VimpelCom Ltd. (NASDAQ: VIP), the international communications and technology company, which is committed to bringing the digital world to each and every customer, today announces financial and operating results for the quarter ended 30 June 2016.

JEAN-YVES CHARLIER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, COMMENTS:
"We are pleased to report that VimpelCom's financial performance is in line with expectations for the first half of the year in spite of weaker service revenue trends in the second quarter. Service revenue declined slightly by 0.7% while underlying EBITDA grew by 3% in the quarter on an organic basis. We saw particularly solid performances in Pakistan and Ukraine and mobile data revenue growth was also strong, up 26%, reflecting our strategic focus to transform our business from traditional voice and messaging to data and digital services. Profit for the period grew 29% and reached USD 138 million. Reported results however continue to be negatively impacted by adverse foreign exchange movements, although this effect is moderating.
In the past few months, we have reached major milestones in executing on our strategy to transform VimpelCom as we closed the transaction in Pakistan with Warid and announced a landmark partnership with Ericsson to invest USD 1 billion to overhaul our IT systems. Furthermore, we remain confident in securing approval from the European Commission for our joint venture in Italy, to merge Wind and 3 Italia, which we expect by the beginning of September. VimpelCom remains on track to achieve its financial targets for the year, although at the lower range for service revenue and underlying EBITDA margin, while the capex to revenue ratio is trending towards 17%."

------------------------ ---- ---- ------- ------- ---- ---- -------- -------
Total Group revenue for Q2 2016 decreased 16% year-on- year to USD 2.2 billion due to adverse currency movements, while it marginally increased organically, driven by positive performance in Pakistan and Ukraine, offset by negative performance mainly in Algeria. Service revenue decreased 0.7% organically, due to a decrease in voice revenue, partly offset by strong growth in mobile data revenue of 26% on an organic basis. Total mobile customers increased by two million to 194 million at the end of Q2 2016, due to strong customer growth in Pakistan.
Group EBITDA reported in Q2 2016 declined 26% to USD 795 million due to currency headwinds and exceptional items of USD 116 million. Underlying EBITDA was USD 911 million, an organic increase of 3%. The exceptional items primarily relate to the Group-wide Performance Transformation program. In Q2 2015, VimpelCom recognized positive exceptional items totaling USD 3 million, related to one-off in utility costs, partially offset by SIM re-verification costs in Pakistan. The reconciliation table for EBITDA and underlying EBITDA is set forth in Attachment F.
In Russia, service revenue organically decreased 2% mainly due to a reduction in fixed-line service revenue. Fixed-line service revenue decreased organically by 10% mainly as a result of corporate customers changing their contracts from U.S. dollar to ruble together with lower B2C revenue. Mobile service revenue decreased organically by 0.4% to RUB 54.7 billion, driven by lower voice and roaming revenue, due to an average price per minute reduction, almost fully offset by strong organic growth in mobile data revenue of 20%. Beeline's mobile customer base expanded marginally to 57.4 million.
EBITDA decreased 1% in Russia. Underlying EBITDA was broadly organically stable YoY, adjusted for exceptional costs of RUB 177 million related to the Performance Transformation program in Q2 2016. The decrease in revenue, which was driven by the negative impact of ruble depreciation, affecting roaming and interconnect costs, was offset by cost savings related to the Performance Transformation program.
In Algeria, service revenue organically decreased 15% in Q2 2016, due to the combined impact of the historic 3G coverage shortfalls and the SMP ("Significant Market Player") designation, sub-optimal changes in billing increments, low sales due to change in commission structure and the shift in Ramadan by almost two weeks.
Underlying EBITDA organically decreased 18%, due to the decrease in revenue, leading to an underlying EBITDA margin of 51%.
In Pakistan, mobile service revenue organically increased 13%, despite the shift in the Ramadan calendar, which had a negative impact of 0.8% for the Q2 2016 comparison. This growth was generated across all revenue streams, but primarily in data revenue, which grew 55%.
Underlying EBITDA increased organically by 29% and EBITDA margin increased 5.2 percentage points to 45% in Q2 2016, outpacing the revenue growth on the back of cost control.
In Bangladesh, service revenue increased 3% organically, mainly attributable to increasing voice revenue and a 60% increase in data revenue. The slow-down in the revenue trend is mainly due to the introduction of another 2% supplementary duty on recharges from June 2016 on top of the additional 1% surcharge from March 2016.
Underlying EBITDA organically grew 19% YoY, driven by revenue growth and Performance Transformation initiatives, particularly in human resources and commercial costs.
In Ukraine, service revenue grew organically 11% YoY, as a result of successful commercial activities and the strong growth of mobile data revenue resulting from the launch of 3G from Q2 2015 onwards.
Underlying EBITDA organically increased 34% in Q2 2016 and EBITDA margin grew 9.3 percentage points to 55.0%, driven by higher revenue, lower interconnect costs and lower structural opex.
In Uzbekistan, service revenue organically increased 8%, mainly as a result of the impact of Beeline´s price plans being denominated in U.S. dollars, increased interconnect revenue and 10% growth of mobile data revenue.
Underlying EBITDA decreased organically by 3.9% and EBITDA margin decreased 7.2 percentage points to 57.1%, mainly driven by the increased customer tax and opex. The increase in customer tax to UZS 1,500 per customer from UZS 750 negatively impacted EBITDA margin by 4.4 percentage points.
In Other, we have included the results of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia, Tajikistan, intercompany eliminations and HQ costs.

EBIT was lower year-on-year in Q2 2016 at USD 283 million due to the lower reported EBITDA, slightly offset by lower impairment charges and lower depreciation and amortization, as a result of currency headwinds.
Profit before tax decreased to USD 96 million as a result of lower EBIT, while financial expenses and foreign exchange losses remained almost unchanged.
Income tax expense increased in Q2 2016 to USD 135 million due to a shift in the mix of profit generation with a higher proportion coming from higher tax countries and also the change in the tax regime in Uzbekistan, which caused an effective tax rate in that country of above 50% from 2016 onwards. In Q2 2015, the Company recorded a positive effect of USD 75 million on deferred taxes as a result of legal entity restructurings, which caused the year on year comparison to worsen. In addition, the Q2 2016 effective tax rate was impacted by the creation of non-cash tax provisions in Tajikistan and GTH, amounting to USD 26 million.
Profit from discontinued operations increased to USD 187 million in Q2 2016, due to the elimination of depreciation and amortization charges from the results in Italy as of Q3 2015, as Italy was classified as held for sale under IFRS rules. Italy standalone results improved due to the refinancing activities completed in 2015.
Profit for the period attributable to VimpelCom shareholders was USD 138 million, which was negatively impacted by exceptional items amounting to USD 116 million at EBITDA level and a higher effective tax rate.
Capex decreased 41% to USD 347 million in Q2 2016, primarily as a result of currency depreciation and Performance Transformation program, leading to a LTM capex to revenue ratio of 17%. The Company will maintain its strategy of investing in high-speed data networks to capture mobile data growth, including the continued roll-out of 4G/LTE networks in Russia and Algeria and 3G networks in Algeria, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Ukraine.

Gross debt increased 9% quarter-on-quarter by USD 874 million mainly due to USD 1.2 billion of newly issued GTH bonds, partially offset by debt repayments in Russia of USD 0.3 billion and the RUB appreciation against the USD.
Net debt increased 3% quarter-on-quarter, mainly due to the ruble appreciation against the U.S. dollar while net cash inflow from operating activities exceeded net cash flow used in investing activities.
Net cash from operating activities decreased in Q2 2016 by USD 122 million mainly due to the year-on-year reduction in EBITDA which was negatively affected by currency movements with some mitigation from lower interest payments and the cash inflow from operating activities from discontinued operations.
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased by USD 181 million mainly due to lower cash capital
expenditures, partially offset by a loan granted to Warid of USD 81 million as part of the closing of the transaction in Pakistan, which was made in order to repay part of Warid's debt structure.
Net cash used in financing activities was positive in Q2 2016, due to the cash inflow from newly issued bonds at GTH, partially offset by repayments in Russia. In Q2 2015, the net cash used in financing activities was related to the USD bonds tender settlement of USD 1.8 billion, the repayment of an Italian Government loan of USD 0.2 billion and the repayment of a Sberbank loan for another USD 0.2 billion.

The macro-economic slowdown and weakened ruble continued to negatively impact revenue growth and profitability in Russia. In addition, competition has increased during 2016 and the Company expects the environment to remain challenging for the remainder of the year.
Beeline's mobile customer base marginally increased year-on-year to 57.4 million in Q2 2016. Annualized churn increased 5 percentage points to 56%. NPS was stable, while relative NPS continued to improve, positioning Beeline on par among the three largest operators.
Total service revenue in Q2 2016 declined 2% to RUB 64.8 billion, mainly as a result of a decline in fixed-line service revenue. Mobile service revenue decreased 0.4% to RUB 54.7 billion, driven by lower voice and roaming revenue, due to an average price per minute reduction as existing customers continued to migrate to the Company's current price plans. Mobile data revenue continued to grow strongly, increasing 20% to RUB 12.6 billion, attributable to the active bundle promotion, increased smartphone penetration and customer traffic growth.
Fixed-line service revenue decreased by 10% to RUB 10.1 billion mainly as a result of corporate customers changing their contracts from U.S. dollar to ruble together with lower B2C revenue.
In Russia, reported EBITDA decreased 1% to RUB 27.3 billion. Underlying EBITDA was broadly stable, adjusted for exceptional costs of RUB 177 million related to the Performance Transformation program in Q2 2016. The effect of the decrease in revenue and negative impact of the depreciation of the ruble, which impacted roaming and interconnect costs, was offset by cost savings as a result of the Performance Transformation initiatives.
Capex excluding licenses decreased 36% to RUB 7.2 billion, largely due to phasing, together with capital efficiency improvements, mainly as a result of savings from centralizing procurement on a global basis. The LTM capex to revenue ratio for Q2 2016 was 17%.

Although Djezzy's operations delivered strong margins during the second quarter, the Company continued to experience significant pressure on results. The decrease in revenue was not only due to the shift in Ramadan calendar (June 2016 included 24 days of Ramadan, while June 2015 included 12 days of Ramadan) but was also caused by continued customer churn and ARPU erosion. The Company expects this pressure to continue for the remainder of the year, as it will take time to stabilize its commercial proposition and its customer base.
VimpelCom's customer base in Algeria decreased 4% year-on-year to 16.3 million and ARPU declined by 12% due to the combined impact of historic 3G coverage shortfalls, sub-optimal changes in Q2 2016 to billing increments and the commission structure for indirect distribution, both of which were partially corrected in Q2 2016, together with forced migrations from legacy tariffs from late 2015 onwards. In addition, Q2 2016 ARPU was impacted by the shift in Ramadan which caused a 2.3% ARPU decrease for the quarter.
As a result, Djezzy's Q2 2016 service revenue was DZD 27.2 billion, down 15%, while data revenue continued to strongly grow by 53%, due to the higher usage and substantial increase in data customers as a result of the 3G network roll-out.
The Company is taking further measures to improve performance and stabilize the customer base, including distribution transformation and monobrand roll-out, new simple offers aligned with customer needs, promoting micro campaigns with tailored services to increase satisfaction, data monetization activities and smartphone promotions coupled with bundle offers.
In Q2 2016, EBITDA decreased 18% to DZD 14.0 billion due to the decrease in revenue. EBITDA margin remained strong at 51% due to commercial and network costs optimization as well as a decline in personnel costs, driven by headcount reduction.
Today Djezzy has the largest network in Algeria with the widest coverage and plans to invest significantly to upgrade its networks further. In Q2 2016, Djezzy continued to roll-out in new regions and, as a result, Djezzy's 3G network covers 41 wilayas (provinces) while full 3G deployment across all 48 of Algeria's wilayas is expected to be complete by the end of 2016. In Q2 2016, capex was DZD 4.7 billion, a 4% increase, while the LTM capex to revenue ratio was 15%.
In May 2016, Djezzy was awarded one of three licenses to provide 4G/LTE services in the country. The Company expects to launch high-speed 4G/LTE in autumn 2016 with the opportunity to win back high value customers. As part of the preparations for this launch, the Company is modernizing and upgrading existing sites to a single-RAN architecture and to date 1,000 sites have already been upgraded. Djezzy is also upgrading its network to an all-IP enabled technology in order to address the expected increase in data traffic.

Mobilink's market position continued to improve in Q2 2016, demonstrating strong performance with double-digit YoY revenue and EBITDA growth.
In Q2 2016, Mobilink's revenue increased 14% with mobile service revenue increasing by 13% to PKR 28 billion, despite the shift in Ramadan which had a negative year-on-year impact of 0.8% in the quarter. Mobilink continues to show voice and SMS revenue growth, which is not only a result of customer growth, but also due to price adjustments that led to an ARPU increase. Data revenue grew by 55% due to successful data monetization initiatives, including attractive bundle offers and unification of the tariff portfolio, together with continued 3G network expansion.
Mobilink's customer base increased 17% in 2Q 2016, driven through a continued focus on price simplicity, distribution and transparency for its customers. The company sees data and voice monetization as the key priorities, underpinned by the best network in terms of both quality of service and coverage.
In order to stimulate the growth of smartphone penetration, in Q2 2016 Mobilink continued to promote co-branded devices from low end feature phones to high end smartphones and tablets under the 'Jazz X' brand. Mobilink also invested in its distribution capabilities through launching mono-brand stores and establishing strategic partnerships with leading handset suppliers.
The company now offers 3G in over 350 cities in Pakistan, many of which previously had no access to broadband services. As a result, Mobilink continues to lead the market with over 19.4 million mobile data customers.
MFS revenue continued to show good growth of 56% due to an increase in over-the-counter (OTC) transactions and higher agent activity. As a result, MFS revenue now represents 3.5% of service revenue.
Underlying EBITDA margin increased 5.2 percentage points to 45.4% in Q2 2016, and underlying EBITDA for 2Q 2016 increased 29% to PKR 13.5 billion due to Performance Transformation benefits and scale effects.
Capex decreased to PKR 3.6 billion in Q2 2016 with a LTM capex to revenue ratio of 17% and Mobilink continues to invest in its high-speed 3G network roll-out. Mobilink has also successfully completed the network swap, an action of the global procurement program in order to improve pricing and technical support activities.
In July 2016, VimpelCom closed the transaction to merge Mobilink with Warid Telecom, creating the leading high-speed mobile operator in Pakistan. Over 50 million customers in Pakistan will benefit from high-speed mobile telecommunications and a best-in-class digital mobile network. The combined Mobilink and Warid entity will be the leading telecommunications provider of 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE services in Pakistan, providing higher quality national voice and data coverage, faster downloads and a wider portfolio of products and services. For the year to 30 June 2016, Warid reported PKR 37 billion in revenue and an EBITDA margin of 20%. Warid's net debt as of 30 June 2016 was PKR 37 billion (USD 350 million), excluding an intercompany loan granted by Mobilink. From July 2016 onwards, Warid's numbers will be consolidated into VimpelCom's accounts.

Banglalink continued to demonstrate YoY growth in Q2 2016 in both revenue and EBITDA despite the shift in Ramadan and intense market competition.
In Q2 2016, Banglalink's total revenue increased 5% year-on-year to BDT 12.3 billion. The increase in revenue was mainly driven by continued increases in voice revenue, primarily as a result of traffic growth, coupled with a 60% increase in data revenue. This data revenue growth was driven by 6% growth in data users and data usage growth of 178%, supported by expanding 3G coverage and smartphone penetration. Despite aggressive price competition, Banglalink's ARPU increased 5% mainly on the back of growing voice and data traffic. The relative deceleration of the year-on-year revenue growth rate was primarily caused by the imposition of an incremental 2% supplementary duty on recharges from June 2016 on top of the additional 1% surcharge from March 2016.
The main operational focus during the quarter was the ongoing SIM re-verification program. This government-mandated initiative started in December 2015 and requires each mobile phone operator to verify all customers using fingerprints in order to ensure authentic registration, proper accountability and enhanced security.
Banglalink is one of the leaders in this mobile security initiative, and managed to verify 93% of customers representing almost 100% of its revenue. This re-verification initiative will also provide a solid and secure customer base to develop new revenue from mobile financial services as part of our digital strategy.
However, this program contributed to a slowdown of acquisition activity across the market in H1 2016 and also resulted in the blocking of unverified SIMs in June 2016, both of which resulted in a 3% decline in the customer base at the end of Q2 2016.
In Q2 2016, the company's underlying EBITDA, excluding one-offs which were mainly related to the Performance Transformation program and SIM re-verification costs, grew 19% to BDT 5.8 billion driven by both the revenue growth and Performance Transformation initiatives, particularly in human resources and commercial costs. As a result, the underlying EBITDA margin was 47.5%, which represents a 5.6 percentage point increase.
Capex increased 3% to BDT 2.6 billion in Q2 2016, while the LTM capex to revenue ratio was 23%. Banglalink continues to invest in efficient data networks with 50% of the population covered by the 3G network at the end of Q2 2016, up from 33% at year-end 2015.

Kyivstar continued to deliver strong results in Q2 2016, despite a challenging macro-economic environment, with the Company maintaining its clear NPS leadership in the market. However, competition has intensified and the Company expects this to further intensify going forward.
Total service revenue increased 11% year-on-year to UAH 3.7 billion in Q2 2016. Mobile service revenue grew 11% to UAH 3.4 billion as a result of strong growth of mobile data revenue and successful commercial activities. Mobile data revenue experienced strong growth of 79% driven by the continued 3G roll-out, active promotions of smartphones and data-oriented tariff plans.
Kyivstar´s mobile customer base decreased 2% to 25.4 million in Q2 2016, mainly as a result of a customer decline in eastern Ukraine in 2H 2015. On an annual basis, churn improved by two percentage points to 18%.
Fixed-line service revenue increased 10% to UAH 262 million, supported by fixed residential broadband (FTTB) revenue, which continued to outgrow the market, increasing 14%, driven primarily by FTTB re-pricing.
EBITDA increased 34% to UAH 2.0 billion in Q2 2016 and EBITDA margin grew 9.3 percentage points to 55.0%, driven by higher revenue, lower interconnect costs and lower structural opex, which was partially offset by an increase in frequency fees due to the 3G license, higher utility and rental costs, and the impact on opex of a negative currency depreciation.
Kyivstar continued to roll-out its 3G network in Q2 2016, reaching 48% population coverage, up from 35% at year-end 2015. Q2 2016 capex was UAH 727 million with a LTM capex to revenue ratio of 18%, and LTM operating cash flow margin, defined as EBITDA less capex, at a strong level of 34% in Q2 2016.

Beeline remains the clear leader in a market that is experiencing increased competition, driven by the launch of two new mobile operators in 2015. The Company also improved its position in NPS and became the co-leader among the mobile operators. In addition, the Company renewed its license for another 15 years, after it received approval from the telecom regulator.
Mobile service revenue increased 8% year-on-year to UZS 475 billion mainly as a result of the impact of Beeline´s price plans being denominated in U.S. dollars, together with increased interconnect revenue and mobile data revenue growth, which increased 10% driven by increased smartphone penetration and promotions, notwithstanding a year-on-year decrease in mobile data customers. Mobile data ARPU grew 5% and total mobile ARPU increased 19%. The overall customer base decreased 9% to 9.3 million, with annualized churn increasing five percentage points to 49% as a result of increased competition.
EBITDA decreased 3.9% to UZS 273 billion and EBITDA margin decreased 7.2 percentage points to 57.1%, primarily driven by increased customer-based taxes and structural opex. The increase in customer tax to UZS 1,500 from UZS 750 per customer per month negatively impacted EBITDA margin by 4.4 percentage points.
Capex was UZS 47 billion and the LTM capex to revenue ratio was 14% resulting from a 14% growth in 3G sites. LTM operating cash flow margin, defined as EBITDA less capex, was at a strong level of 42% in Q2 2016.
Beeline expects competition to further intensify while the increased customer tax will continue to impact EBITDA throughout 2016. The Company aims to maintain its leading market position in Uzbekistan by focusing on customer retention and high value customers.

Total revenue in Q2 2016 grew 0.9% year-on-year to EUR 1.1 billion, driven by a strong performance in mobile revenue, improving 3.0% due to the increase in mobile handset sales of 41% resulting from the success of WIND's "Telefono Incluso" bundles, partially compensating for the weaker results in the fixed-line business. Service revenue declined 1.9% with the relative year-on-year trends in both the mobile and fixed-line business continuing to improve quarter-on-quarter.
In Q2 2016, mobile service revenue declined 0.8%, still showing an improving trend compared to the decline in Q1 2016, when adjusted for the leap year effect. Mobile data revenue rose 12.8% to EUR 179 million, with the mobile data user base reaching 11.7 million users, representing a 6.3% increase.
Mobile ARPU for Q2 2016 continued to show positive momentum, growing by 0.8% to EUR 11.3, with data ARPU improving by 6.1%, now representing 43.6% of total ARPU and more than offsetting the decline of voice revenue.
In Q2 2016, fixed-line service revenue declined 4.8% to EUR 264 million from the continued market trend of fixed to mobile substitution, which resulted in a double digit decline of voice volumes, coupled with a further decrease in indirect customer base.
The direct fixed-line customer base increased by 3.7%, with LLU component growing at 2.5%, almost completely offsetting the decline of the indirect segment.
In Q2 2016, the growing preference of customers for lower monthly fee bundles, including unlimited DSL and pay per use voice, became more evident. The performance in the voice segment was offset by solid results in fixed LLU broadband, with revenue up 6.4% to EUR 128 million, driven by a broadband customer base increase of 5.1%, with the dual-play segment growing by a solid 8.3%.
WIND's EBITDA in Q2 2016 increased 0.5% to EUR 399 million, in line with total revenue growth, as a result of which the 2Q 2016 EBITDA margin was stable year-on-year at 36.6%.
In Q2 2016, WIND invested EUR 192 million, primarily in the expansion of the 4G/LTE network, as well as increasing the capacity and coverage of the existing HSPA+ network. 4G/LTE network now covers 62% of the population, up from 56% at year-end 2015.
In April 2016, WIND signed a strategic and commercial partnership with Enel Open Fiber for the nationwide development of the ultra-broadband fixed line network. In May 2016, the first customers were connected in Perugia and the FTTH deployment will start in Bari, Catania, Cagliari and Venice by September 2016.

ATTACHMENT E: DEFINITIONS
ARPU (Average Revenue per User) is calculated by dividing service revenue for the relevant period, including revenue from voice-, roaming-, interconnect-, and value added services (including mobile data, SMS, MMS), but excluding revenue from visitors roaming, connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of customers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. For Italy Business Unit, visitors roaming revenue is included into service revenue for ARPU calculation.
Data customers are the customer contracts that served as a basis for revenue generating activity in the three months prior to the measurement date, as a result of activities including monthly Internet access using FTTB and xDSL technologies as well as mobile Internet access via WiFi and USB modems using 2.5G/3G/4G/HSPA+ technologies. The Italy Business Unit measures fixed data customers based on the number of active contracts signed and mobile data includes customers that have performed at least one mobile Internet event in the previous month. The Russia Business Unit includes IPTV activities. For Kazakhstan and Eurasia subsidiaries, mobile data customers are those who have performed at least one mobile Internet event in the three-month period prior to the measurement date. For Algeria, data customers are 3G customers who have performed at least one mobile data event on 3G network in the previous four months.
Capital expenditures (capex) are purchases of new equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to intended use of the non-current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Long-lived assets acquired in business combinations are not included in capital expenditures.
EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as EBITDA plus depreciation, amortization and impairment loss. Our management uses EBIT as a supplemental performance measure and believes that it provides useful information of earnings of the Company before making accruals for financial income and expenses and net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others. Reconciliation of EBIT to net income attributable to VimpelCom Ltd., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the reconciliation tables section in Attachment F.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. VimpelCom calculates EBITDA as operating income before depreciation, amortization, loss from disposal of non-current assets and impairment loss and includes certain non-operating losses and gains mainly represented by litigation provisions for all of its Business Units except for its Russia Business Unit. The Russia Business Unit's EBITDA is calculated as operating income before depreciation, amortization, loss from disposal of non-current assets and impairment loss. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of the results as reported under IFRS. Our management uses EBITDA and EBITDA margin as supplemental performance measures and believes that EBITDA and EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors because they are indicators of the strength and performance of the Company's business operations, including its ability to fund discretionary spending, such as capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments, as well as indicating its ability to incur and service debt. In addition, the components of EBITDA include the key revenue and expense items for which the Company's operating managers are responsible and upon which their performance is evaluated. EBITDA also assists management and investors by increasing the comparability of the Company's performance against the performance of other telecommunications companies that provide EBITDA information. This increased comparability is achieved by excluding the potentially inconsistent effects between periods or companies of depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, which items may significantly affect operating income between periods. However, our EBITDA results may not be directly comparable to other companies' reported EBITDA results due to variances and adjustments in the components of EBITDA (including our calculation of EBITDA) or calculation measures.
Additionally, a limitation of EBITDA's use as a performance measure is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenue or the need to replace capital equipment over time. Reconciliation of EBITDA to net income attributable to VimpelCom Ltd., the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in the reconciliation tables section in Attachment F.
EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage.
Gross Debt is calculated as the sum of long term debt and short term debt.
Households passed are households located within buildings, in which indoor installation of all the FTTB equipment necessary to install terminal residential equipment has been completed.
MBOU (Megabyte of use) is calculated by dividing the total data traffic by the average mobile data customers during the period.
MFS (Mobile financial services) is a variety of innovative services, such as mobile commerce or m-commerce, that use a mobile phone as the primary payment user interface and allow mobile customers to conduct money transfers to pay for items such as goods at an online store, utility payments, fines and state fees, loan repayments, domestic and international remittances, mobile insurance and tickets for air and rail travel, all via their mobile phone.
MNP (Mobile number portability) is a facility provided by telecommunications operators, which enables customers to keep their telephone numbers when they change operators.
Mobile customers are SIM-cards registered in the system as of a measurement date, users of which generated revenue at any time during the three months prior to the measurement date. This includes revenue coming from any incoming and outgoing calls, subscription fee accruals, debits related to service, outgoing SMS, Multimedia Messaging Service (referred to as MMS), data transmission and receipt sessions, but does not include incoming SMS and MMS sent by VimpelCom or abandoned calls. VimpelCom's total number of mobile customers also includes SIM-cards for use of mobile Internet service via USB modems and customers for WiFi. The number of mobile customers for Italy is based on SIM-cards, users of which generated revenue at any time during the twelve months prior to the measurement date.
MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is generally calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of usage for incoming and outgoing calls during the relevant period (excluding guest roamers) by the average number of mobile customers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.
Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as the sum of interest bearing long-term debt and short-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents, long-term and short-term deposits and fair value hedges. The Company believes that net debt provides useful information to investors because it shows the amount of debt outstanding to be paid after using available cash and cash equivalents and long-term and short-term deposits. Net debt should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to long-term debt and short-term debt, or any other measure of the Company financial position. Reconciliation of net debt to long-term debt and short-term debt, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is presented in the reconciliation tables section in Attachment F.
Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others represents the sum of Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain, Equity in net (loss)/gain of associates and Other (expense)/income (primarily (losses)/gains from derivative instruments), and is adjusted for certain non-operating losses and gains mainly represented by litigation provisions. Our management uses Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others as a supplemental performance measure and believes that it provides useful information about the impact of our debt denominated in foreign currencies on our results of operations due to fluctuations in exchange rates, the performance of our equity investees and other losses and gains the Company needs to manage the business.
NPS (Net Promoter Score) is the methodology VimpelCom uses to measure customer satisfaction.
Operational expenses (opex) represents service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Organic growth in revenue and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and EBITDA, excluding foreign currency movements and other factors, such as businesses under liquidation, disposals, mergers and acquisitions.
Reportable segments: the Company identified Russia, Italy, Algeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Ukraine and Uzbekistan based on the business activities in different geographical areas. Intersegment revenue is eliminated in consolidation.
Service costs represent costs directly associated with revenue generating activity such as traffic related expenses, costs of content and sim-cards as well as costs of handsets, telephone equipment and accessories sold.
Selling, general and administrative expenses represent expenses associated with customer acquisition and retention activities, network and IT maintenance, regular frequency payment, professional and consulting support, rent of premises, utilities, personnel and outsourcing as well as other general and administrative expenses. These expenses do not include personnel costs that have been capitalized as part of long-lived assets.
