership in the country and the Middle East supplying line pipe for the oil and gas industry.
In 2013, TMK GIPI received a recognition award from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) for the successful production and delivery of pipe for the 158 km South Oman Gas Line project. Controlled by the government of Oman, Petroleum Development Oman is a leading oil and gas producer accounting for over 70% of oil and almost entire gas production in the country.
36
In 2014, TMK GIPI signed a contract to ship 18.4 thousand tonnes of casing pipe to be used by PDO for drilling and well development.
We are one of the world's largest premium connections producers and the absolute leader in the Russian premium connections market. Pipe with premium connections is used for oil and gas wells under difficult operating conditions, including offshore, deep-sea and Far North locations, horizontal and directional wells, and hard-to-reach hydrocarbon (shale gas and oil sand) field development. This type of threaded connections offers high strength and tightness, along with enhanced resistance to considerable torsional, bending and tensile stresses.
In 2014, the demand for premium connections kept growing; shipments of OCTG with premium connections developed by our Russian and American facilities amounted to 421 thousand tonnes, up 17% year-on-year.
In 2014, TMK's facilities implemented the technology of lubricant-free dry polymer coating for threaded connections — Green Well. The technology requires no lubricant for coupling of casing and tubing pipe, considerably reducing the sinking preparation time and cutting costs of oil and gas producers while developing resources.
TMK UP PF premium connections with Green Well coating successfully passed the ISO 13679 CAL IV test at TMK IPSCO R&D center in Houston, USA.
Last year, TAGMET, TMK's Russian facility, was qualified by Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), a Middle Eastern oil major, as an approved supplier of ТМК UP PF and ТМК UP PF ET premium connections, offering new opportunities to promote our premium products in the Middle East, one of the largest energy markets.
ТМК UP PF connections are used in tubing and casing pipe strings for wells with intense dogleg severity. ТМК UP PF ET connection ensures high tightness of the casing at extreme loads and torque, and can be used in complex oil and gas production technologies, such as casing drilling.
37
In 2014, TMK launched new TMK UP QX premium connection for high-viscosity oil production. Casing pipe with TMK UP QX connections is used by Tatneft at the Ashalchinskoye field in the Republic of Tatarstan.
This connection has high compressive, tensile and bending strength, is compliant with the CAL IV requirements and therefore can be used for hard-to-get oil production. Another distinctive feature of TMK UP QX threaded connection is that it allows inclined drill mast assembly.
The product is used to produce super-viscous oil with steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), where a pair of parallel horizontal wells are drilled: one to inject steam into the formation to heat the oil viscosity, the other to pump out the oil.
The shallow oil bearing formations at the Ashalchinskoye field make drift deviation impossible and directional drilling is used. The first sinking of casing with TMK connections was assisted by TMK NGS-Buzuluk's team.
COMPANY OVERVIEW МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
Last year, ТМК UP CWB connections were used by Rospan International in casing drilling, which helps to avoid complications, for example, when drilling through formations with different pressures. It was the first time TMK's premium threaded connections were used in this type of drilling.
TMK CWB connections are also used for reaming down to save time in horizontal well construction.
In 2014, we developed and successfully tested TMK UP Magna premium connection for 340-508 mm pipe, which can be used as surface casing. This connection has additional retainers to prevent excessive torsion in sinking and a specific thread profile to ensure easy and safe assembly of large diameter casing pipe.
Our oilfield services include drill, tubing and casing pipe production and repairs, heat treatment, protective coating, production of a vast selection of pipe string components and borehole equipment, as well as pipe threading, pipe and pump rod service and repairs, etc.
In 2014, we enhanced our offering with engineering services for the sinking of casing and tubing pipe with threaded connections, and established a dedicated service center at TMK NGS-Buzuluk. In 2014, the TMK NGS-Buzuluk team oversaw over 50 sinking procedures at the fields of Rosneft-Stavropolneftegaz, LUKOIL-Nizhnevolzhskneft, Tatneft, Yamal LNG, Zhaikmunai, etc.
38
We also contribute to oilfield service companies' operations. Fox example, we performed sinking for Schlumberger, and Halliburton uses our threading, pipe repair and down-hole equipment manufacturing facilities.
Expansion of range of products and services we offer lies at the core of our development strategy.

TMK entered into an R&D cooperation agreement with Gazprom for the period of 2015-2020
In December 2014, we entered into an R&D cooperation agreement with Gazprom for the period of 2015-2020. The agreement outlines a cooperation programme focusing on the development of new tubular products, import substitution initiatives, best practices sharing and joint research. We are planning to develop and launch 25 products, including 10 new products and 15 import replacement products, such as pipe with improved strain capacity for deep water pipelines; tubing, casing and drilling pipe for wells in adverse conditions and offshore projects. The programme actively promotes further steps in the development of TMK's premium products, including products with lubricantfree coating and in application of new compositions and materials. We have been successfully building up R&D cooperation with Gazprom since 2003. The companies signed medium-term R&D cooperation agreements in 2006 and 2012. These helped to launch dozens of new products, including vacuum insulated tubing), 13Cr-grade pipe, high-strength grade pipe used in aggressive environments, etc.
For many years, we have been cooperating with Gazprom Neft and supplying pipe for oil production and transportation, including those with premium threaded connections. Our R&D cooperation programme has been effective since 2013. We have jointly concluded that TMK's production capacity, product range and R&D potential as well as geography of its assets enables the Company to meet Gazprom Neft's ongoing and future demand for any type of tubular products for both onshore and offshore projects. We decided to expand the scope of our cooperation with Gazprom Neft to set up a technological partnership, We signed a technological partnership programme for 2015-2017. The programme mainly focuses on developing and supplying new and import replacement products, providing services, supporting conceptual engineering for well construction equipment and technologies and looking into an opportunity to create a single R&D platform for the development of Gazprom Neft's new complicated oil fields. Another work stream of the programme focuses on integrated well completion, also by applying multi-stage hydraulic fracturing.

OAO TMK BOARD OF DIRECTORS' STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES SET OUT IN THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE RECOMMENDED BY THE BANK OF RUSSIA TO ISSUERS OF SECURITIES ACCEPTED FOR TRADING ON THE OFFICIAL MARKET 6.1
МD&A COMPANY'S CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP SECURITIES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The scale of TMK's operations and its engagement in both Russian and foreign stock markets impose a high degree of responsibility. We are systematically improving our corporate governance framework by introducing the best practices and fully complying with applicable laws and listing requirements.
2011 saw TMK, a company with a London Stock Exchange standard listing, adopt the Corporate Governance Code of OAO TMK. The Company strictly complies with the Code in its business and annually confirms it in reports.
In 2014, we started aligning our internal documents and corporate governance procedures with the new MICEX Stock Exchange listing rules that were approved on 31 December 2013. Due to the Russian financial market regulator's adopting a new Russian Corporate Governance Code, TMK needed more time to incorporate its provisions into its own framework.
The Corporate Governance System of OAO TMK is based on the Russian Corporate Governance Code principles, with certain implementation mechanisms to some extent different from the Code's recommendations. TMK's corporate governance practices are regulated by the Company's internal policies available on TMK's web site (http://www.tmk-group.ru/Documents), and generally reflected in TMK's Corporate Governance Code (http://
www.tmk-group.ru/media\ru/files/51/corp\_gov\_code\ ru.pdf). In 2014, TMK's corporate governance practices were in full compliance with the Company's Corporate Governance Code.
50
This Report briefly describes the most significant aspects of TMK's corporate governance model and practices, including the Report on the Company's compliance with the principles and recommendations set out in the Corporate Governance Code. Compliance with the Russian Corporate Governance Code principles was assessed in accordance with the methodology reccomended by the MICEX (http://moex.com/s22).
We are steadfast in our commitment to the Russian Corporate Governance Code principles, which we are going to continue to roll out to the benefit of all stakeholders. Another step in this process will be the adoption of a new version of TMK's Corporate Governance Code.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL 6.9 МD&A COMPANY'S CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP SECURITIES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
TMK's risk management and internal control framework is a set of procedures exercised by the Board of Directors, executive and supervisory bodies, officers and employees to ensure a true and fair view of its state of affairs and prospects, risk exposure, reliability of all types of reporting, and compliance with laws and internal regulations.
The Board of Directors has approved the Regulations on Internal Control laying out principles and approaches to building a risk management and internal control framework and exercises control over financial and economic activities at the operational and organisational levels.
The Audit Committee assesses the effectiveness of internal control and risk management framework and develops recommendations on its improvement. In the reporting year, the Audit Committee gave a positive assessment of the current risk management and internal control framework.
TMK employs a two-level risk management approach, identifying risks at its corporate center and controlled entities and integrating them to assess their overall impact on the Company.
To manage risks, the Company has set up a dedicated risk management unit whose responsibilities are fully in line with TMK's Corporate Governance Code. It also has the Risk Management Committee reporting to the CEO and in charge of mitigating risks by drafting and implementing a uniform risk management policy and risk identification, assessment and management methodology. Its Chairman reports to the Board's Audit Committee at least once a quarter.
TMK seeks to mitigate risks through an adequate control over all of its operations. In order to do that:
•the Company implements controls based on its policies, regulations and standards, at all governance levels;

Key Elements of TMK's Risk-Focused Internal Control Framework
In 2014, the Company fully integrated the compliance function into the overall framework of risk management and internal control as well as of corporate governance and corporate security. This process was coordinated by the CEO's Committee on Regulating Compliance Risks and its regional subcommittees at TMK plants governed by the Company's Key Compliance Risk Principles and Anti-Corruption Policy.
TMK operates a hotline as a public control instrument using a full range of communication channels for the Company's employees, investors, clients and other stakeholders to report any known abuse or violations.
The Company has an internal audit system in place to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of risk controls pertaining to corporate governance, operations at TMK's entities and divisions and their information systems.
The Company has established the Internal Audit Department (IAD), a standalone function operating under the IAD Regulations approved by the Board of Directors. The IAD's independence and impartiality are ensured through its reporting directly to the CEO and functionally to the Board of Directors via the Audit Committee. Its head reports to the Board of Directors, which appoints and removes him/her from office and decides on his/her remuneration. The IAD operates in compliance with regulations on and international professional standards of internal audit.
МD&A COMPANY'S CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP SECURITIES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
It has regional units across TMK's geographies, which use a single planning and reporting system and functionally report to the head of TMK's (the Holding Company's) IAD. The IAD's regional units ensure a prompt response to any changes in business processes and operations at TMK entities.
The Department develops an annual risk-focused audit plan based on priority business processes subject to audit, and on risk ranking and assessment (by probability and potential impact). The plan is discussed at the Audit Committee's meetings and approved by the Board of Directors and TMK's CEO.
The IAD also oversees compliance by the Company's governance bodies, officers and employees with insider dealing laws and regulations and regularly reports to the Audit Committee as well as to the Board, at the year-end.
80
TMK's management promptly responds to gaps in controls identified by internal audit, introducing the required changes to the risk management and internal control framework, which help streamline the corporate governance processes and quality.
GOVERNANCE
TMK's management is responsible for implementing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance as regards the reliability of financial statements and their conformity with the RAS and IFRS.
Throughout 2014 and to date, TMK has been operating an internal control framework, which reasonably assures the effectiveness of all controls, including financial and operational controls, as well as compliance with laws and regulations.
The Revision Committee controls the Company's financial and economic activities on behalf of shareholders and reports to the General Meeting of Shareholders on the reliability of the reporting data and deficiencies or violations identified.
The External Auditor verifies and confirms that the Company's financial statements are in line with the applicable accounting rules and national and international financial reporting standards (RAS and IRFS) and expresses its opinion on the reliability of the financial statements following their audit.
In selecting an external auditor to audit the Group's IFRS consolidated financial statements and assessing its performance, we adhere to the Policy on Selection of TMK Group's External Auditor, as approved by the Board of Directors (http://www.tmk-group.ru/media\_ ru/files/51/tmk\_pol\_vyb\_aud14.pdf).
The following procedures are in place to ensure the auditor's independence and impartiality:
81
To mitigate the risk of long-term relationship compromising the external auditor's independence and impartiality, members of audit teams and the lead partner responsible for the audit are subject to rotation.
TMK appointed Ernst & Young, a member of the Selfregulated Non-Profit Partnership «Audit Chamber of Russia», as the external independent auditor of its FY 2014 and interim consolidated and separate financial statements.
In 2014, the auditor's remuneration for auditing the annual financial statements and reviewing interim financials (including audit of separate financials at some TMK's entities) was USD 2.86 m, for other auditrelated services — USD 0.03 m, and for non-audit services — USD 0.26 m.

FINANCIAL CORPORATE
МD&A
In the first quarter of 2015, we observe a high utilization rate of our production facilities in Russia as a result of a seasonally stronger demand from the oil and gas majors and a higher pipeline construction activity. For the full year 2015, we expect the Russian pipe market to remain stable, largely due to a further growth of LD pipe market as a result of the commencement of Power of Siberia project, continued construction of Bovanenkovo-Ukhta, South Corridor and a number of other projects along with a substantial demand for maintenance needs of Gazprom and Transneft.
For the full year 2014, pipe imports in Russia fell by more than 20% year-on-year and we believe the market share of imported pipe will continue to decrease throughout 2015. This will enable us to substitute the majority of the imported products in the short-term and increase our pipe sales on the Russian market.
In the U.S., a drop of around 500 rigs since the beginning of 2015 led to a sharp decline in demand for OCTG, as companies adjust inventories to lower drilling activity. Assuming oil and gas prices recover from the current level, we expect to see a slight OCTG demand improvement during the second half of 2015, as companies begin to restock in anticipation of a recovery in oil and natural gas drilling activity. However, given excess of a domestic capacity and a stronger U.S. dollar, which favors imports, we expect pipe prices to remain under pressure throughout 2015. Outside of the energy industry, as the U.S. economy continues to expand, we expect to see an increase in demand for industrial products.
124
For the full year 2015, we expect the situation on the European pipe market to remain challenging due to lower end-users consumption and market overcapacity.

Net Debt is not a measure under IFRS, and it should not be considered to be an alternative to other measures of financial position. Other companies in the pipe industry may calculate Net Debt differently and therefore comparability may be limited. Net Debt is a measure of our operating performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Although Net Debt is a non IFRS measure, it is widely used to assess liquidity and the adequacy of a company's financial structure. Management believes Net Debt provides an accurate indicator of our ability to meet our financial obligations, represented by gross debt, from available cash. Net Debt demonstrates investors the trend in our net financial position over the periods presented. However, the use of Net Debt assumes that gross debt can be reduced by cash. In fact, it is unlikely that all available cash will be used to reduce gross debt all at once, as cash must also be available
to pay employees, suppliers and taxes, and to meet other operating needs and capital expenditure requirements. Net Debt and the ratio of net debt to equity, or leverage, are used to evaluate our financial structure in terms of sufficiency and cost of capital, level of debt, debt rating and funding cost.
These measures also make it possible to evaluate if our financial structure is adequate to achieve our business and financial targets. Management monitors the net debt and the leverage ratio or similar measures as reported by other companies in Russia or abroad in order to assess our liquidity and financial structure relative to such companies. Management also monitors the trends in our Net Debt and leverage in order to optimise the use of internally generated funds versus borrowed funds.
Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio is defined as the quotient of Net Debt at the end of the given reporting date divided by the Adjusted EBITDA for the 12 months immediately preceding the given reporting date. Adjusted EBITDA — see «Selected financial data».

78%
sales volumes of our tubular products used in oil and gas industry in 2014
The oil and gas industry is the principal consumer of steel pipe products worldwide and accounts for most of our sales, in particular sales of OCTG, line pipe and large-diameter pipe. In 2014, sales volumes of pipes used in oil and gas industry accounted for approximately 78% of our tubular products.
The oil and gas industry has historically been volatile and downturns in the oil and gas markets can adversely affect demand for our products, which largely depends on the number of oil and gas wells being drilled, completed and reworked, the depth and drilling conditions of wells and the construction of oil and gas pipelines. The level of such industry specific activities in turn depends on the level of capital spending by major oil and gas companies. The level of investment activities of oil and gas companies, which is largely driven by prevailing prices for oil and natural gas and their stability, significantly affects the level of consumption of our products.
In case of significant and/or sustained decline in oil and natural gas prices energy companies could reduce their levels of expenditures. As a result, the demand for oil and gas pipes can substantially decrease, leading to the tightening of competition and a possible decrease of market prices for tubular products.
Thus, the decline in oil and gas exploration, drilling and production activities and prices for energy commodities could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial position.

We require substantial quantities of raw materials to produce steel pipes. The principal raw materials used in production processes include scrap and ferroalloys for use in steelmaking operations, steel billets used for the production of seamless pipes and steel coils and plates for the production of welded pipes. The demand for the principal raw materials we utilize is generally correlated with macroeconomic fluctuations, which are in turn affected by global economic conditions.
Prices for raw materials and supplies have a key influence on our production costs and are one of the main factors affecting our results of operations. They are influenced by many factors, including oil and gas prices, worldwide production capacity, capacity utilization rates, inflation, exchange rates, trade barriers and improvements in steelmaking processes. Costs of the principal types of raw materials that we require increased in 2014 as compared to 2013 in all TMK's divisions. The share of raw materials' and consumables' costs in the total cost of production in 2014 was 64%.. The increase in prices for scrap, coils and other raw materials, if not passed on to customers in a timely fashion, can adversely affect our profit margins and results of operations.
our large-diameter pipe sales to Gazprom amounted to 55%
Our plants also consume significant quantities of energy, particularly electricity and gas. In 2014, the prices (in Roubles) for electricity and natural gas for the plants of the Russian division increased on average by 4% and 7%, respectively, compared to 2013. In 2014, the share of energy costs and utilities remained almost flat and amounted to 8% of the total cost of production. Nevertheless, price increases for energy resources will increase our costs of production and could have an adverse effect on results of operations and financial results.

As we focus on supplying primarily the oil and gas industry, our largest customers are oil and gas companies. In 2014, our five largest customers were Rosneft, Gazprom (excluding Gazprom Neft), Surgutneftegas, Lukoil and Bourland and Leverich which together accounted for 32% of our total sales volumes. The increased dependence of pipe sales on a single large customer bears the risk of an adverse effect on results of operations in the event that our relationship with any of these major customers deteriorated.
Our large-diameter pipe business is largely dependent on one of our largest customers, Gazprom, and is subject to increasing competitive pressure. In 2014, 55% of our large-diameter pipes were sold for Gazprom projects. Gazprom is one of our largest customers for 1,420 mm diameter welded pipes used for construction of gas trunk pipelines. Increased competition in the supply of large-diameter pipes or a change in relationships with Gazprom could negatively affect our competitive position in the 1,420 mm diameter pipe market, resulting in decreased revenues from sales of these products and adversely affecting our business, financial position and results of operations. Additionally, large-diameter pipe business depends significantly upon the level of construction of new oil and gas pipelines in Russia and the CIS. The delay, cancellation or other changes in the scale or scope of significant pipeline projects, or the selection by the sponsors of such projects of other suppliers could have an adverse effect on our sales of large-diameter pipes, and thus on the results of operations and financial position. We mitigate this risk by developing cooperation with new customers from CIS countries.
COMPETITION
The global market for steel pipe products, particularly in the oil and gas sector, is highly competitive and primarily based on compliance with technical requirements, price, quality and related services. In the Russian and CIS markets, we face competition primarily from ChTPZ, which produces both welded and seamless pipes, OMK, which produces welded pipes, and the Ukrainian and Chinese pipe producers.
Accession of Russia to the WTO and subsequent reduction of import duties on steel pipes to the level of 5%–13.8%, as well as usage of unfair methods of competition by some importers, in the first place, contribute to the growth of steel pipes import to Russia and to the Customs Union from China and Ukraine. Nevertheless, implemented in 2013, antidumping duties in the amount of 18.9%–19.9% on imports of Interpipe's (Ukraine) pipe production, antidumping duties equal to 19.15% on imports of cold-drawn stainless pipes originated from China, the safeguard measure in the form of import quota in respect of certain corrosionresistant steel pipelines, which ceased to have effect in November 2014, ensured the alignment of conditions of competition in the market of pipe products in Russia in 2014. Antidumping duties, the reduction of deliveries of certain types of pipes by Ukrainian producers caused by, among other things, the critical state of the Ukrainian economy, and decline in imports from China by 31% due to the antidumping investigation initiated in respect of OCTG, led to a reduction in imports of pipes in 2014 by 24%. Also, devaluation of the Rouble and sanctions imposed by USA and EU in respect of supply of products for exploration and extraction of tight oil are exerting negative influence on the dynamic of import of goods from other counties. At the same time it should be noted that the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEC), the former Customs Union, began to operate
from January 1, 2015. Member States of the EAEC are the Republic of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation, as well as the expected accession of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In February 2015 the Eurasian Economic Commission upon the application of Russian manufacturers, including TMK, initiated the anti-dumping investigation against imports into the territory of the EAEC seamless stainless steel pipes originating from Ukraine. Calculated by the applicants preliminary dumping margin for the deliveries from Ukraine into the customs territory of the EAEC amounted to an average of 11.3%. In the first half of 2015 the decision of Eurasian Economic Commission upon the results of the antidumping investigation against the imports of seamless OCTG from China is expected to be made which will also help to reduce the volume of dumped imports. Nevertheless, if the measures taken by the EAEC have appeared to be insufficient for the protection from the unfair import in the future, this could have an adverse impact on TMK market position.
Outside Russia and the CIS, we compete against a limited number of premium-quality pipe products producers, including Tenaris, Vallourec, Sumitomo, Voestalpine and a limited number of Chinese producers, including Baosteel and TPCO.
In the United States, TMK IPSCO faces competition primarily from Boomerang, Tenaris, U.S. Steel and VallourecStar, a subsidiary of Vallourec, as well as from imported OCTG and line pipe products, principally from Asia.
In 2013, the majority of the U. S. steel pipe producers, including TMK IPSCO, submitted a request to the U.S. Department of Commerce to initiate anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations of certain oil country tubular goods from India, South Korea, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam.
In August 2014, the following duties were imposed as the result of antidumping investigations: India — 2.05% — 9.91%; Turkey — 35.86%; South Korea — 9.89% — 15.75%, Taiwan — 2.34%, Vietnam — 25.18% — 111.47%.
According to the results of the countervailing duty investigation the countervailing duties 5.67% — 19.57% for India and 2.53% — 15.89% for Turkey were imposed. Decisions and determinations subsequent to results of the investigations mentioned above are expected to contribute to the improvement of competitive conditions on the market, price increase and improvement of market positions of American plants.

In October 2014, TMK IPSCO and other seven producers requested United States International Trade Commission to conduct an investigation regarding the imposition of countervailing and antidumping duties on welded API line pipe from South Korea and Turkey. Preliminary determination should be announced in March, 2015. We are expecting that preliminary determination in the investigation will be affirmative in relation to imports of welded line pipe. However, any unfavorable decision could have negative effect on the price environment in the segment.
FINANCIAL CORPORATE МD&A
As of December 31, 2014, our total debt amounted to \$3,223 million as compared to \$3,694 million at the end of 2013 influenced by the depreciation of the Rouble against the U. S. dollar. As of December 31, 2014, our Net-Debt-to-EBITDA ratio was 3.7.
In 2014, we duly satisfied and discharged obligations under loan agreements and refinanced a certain part of our loan portfolio.
In February, 2015 we redeemed our 5.25% Convertible Bonds due 2015 convertible into GDRs each representing four ordinary shares of TMK. To redeem the bonds TMK used cash accumulated from operating and financial activities, including four-year USD denominated credit facility from one of the leading Russian commercial banks.
Improving liquidity profile remains one of our priorities, and we continue to carry out measures to maintain sufficient liquidity and improve loan portfolio structure. During 2014, to assure effective access to financial resources, we concluded short-term and medium-term credit line agreements with Sberbank, Gazprombank, VTB, AlfaBank, RaifizenBank and Absolut Bank for the total amount of \$500 million and 27.5 billion Roubles. As of 31 December 2014 we committed credit lines in Russian, European and American banks with the available limit of \$879.7 million.
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that our efforts to improve liquidity profile and reduce leverage will prove successful. The negative market reaction on deteriorating global financial situation, US and EU sanctions, increase of Bank of Russia key rate may have an adverse impact on our ability to borrow in banks or
capital markets, and may put pressure on our liquidity, significantly increase borrowing costs, temporary reduce the availability of credit lines or lead to and possibility to incur financing on acceptable terms.
Certain of our loan agreements and public debt securities currently include financial covenants. Some covenants impose financial ratios that must be maintained, other impose restrictions in respect of certain transactions, including restrictions in respect of indebtedness. A breach of financial or other covenants in existing debt facilities, if not resolved by means such as obtaining a waiver from the relevant lender and/or making amendments to debt facilities, could trigger a default under our obligations.
We comply with the covenants under our public debt securities and covenants under loan agreements. As of 31 December 2014, we were in compliance with lenders' requirements under covenants.
Nevertheless, in case financial markets or economic environment on the markets, where we operate, deteriorate in the future, we may not comply with relevant covenants. In case of possible breach we will obtain all necessary waivers or standstill letters. We do not expect the occurrence of such events in the near future.
Interest expenses are the prevailing part of our finance costs. In 2014, our finance costs decreased as compared to the level of 2013 influenced by the depreciation of the Rouble against U. S. dollar. Our weighted average nominal interest rate as of December 31, 2014 increased by 54 basis points as compared to December 31, 2013.
Substantial part of our loan portfolio is represented by loans with fixed interest rate. However, some loan agreements contain a right of creditors to change interest rates in case of change of credit indicators by the Central Bank of Russia and in other cases. After significant growth of the key rate in the end of 2014, interest rates for some of our borrowings were increased. At the time being, negative impact is inconsiderable; nevertheless, if current policy of the Central Bank of Russia continues, interest rates could be changed for the most of our borrowings.
Additionally, certain part of our loan portfolio is represented by loans taken out at floating interest rates. As of December 31, 2014, loans with floating interest rates represented \$461 million. The underlying rates in current loans with floating interest rates are LIBOR and EURIBOR. In 2012, taking into account low levels of interest rates which were close to its historical levels, we hedged a part of interest rate risks. Considering hedging, at the end of 2014 the share of variable-rate debt amounted to 8% of our total credit portfolio.
Nevertheless, several loans with floating interest rates in our credit portfolio are not hedged, and, should floating interest rates increase in the future, interest expenses on relevant loans will increase.
Our products' prices as well as our costs are nominated both in Roubles and in other currencies (generally, in U. S. dollars and EUR). We hedge our net investment in operations located in the United States and Oman against foreign currency risks using U. S. dollar denominated liabilities. Gains or losses on the hedging instruments relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised as other comprehensive income while any gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in the income statement. In 2014, we incurred foreign exchange losses from spot rate changes in the total amount of \$903 million, including \$301 million recognised in the income statement and \$602 million (before income tax) recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
133
As of December 31, 2014, 67% of our loans were denominated in U. S. dollar. In this regards, as well as taking into consideration continuing volatility of the Rouble against U. S. dollar, the risk of losses owing to the Rouble devaluation remains sufficiently high. Since revenue of the Group is nominated in Euros, the U. S. dollar and Roubles due to the geographic diversification of sales, this provides a natural hedge for our foreign exchange position. Nevertheless, depreciation of the Rouble against the U. S. dollar could adversely affect our net profit as coherent losses will be reflected in our consolidated income statements.
134
A significant amount of our production activities are located in Russia, and a majority of direct costs are incurred in Roubles. We tend to experience inflationdriven increases in certain costs, such as raw material costs, transportation costs, energy costs and salaries that are linked to the general price level in Russia. In 2014, inflation in Russia reached 11.4% as compared to 6.5% in 2013. In spite of the measures of the Russian government to contain inflation, growth of inflation rates may be significant in the short-term outlook. We may not be able to increase the prices sufficiently at an opportune time in order to preserve existing operating margins.
Inflation rates in the United States, with respect to TMK IPSCO operations, are historically much lower than in Russia. In 2014, inflation in the United States decreased to 0.76% in comparison to 1.5% in 2013.
High rates of inflation, especially in Russia, could increase our costs, decrease our operating margins and adversely affect our business and financial position.
FINANCIAL CORPORATE
Our subsidiaries make significant tax and non-budgetary funds payments, in particular, profit tax, VAT, property tax and payments to social security funds. Changes in tax legislation could lead to an increase in tax payments and, consequently, to a lowering of financial results. As significant part of the operations is located in Russia, the main risks relate to changes in the legislation of the Russian tax system. The Russian Government continually reviews the Russian tax legislation. The new laws generally reduce the number of taxes and the overall tax burden on business while simplifying tax legislation. Nevertheless, should the Russian taxation system suffer any changes related to increasing of tax rates, this could adversely affect our business.
Moreover, the Russian oil industry is subject to substantial taxes, including significant resources production taxes and significant export customs duties. Changes to the tax regime and customs duties rates may adversely affect the level of oil and gas exploration and development in Russia, which can adversely affect the demand for our products in Russia.
We meet the requirements of national environmental laws at our industrial capacities location areas: the directives and regulations of Russian, the United States, the European Union, Romanian, Kazakhstan and Omani legislation.
The main ecological-and-economical risks of our Russian plants are related to changes and tightening of Russian environmental protection laws. Environmental legislation in Russia is currently undergoing serious reformation. The imposition of a new law and regulation system may require further expenditures to install new technological and waste disposal equipment, pollution and wastewater control equipment, as well as will lead to growth of the rate of payments for negative impact on the environment. It is expected that compliance with the regulations will be accompanied by stricter control by state monitoring authorities. If existing legislation is changed, that may lead to additional costs or unforeseen expenses, which, however, could not have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We estimate that the environmental legislation of the European Union and the United States, Romania, Kazakhstan and Oman will not undergo any material changes in the near future. Nevertheless, if such changes arise, the cost of compliance with new requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business.
OTHER RISKS
CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE
Our production capacities are subject to the risk of equipment failures due to unanticipated events, such as fires, explosions and adverse weather conditions. Manufacturing processes depend on critical pieces of steelmaking and pipe-making equipment. Such equipment may, on occasion, be out of service as a result of unanticipated failures could require us to close part of the relevant production facility or cause to reduce production on one or more of production lines. Any interruption in production capability may require us to make significant and unanticipated capital expenditures to affect relevant repairs, which could have a negative effect on our profitability and cash flows. We currently maintain insurance against losses that may arise in case of property damage, accidents and transportation of goods. We also maintain corporate product liability and directors' and officers' liability insurance policies. Nevertheless, any recoveries under insurance coverage that may be obtained in the future may not offset lost revenues or increased costs resulting from a disruption of operations.
We do not carry insurance against all potential risks and losses that may arise in connection with the quality of our products, property damage, work-related accidents and occupational illnesses, natural disasters and environmental contamination. We currently maintain no business interruption insurance. Losses or liabilities arising from these or other events could increase our costs and could adversely affect our business, financial position and operating results.
136
Our Russian subsidiaries are in many regions the largest employers in the cities in which they operate, such as Volzhsky, Taganrog, Kamensk-Uralsky and Polevskoy. While we do not have any specific legal social obligations or responsibilities with respect to these regions, the ability to effect alterations in the number our employees may nevertheless be subject to political and social considerations. Any inability to make planned reductions in the number of employees or other changes to operations in such regions could have an adverse effect on the results of operations and prospects.
Competition for skilled labor in the steel pipe industry remains relatively intense, and labor costs continue to increase moderately, particularly in the CIS, Eastern Europe and the United States. We expect the demand and, hence, costs for skilled engineers and operators will continue to increase, reflecting the significant demand from other metallurgical companies and other industries. Continual high demand for skilled labor and continued increases in labor costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014
(All amounts are in thousands of US dollars, unless specified otherwise)
These consolidated financial statements of OAO TMK and its subsidiaries (the "Group") for the year ended December 31, 2014 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the General Director on March 4, 2015.
OAO TMK (the "Company"), the parent company of the Group, is an open joint stock company ("OAO"). Both registered and principal office of the Company is 40/2a Pokrovka Street, Moscow, the Russian Federation.
As at December 31, 2014, the Company's controlling shareholder was TMK Steel Limited. TMK Steel Limited is ultimately controlled by D.A. Pumpyanskiy.
The Group is one of the world's leading producers of steel pipes for the oil and gas industry, a global company with extensive network of production facilities, sales companies and representative offices.
The principal activities of the Group are the production and distribution of seamless and welded pipes, including pipes with the entire range of premium connections backed by extensive technical support. Research centres established in Russia and in the United States are involved in new product design and development, experimental and validation testing and advanced metallurgical research.
Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
All Group's subsidiaries and associates have a December 31 accounting year-end.
The presentation currency for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements of the Group is the US dollar because the presentation in US dollars is convenient for the major current and potential users of the Group's financial statements.
The functional currency of the Group's entities is the currency of their primary economic environment. The functional currencies of the Group's entities are the Russian rouble, US dollar, Euro, Romanian lei and Canadian dollar.

Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements (continued)
Functional and Presentation Currency (continued)
On consolidation, assets and liabilities of Group companies reported in their functional currencies are translated into US dollars, the Group's presentation currency, at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated into US dollars at the weighted average rates of exchange or at the rate on the date of the transaction for significant items.
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency at the rate ruling at the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the end of reporting period. All resulting differences are taken to the income statement with the exception of differences on foreign currency borrowings accounted for as hedges of net investment in foreign operations. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.

Significant Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to exercise judgement and to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures. These estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from such estimates, and estimates can be revised in the future, either negatively or positively, depending upon the outcome or changes in expectations based on the facts surrounding each estimate.
The estimates and assumptions which can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which the item is allocated.
The value in use calculation is based on discounted cash flow-based (DCF) methods, which require the Group to make estimates of the expected future cash flows and to choose the suitable discount rate. These estimates may have a material impact on the recoverable value and the amount of the property, plant and equipment impairment.
Assets that suffered an impairment loss are tested for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date if indications exist that impairment losses recognised in prior periods no longer exist or have decreased.

Significant Estimates and Assumptions (continued)
Useful Lives of Items of Property, Plant and Equipment
The Group assesses the remaining useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment at least at each financial year-end. If expectations differ from previous estimates, the changes accounted for as changes in accounting estimates in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Acquired in Business Combinations
The Group is required to recognise separately, at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed in the business combination at their fair values, which involves estimates. Such estimates are based on valuation techniques, which require considerable judgment in forecasting future cash flows and developing other assumptions.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Useful Lives
The group tests at least annually whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount of cash-generating unit to which goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives allocated is determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. Revisions to the estimates may significantly affect the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit.
The Group companies provide a number of post-employment and other long-term benefits to their employees (pensions, lump-sum post-employment payments, jubilee payments, etc.). Such benefits are recognised as defined benefit obligations. The Group uses the actuarial valuation method for measurement of the present value of defined benefit obligations and related current service cost. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates, rates of employee turnover and others. In the event that further changes in the key assumptions are required, the future amounts of the employment benefit costs may be affected materially.
Allowance for Doubtful Debts
Allowances for doubtful debts represent the Group's estimates of losses that could arise from the failure and inability of customers to make payments when due. These estimates are based on the ageing of customers' balances, specific credit circumstances and the Group's historical doubtful debts experience. Changes in the economy, industry or specific customer conditions may require adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Significant Estimates and Assumptions (continued)
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Estimates of the net realisable value are based on the most reliable information available at the time the estimates are made. These estimates take into consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events occurring subsequent to the end of reporting period to the extent that such events confirm conditions existing at the end of the period.

Taxes
The Group is subject to taxes in different countries all over the world. Taxes and fiscal risks recognised in these consolidated financial statements reflect management's best estimate of the outcome based on the facts known at each reporting date in each individual country. These facts may include but are not limited to change in tax laws and interpretation thereof in the various jurisdictions where the Group operates.
Tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations and changes occur frequently. Furthermore, the interpretation of tax legislation by tax authorities as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group's entities may not coincide with that of management. As a result, tax authorities may challenge transactions and Group's entities may be assessed additional taxes, penalties and interest, which can be significant. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with tax authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of disputes arising from tax audits. As at December 31, 2014, management believes that its interpretation of the relevant legislation is appropriate and that it is probable that the Group's tax, currency and customs positions will be sustained.
Changes in Accounting Policies
Application of New and Amended IFRS and IFRIC
The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC in the consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning on January 1, 2014:

Changes in Accounting Policies (continued)
Application of New and Amended IFRS and IFRIC (continued)
The principal effect of these changes in policies is discussed below:
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (amendments) – Investment Entities
These amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that meet the definition of an investment entity under IFRS 10. The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. The adoption of these amendments had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (amendments) – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
This amendment clarifies financial assets and financial liabilities offsetting rules. The adoption of this amendment had no impact the Group's financial position or performance.
IAS 36 Impairment of Assets (amendments) – Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
This amendment addresses the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (amendments) – Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
This amendment provides relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a hedging instrument to a central counter party meets specified criteria. The adoption of this amendment had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
IFRIC 21 Levies
IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognises a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. The adoption of this new interpretation had no impact on the Group's financial position or performance.

New Accounting Pronouncements
The following new or amended (revised) IFRS have been issued but are not yet effective and not applied by the Group. The listing of standards is those that the Group reasonably expects to have an impact on disclosures, financial position and performance when applied at a future date. The Group intends to adopt these standards when they become effective. Statements МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE COMPANY'S SECURITIES COMPANY OVERVIEWKEY EVENTS ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS TMK PROFILE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2018)
IFRS 9 will replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment and hedge accounting. The Group is currently assessing the impact which this standard will have on the financial position and performance.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures (amendments) – Sale or Contribution of Assets (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2016)
This amendment addresses an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendment is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are in a subsidiary. The amendment is not expected to have significant impact on the Group's financial position and performance.
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (amendments) – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2016)
This amendment provides new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. This amendment specify the appropriate accounting treatment for such acquisitions. The amendment is not expected to have significant impact on the Group's financial position and performance.
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2017)
IFRS 15 replaces all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS and applies to all revenue arising from contracts with customers and sales of some non-financial assets. The standard outlines the principles an entity must apply to measure and recognise revenue. Under this standard revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer. The Group is currently assessing the impact which this standard will have on the financial position and performance.

(All amounts are in thousands of US dollars, unless specified otherwise)
Changes in Accounting Policies (continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
The amendments clarify that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business rather than economic benefits are consumed through use of asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and only be used in very limited circumstances to amortise intangible assets. The amendments are not expected to have significant impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
IAS 19 Employee Benefits (amendments) – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2014)
This amendment clarifies the requirements that relate to how contributions from employees or third parties that are linked to service should be attributed to periods of service. The amendment is not expected to have significant impact on the Group's financial position or performance.
Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 cycle, 2011-2013 cycle (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2014) and 2012-2014 cycle (effective for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2016)
In December 2013 and September 2014, the IASB issued "Annual Improvements to IFRSs". The documents set out amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards primarily with a view of removing inconsistencies and clarifying wording. Amendments are generally intended to clarify requirements rather than result in substantive changes to current practice. These improvements will not have significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
A) Basis of Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity in which the Group has power to exercise control over its operations. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when control over their activities is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date when control ceases.
All intragroup balances, transactions and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transactions provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, accounting policies in subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period represent the non-controlling interest shareholders' portion of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary at the acquisition date and the non-controlling interests' portion of movements in equity since the date of the combination. Non-controlling interest is presented within equity, separately from the parent's shareholders' equity.
Losses within subsidiary are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in deficit balance.
When the Group increases its ownership interests in subsidiaries, the differences between the carrying values of net assets attributable to interests in subsidiaries acquired and the consideration given for such increases is either added to additional paid-in capital, if positive, or charged to accumulated profits, if negative.
When the Group grants put options to non-controlling interest shareholders at the date of acquiring control of a subsidiary the Group considers the terms of transaction to conclude on accounting treatment.
Where the terms of the put option provide the Group with a present ownership interest in the shares subject to the put, the shares are accounted for as acquired. Financial liabilities in respect of put options are recorded at fair value at the time of entering into the options, and are subsequently remeasured to fair value with the change in fair value recognised in the income statement.
When the terms of the put option do not provide a present ownership interest in the shares subject to the put, the Group determined that its accounting policy is to partially recognise non-controlling interests and to account such put options as the following:

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
A) Basis of Consolidation (continued)
Acquisition of Subsidiaries
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs are included in administrative expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, are recognised either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is recorded in the functional currencies of the acquired subsidiaries.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
B) Business Combination and Goodwill (continued)
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may be impaired. As at the acquisition date, goodwill is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (groups of cash-generating units), expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units), to which the goodwill relates. Where recoverable amount of cash-generating unit (groups of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.
Cash equivalents are comprised of short-term, liquid investments (with original maturity date less than 90 days) that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents are carried at fair value.
D) Financial Assets
Initial Recognition and Measurement
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: loans and receivables, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments and available-forsale financial assets, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets on initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, reassesses this designation at each reporting date.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. However when a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is recognised, the transaction costs are expensed immediately.

Subsequent Measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as described below:
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial measurement, such assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process. Statements МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE COMPANY'S SECURITIES COMPANY OVERVIEWKEY EVENTS ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS TMK PROFILE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Trade receivables, which generally are short term, are carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful debts. An allowance for doubtful debts is established in case of objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect amounts due according to the original terms of contract. The Group periodically analyses trade receivables and makes adjustments to the amount of the allowance. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount. The amount of the doubtful debts expense is recognised in the income statement.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments as defined by IAS 39. Gains or losses on held for trading assets are recognised in the income statement.
Held-to-Maturity Investments
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity, when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment.
Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with unrealised gains or losses being recognised as other comprehensive income until the financial assets are derecognised or determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is included in the income statement.

D) Financial Assets (continued)
Derivatives are financial instruments that change their values in response to changes in the underlying variable, require no or little net initial investment and are settled at a future date. Derivatives are primarily used to manage exposures to foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and other market risks. Derivatives are subsequently remeasured at fair value on a regular basis and at each reporting date. The method of the resulting gain or loss recognition depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument.
For the purpose of hedge accounting, derivatives are designated as instruments hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability (fair value hedges) and as instruments hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedges). At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Group applies hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group assesses effectiveness of the hedges at inception and verifies at regular intervals and at least on a quarterly basis, using prospective and retrospective testing.
The Group's derivatives consist of interest rate swaps and currency forwards and their use is governed by the Group's policies which are consistent with Group's overall risk management strategy. These derivatives are designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges.
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred "loss event") and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include observable data about the following loss events: significant financial difficulties of the debtor, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
The amount of the impairment loss is measured as a difference between the asset's carrying amount and it's recoverable amount. The carrying amount of financial assets other than loans and receivables is reduced directly without the use of an allowance account and the amount of loss is recognised in the income statement.

E) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories is determined on the weighted average basis.
The costs of inventories are comprised of all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present condition and location. The value of work in progress and finished goods includes costs of raw materials, direct labor, direct production costs and indirect production overheads including depreciation. Financing costs are not included in stock valuation. Statements МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE COMPANY'S SECURITIES COMPANY OVERVIEWKEY EVENTS ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS TMK PROFILE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group periodically analyses inventories to determine whether they are damaged, obsolete or slow-moving or if their net realisable value has declined, and makes allowance for such inventories.
F) Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, except for the items acquired prior to January 1, 2003, are stated at historical cost, excluding the costs of day-to-day servicing, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value.
The items of property, plant and equipment acquired prior to January 1, 2003, the date of transition to IFRS, were accounted for at deemed cost being their fair value as at January 1, 2003.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. Average depreciation periods, which represent estimated useful economic lives of respective assets, are as follows:
| Land Buildings |
Not depreciated 8-100 years |
|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 5-30 years |
| Other | 2-15 years |
Expenditure incurred to replace a component of an item of property, plant and equipment that is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditure, is capitalised. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the item of property, plant and equipment and can be measured reliably. All other expenditures are recognised in the profit or loss as an expense when incurred.
Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
G) Intangible Assets (Other than Goodwill) (continued)
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that intangible asset may be impaired. Amortisation period and amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite life are reviewed at least at each year end. Changes in expected useful life or expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortisation expense of intangible assets is recognised in the income statement in the expense category consistent with the function of an intangible asset.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, they are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.
Costs incurred on development (relating to design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets only when the Group can demonstrate technical feasibility of completing intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, availability of resources to complete and ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Other development expenditures are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Development costs that have been capitalised are amortised from commencement of commercial production of the product on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit. The carrying value of development costs is reviewed for impairment annually when the asset is not yet in use or more frequently when an indication of impairment arises during the reporting year.
H) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (Other than Goodwill)
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an objective evidence that an asset or a group of assets may be impaired. When there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount is assessed and, when impaired, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use.
Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants, after deducting any direct incremental disposal costs. Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life.
In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

H) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets (Other than Goodwill) (continued)
Impairment loss is recognised for the difference between estimated recoverable amount and carrying value. Carrying amount of an asset is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount and the amount of loss is included in the income statement for the period.
Impairment loss is reversed if there is an indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may be decreased and if subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. Impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Statements МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE COMPANY'S SECURITIES COMPANY OVERVIEWKEY EVENTS ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS TMK PROFILE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually.
I) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. In subsequent periods, borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the initial fair value less transaction costs and the redemption amount is recognised within finance costs over the period of the borrowings.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of cost of respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.
Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged to finance costs in the income statement.
The depreciation policy for depreciable leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable assets which are owned. If there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its useful life.
Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
K) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the Group expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.
If the effect of time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of time value of money and where appropriate, risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, increase in provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
L) Employee Benefits Liability
Short-Term Employee Benefits
Short-term employee benefits paid by the Group include wages, salaries, social security contributions, paid annual leave and paid sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits (such as medical care). Such employee benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group.
The Group companies provide a number of post-employment and other long-term benefits to their employees (pensions, lump-sum post-employment payments, financial support to pensioners, jubilee payments, etc.).
All post-employment benefit plans are unfunded. The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age, the completion of a minimum service period and the amount of the benefits stipulated in the collective bargaining agreements. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of post-employment and other long-term employee benefits is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated by external consultants using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using yields on highquality corporate bonds or, in countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, yields on government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
Net benefit expense charged to the income statement consists of current service cost, interest expense, past service cost, gains and losses from settlement. Past service costs are recognised in profit or loss on the earlier of: the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and the date when the Group recognises restructuring-related costs. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are reflected in other comprehensive income/loss in the period in which they arise.

L) Employee Benefits Liability (continued)
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Statements МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE COMPANY'S SECURITIES COMPANY OVERVIEWKEY EVENTS ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS TMK PROFILE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Grants from the government are recognised when there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all conditions attached to it.
When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as the decrease of respective expenses over the periods when the costs, which it is intended to compensate, are incurred.
Government grants relating to assets are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to other income in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated in respect of temporary differences using the liability method. Deferred income tax is recognised in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items directly taken to equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised against equity or other comprehensive income.
Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes, except where deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
A deferred tax asset is recorded only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where timing of reversal of temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that temporary differences will not be reversed in the near future.

O) Equity
Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. External costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares, other than on a business combination, are shown as a deduction from proceeds in equity.
Own equity instruments which are acquired by the Group (treasury shares) are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares.
Dividends are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity at the end of the reporting period only if they are declared before or on the end of the reporting period. Dividends are disclosed in the financial statements when they are proposed before the end of the reporting period or proposed or declared after the end of the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenues from sales of inventory are recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed to the buyer. Revenues arising from rendering of services are recognised in the same period when the services are provided.
Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. When the fair value of consideration received cannot be measured reliably, revenue is measured at the fair value of goods or services provided.

Operating segments reflect the Group's management structure and the way financial information is regularly reviewed. For management purposes, the Group is organised into business divisions based on geographical location, and has three reportable segments:
Management monitors the operating results of operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is determined as profit/(loss) for the period excluding finance costs and finance income, income tax (benefit)/expense, depreciation and amortisation, foreign exchange (gain)/loss, impairment/(reversal of impairment) of non-current assets, movements in allowances and provisions (except for provisions for bonuses), (gain)/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment, (gain)/loss on changes in fair value of financial instruments, share of (profit)/loss of associates and other non-cash items. Group financing (including finance costs and finance income) is managed on a group basis and is not allocated to operating segments.
The following tables present revenue and profit information regarding the Group's reportable segments for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

17) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)
Customer relationships represent non-contracted interactions with clients. Remaining amortisation period for customer relationships is 2-4 years. Customer relationships are amortised using the diminishing balance method which reflects the pattern of consumption of the economic benefits that customer relationships provide.
Goodwill relates to the assembled workforce and synergy from integration of the acquired subsidiaries into the Group.
Patents and trademarks include intangible assets with indefinite useful lives with the carrying value of 210,306 (December 31, 2013: 208,700).
The carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives were allocated among cash-generating units as follows as at December 31:
| 2014 | 2013 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Goodwill | Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives |

| 403,861 | 210,306 | 584,904 | 208,700 |
The Group determines whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are impaired on an annual basis and when circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives were tested for impairment as at December 31, 2014. For the purpose of impairment testing of goodwill the Group determines value in use of each of its cash-generating units. The value in use was calculated using cash flow projections based on operating plans approved by management covering a period of five years with the adjustments to reflect the expected market conditions. Cash flows beyond five-year period were extrapolated using zero growth rate. The projected cash flows of American division for 2015-2017 were updated to reflect the current analysts' expectations about the decrease of demand for oil pipes in the US market.
The discount rates used in the calculations are presented in the table below:
| Cash-generating units | Pre-tax discount rate, % |
|---|---|
| American division | 10.83% |
| Middle East division | 10.88% |
| Oilfield division | 15.75% |
| European division | 12.49% |
| Other cash-generating units | 11.89%-15.21% |

17) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (continued)
As at December 31, 2014, the Group determined that the recoverable amount of American division was 1,054,894 (December 31, 2013: 1,270,592 using the pre-tax discount rate of 11.38%). The Group recognised the impairment loss of 150,396 in respect of American division goodwill in the year ended December 31, 2014. Statements МD&A CORPORATE CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP GOVERNANCE COMPANY'S SECURITIES COMPANY OVERVIEWKEY EVENTS ADRESS TO SHAREHOLDERS TMK PROFILE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The impairment of American division goodwill was primarily driven by expected decline in consumption of OCTG products in the US market due to the drop of oil prices in the past few months.
Based on external sources of information and management judgment the Group made the following assumption to calculate value in use of American division:
The reasonably possible deviations of assumptions from the underlying operating plans could affect the recoverable amount of American division. American division recoverable amount was the most sensitive to the growth of discount rate, changes in sales volumes, prices and costs. A 10% increase in the discount rate would result in an additional decrease of the recoverable amount by 123,563; a 5% rise in costs would result in an additional decrease of the recoverable amount by 801,007; a decrease in sales prices by 5% would result in an additional decrease of the recoverable amount by 990,120; a decrease in sales volume by 5% would result in an additional decrease of the recoverable amount by 197,585.

Unutilised Borrowing Facilities
As at December 31, 2014, the Group had unutilised borrowing facilities in the amount of 879,656 (December 31, 2013: 1,619,478).
On February 11, 2010, TMK Bonds S.A., the Group's structured entity, completed the offering of 4,125 convertible bonds due 2015 convertible into Global Depository Receipts each representing four ordinary shares of OAO TMK. The bonds are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The bonds have nominal value of 100,000 US dollars each and were issued at 100% of their principal amount. The convertible bonds carry a coupon of 5.25% per annum, payable on a quarterly basis. As at December 31, 2014, the bonds were convertible into GDRs at conversion price of 22.137 US dollars per GDR (December 31, 2013: 22.137 US dollars per GDR).
The Group can early redeem all outstanding bonds, in whole but not in part, at any time on or after March 4, 2013 at their principal amount plus accrued interest, if the volume weighted average price of the GDRs traded on the London Stock Exchange during 30 consecutive dealing days exceeds 130 per cent of the conversion price (the "Issuer Call"). In addition, the Group has the option to redeem the bonds at the principal amount plus accrued interest if 15% or less of the bonds remain outstanding.
The Group determined that the convertible bonds represent a combined financial instrument containing two components: the bond liability (host component) and an embedded derivative representing conversion option in foreign currency combined with the Issuer Call (the "Embedded Conversion Option").

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
(All amounts are in thousands of US dollars, unless specified otherwise)
22) Convertible Bonds (continued)
The Embedded Conversion Option in foreign currency was classified as financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. The Embedded Conversion Option was initially recognised at the fair value of 35,455. The Group used binomial options pricing model for initial and subsequent measurement of fair value of this embedded derivative. For the purposes of this model, the Group assessed that the credit spread comprised 2,422 bps and 410 bps as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The change in the fair value of the embedded derivative during the reporting period resulted in a gain of 2,080 (2013: 8,410), which was recorded as gain on changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments in the income statement.
The fair value of the host component at the initial recognition date has been determined as a residual amount after deducting the fair value of the Embedded Conversion Option from the issue price of the convertible bonds adjusted for transaction costs. The host component is subsequently carried at the amortised cost using the effective interest method. As at December 31, 2014, the carrying value of the host component was 313,262 (December 31, 2013: 415,508).
Up to the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements for issuance, the Group fully redeemed the convertible bonds.
The Group's finance lease obligations primarily related to machinery, equipment and transport with certain leases having renewal and purchase options at the end of lease term.
The carrying value of the leased assets was as follows as at December 31:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| Machinery and equipment | 26,752 | 40,362 |
| Transport and motor vehicles | 7,791 | 668 |
| 34,543 | 41,030 |

28) Contingencies and Commitments
Operating Environment of the Group
Significant part of the Group's principal assets are located in the Russian Federation and USA, therefore its significant operating risks are related to the activities of the Group in these countries.
Russia continues economic reforms and development of its legal, tax and regulatory frameworks as required by a market economy. The future stability of the Russian economy is largely dependent upon these reforms and developments and the effectiveness of economic, financial and monetary measures undertaken by the government.
In 2014, the Russian economy was negatively impacted by a significant drop in crude oil prices and a significant devaluation of the Russian Rouble, as well as sanctions imposed on Russia by several countries. In December 2014, the Rouble interest rates have increased significantly after the Central Bank of Russia raised its key rate. The combination of the above resulted in reduced access to capital, a higher cost of capital, increased inflation and uncertainty regarding economic growth, which could negatively affect the Group's future financial position, results of operations and business prospects.
Although the US economy is growing, the drop in oil prices may result in the decline in oil exploration, drilling and production activities. As a result, the demand for the oil pipes in the US market may decrease accordingly. Significant decline in demand could have a negative impact on the Group's future financial position, results of operations and business prospects.
Management believes it is taking appropriate measures to support the sustainability of the Group's business in the current circumstances.
Tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations and changes, which can occur frequently. Management's interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activity of the Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and federal authorities. Management believes that it has paid or accrued all taxes that are applicable. Where uncertainty exists, the Group has accrued tax liabilities based on management's best estimate of the probable outflow of resources embodying economic benefits, which will be required to settle these liabilities.
Up to the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements for issuance, the court proceedings and pre-trial disputes had not been finalised for the claims in the amount of 3,760 at the exchange rate as at December 31, 2014. Management believes that the Group's position is justified and it is not probable that the ultimate outcome of these matters will result in material losses for the Group. Consequently, the amounts of the claims being contested by the Group were not accrued in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

28) Contingencies and Commitments (continued)
The Group had contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment from third parties in the amounts of 135,904 and 199,567 as at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (contractual commitments were expressed net of VAT).
Under contractual commitments disclosed above, the Group opened unsecured letters of credit in the amount of 22,500 (December 31, 2013: 28,777).
The Group maintains insurance against losses that may arise in case of property damage, accidents, transportation of goods. The Group also maintains corporate product liability and directors and officers liability insurance policies. Nevertheless, any recoveries under maintained insurance coverage that may be obtained in the future may not offset the lost revenues or increased costs resulting from a disruption of operations.

During the period, the Group was involved in a number of court proceedings (both as a plaintiff and a defendant) arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes there are no current legal proceedings or other claims outstanding, which could have a material effect on the result of operations or financial position of the Group.
Guarantees of Debts of Others
The Group guaranteed debts of others outstanding as at December 31, 2014 in the amount of 494 (December 31, 2013: 2,805).

According to Russian Law, the Company must create a reserve capital in the amount of 5% of the share capital per the Russian statutory accounts by annual appropriations that should be at least 5% of the annual net profit per the statutory financial statements. The reserve capital can be used only for covering losses and for the redemption of the Company's bonds and purchase of its own shares if there are no other sources of financing.
iv) Dividends Declared by the Parent Entity to its Shareholders
On June 19, 2014, the annual shareholders' meeting approved final dividends in respect of 2013 in the amount of 731,317 thousand Russian roubles (21,001 at the exchange rate at the date of approval) or 0.78 Russian roubles per share (0.02 US dollars per share), from which 56,597 thousand Russian roubles (1,625 at the exchange rate at the date of approval) related to the treasury shares in possession of the Group.
On December 25, 2014, the extraordinary shareholders' meeting approved interim dividends in respect of six months 2014 in the amount of 393,786 thousand Russian roubles (7,227 at the exchange rate at the date of approval) or approximately 0.397 Russian roubles per share from which 28,806 thousand Russian roubles (529 at the exchange rate at the date of approval) related to the treasury shares in possession of the Group.
v) Dividends Declared by Subsidiaries of the Group to the Non-controlling Interest Owners
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group's subsidiaries declared dividends to the non-controlling interest owners in the amounts of 1,367 and 1,554, respectively.
vi) Acquisition of Non-controlling Interests in Subsidiaries
In the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company purchased additional 0.21% of OAO "Seversky Tube Works" shares for cash consideration of 193. The excess in the amount of 383 of the carrying values of net assets attributable to the acquired interests over the consideration paid was recorded in additional paid-in capital.

vii) Recognition of the Change in Non-controlling Interests in the Subsidiary as an Equity Transaction
Non-controlling interest shareholder of OOO "TMK-INOX" has a right to sell its ownership interest to the Group under certain circumstances beyond the Group's control starting 2018. The terms of the put option do not provide the Group with a present ownership interest in the shares subject to the put, thus the Group accounted for this put option as the following:
As at December 31, 2014, a proportion of the Group's US dollar-denominated borrowing in the amount of 1,197,710 (December 31, 2013: 1,197,710) was designated as hedges of net investments in the Group's foreign subsidiaries.
The effectiveness of the hedging relationship was tested using the dollar offset method by comparing the cumulative gains or losses due to changes in US dollar / Russian rouble spot rates on the hedging instrument and on the hedged item. In the year ended December 31, 2014, the effective portion of net losses from spot rate changes in the amount of 602,032 at historical exchange rates, net of income tax of 120,406, at historical exchange rates was recognised in other comprehensive loss.
ix) Movement on Cash Flow Hedges
The Group hedges its exposure to foreign currency risk using currency forwards and its exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to interest rate risk using interest rate swaps.
The details of movement on cash flow hedges during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are presented in the following table:

30) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
In the course of its business, the Group is exposed to a number of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and foreign currency risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. The presented information shows susceptibility of the Group concerning each of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and establishes policies for managing each of these risks which are summarised below.
The Group is exposed to risk from movements in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates that affect its assets, liabilities and anticipated future transactions. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures, while optimising the return on the risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Group's interest rate risk management policy is to minimise risk with the aim to achieve financial structure objectives defined and approved in the management's plans. Borrowing requirements of the Group's companies are pooled by the Group's central finance department in order to manage net positions and the funding of portfolio developments consistently with management's plans while maintaining a level of risk exposure within prescribed limits.
The Group borrows on both a fixed and variable rate basis. EURIBOR and LIBOR served as the basis for the calculation of interest rates on loans with variable rate. The Group enters into interest rate swaps, in which the Group agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designated to hedge underlying debt obligations. Variable rate loans accounted for 8% of the total loan portfolio at the end of 2014, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps (9% at the end of 2013).
The Group does not have any financial assets with variable interest rate.

Foreign Currency Risk
The Group's exposure to currency risk relates to sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group's subsidiaries, and the Group's net investments in foreign operations. The currencies in which these transactions and balances primarily denominated are US dollars and euro.
The Group's exposure to currency risk determined as the net monetary position in respective currencies was as follows as at December 31:
| 2014 | 2013 | |
|---|---|---|
| USD/RUR | (1,571,946) | (1,731,183) |
| EUR/RUR | (79,014) | (94,785) |
| USD/EUR | (5,584) | 23,877 |

The Group hedged its net investments in foreign operations against foreign currency risk using borrowings in US dollars made by Russian companies of the Group and its exposure to currency risk related to USD denominated sales of Romanian subsidiaries using USD/RON forward contracts. The Group doesn't have other formal arrangements to manage currency risks of the Group's operations and balances. However, the Group seeks to bring its financial liabilities in foreign currency in line with export net sales, thus mitigating currency risk.

30) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to reasonably possible changes in the respective currencies, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit/(loss) before tax and other comprehensive income/(loss). The movement in other comprehensive income/(loss) arises from gains or losses on the US dollar-denominated borrowings related to the effective portion of the hedge of net investments in foreign operations (Note 29 viii). In estimating reasonably possible changes for 2014 the Group assessed the volatility of foreign exchange rates during the year ended December 31, 2014 (2013: historical data for the three preceding years). The approach to the calculation of the volatility was changed in 2014 due to the increased volatility of Russian rouble against other currencies in the past few months.

Liquidity risk arises when the Group encounters difficulties to meet commitments associated with liabilities and other payment obligations. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by targeting an optimal ratio between equity and total debt consistent with management plans and business objectives. This enables the Group to maintain an appropriate level of liquidity and financial capacity as to minimise borrowing expenses and to achieve an optimal profile of composition and duration of indebtedness. The Group has access to a wide range of funding at competitive rates through the capital markets and banks and coordinates relationships with banks centrally. At present, the Group believes it has access to sufficient funding and has also both committed and uncommitted borrowing facilities to meet currently foreseeable borrowing requirements.

30) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)
Effective management of the liquidity risk has the objective of ensuring both availability of adequate funding to meet short-term requirements and due obligations, and a sufficient level of flexibility in order to fund the development plans of the Group's business, maintaining an adequate finance structure in terms of debt composition and maturity. This implies the adoption of a strategy for pursuing an adequate structure of borrowing facilities (particularly availability of committed borrowings facilities) and the maintenance of cash reserves.

Credit risk is the potential exposure of the Group to losses that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform or failed to pay amounts due. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents.
The credit risk arising from the Group's normal commercial operations is controlled by each operating unit within Group-approved procedures for evaluating the reliability and solvency of each counterparty, including receivable collection. The monitoring activity of credit risk exposure is performed at the Group level according to set guidelines and measurement techniques to qualify and monitor counterparty risk.

30) Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)
The Group sells goods to some of the biggest Russian and international companies on credit terms. It is the Group's policy that all customers applying for the credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures.
As at December 31, 2014, accounts receivable from the three biggest debtors of the Group amounted to 207,044 (December 31, 2013: 317,162). Management determines concentration by reference to receivables from particular customers as percentage of total accounts receivable.

Capital Management
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise the return to shareholders. The Board of directors reviews the Group's performance and establishes key performance indicators. In addition, the Group is subject to externally imposed capital requirements (debt covenants) which are used for capital monitoring. Through 2014, the Group was in compliance with such externally imposed capital requirements. The Group met its objectives for managing capital.
Capital includes equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent entity. The Group manages its capital structure and adjusts it by issue of new shares, dividend payments to shareholders, purchase of treasury shares. The Group monitors the compliance of the amount of legal reserve with the statutory requirements and makes appropriations of profits to legal reserve. In addition, the Group monitors distributable profits on a regular basis and determines the amounts and timing of dividend payments.

(2,076) (2,076) |
(3,501) (3,501) |
Financial instruments at fair value were measured by the Group using valuation techniques based on observable market data (Level 2 fair value measurement hierarchy).
The Group's derivative financial instruments comprised of interest rate swaps and currency forwards. The use of derivatives was governed by the Group's policies consistent with the overall risk management strategy of the Group. The derivatives were designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges. The valuation techniques applied to derivatives included forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporated various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange forward rates and interest rate curves.
During the reporting period, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement hierarchy, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurement hierarchy.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments not Carried at Fair Value
For financial assets and financial liabilities that are liquid or having a short-term maturity (cash and cash equivalents, short-term accounts receivable, short-term loans) the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

For quoted debt instruments (bonds and loan participation notes) the fair values were determined based on quoted market prices. The fair values of unquoted debt instruments were estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt on similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.
