    9M 2014 HIGHLIGHTS 21 In3Q 2014 metallurgical coal market was rather stable but prices were at their lows. Long steel products market looked better with some price increase on domestic market compared to 2Q 2014. Export sales amounted to 33% of total Revenue for 9M 2014 period with mining segment being the largest contributor to export sales. On a stable Revenue structure, share of Steel segment in Consolidated EBITDA increased from 29% in 9M 2013 to 45% in 9M 2014. Gross margin increased from 30% in 9M 2013 to 35% in 9M 2014. Net debt (excluding finance lease liabilities) amounted to $7.8 bln as of September 30, 2014. In 3Q 2014 Net debt decreased by 9% due to ruble depreciation and partial redemption of bonds. In 3Q 2014 bottom line affected by $551 mln of FX loss primarily due to loan revaluation. But adjusted Net loss decreased 90% q-o-q. In 3Q 2014 operating income grew to $107 mln on adjusted basis net of one-off accruals (Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, provision for amounts due from related parties, loss on write-off of PPE and additional taxes) compared with adjusted operating income of $41 mln in 2Q 2014.
