VIMPELCOM DELIVERS STRONG SUBSCRIBER GROWTH AND DOUBLE-DIGIT TOP LINE INCREASE IN 3Q11

 

 

KEY RESULTS AND DEVELOPMENTS*

 

     Total mobile subscriber base increased 11% YoY to 199 million; surpassing 200 million mark in October

 

     Strong revenue growth of 10% YoY to USD 6.1 billion

 

     EBITDA increased 4% YoY to USD 2.5 billion

 

     Net Income declined to USD 104 million, mainly due to non-cash forex related items

 

      Capex of USD 1.2 billion in 3Q11, resulting in 17% Capex on revenues YtD

 

      Robust Net Cash from Operating Activities of USD 1.9 billion

 

Amsterdam (November 14, 2011) - “VimpelCom Ltd” (“VimpelCom”, “Company” or “Group”) (NYSE: VIP), a leading global provider of telecommunications services, today announced operating and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

JO LUNDER, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMMENTS:

“We are satisfied with the solid performance we have achieved across our business units in the third quarter during which we have achieved double-digit top-line growth and surpassed the 200 million subscriber mark in October. Our cash flow of USD 1.9 billion from operations remains strong, increasing by almost 70%, however our net result declined mainly due to non-cash items. In Russia, even though we achieved strong revenue and subscriber growth, it was offset by an increase in costs leading to declining profitability. In line with our announced strategy, we will focus on cash flow growth in this market by tackling the key issues through an operational excellence program we have implemented and by leveraging the synergies of the enlarged VimpelCom. The integration process with Wind telecom is ahead of schedule and will be completed by year end. We have already secured synergies of USD 1.9 billion on an NPV basis out of the USD 2.5 billion committed.

Looking ahead, we will maintain our focus on delivering on our value agenda by driving sustainable, profitable growth and improving our operational excellence and capital efficiency, leading to increased cash flows. We will provide more details on our strategy tomorrow at our Analyst and Investor Day in Amsterdam.”

STRATEGIC UPDATE

 

 

     Announced Value Agenda for 2012-2014

 

     Awarded spectrum in 800MHz and 2600MHz frequencies in Italy, enabling deployment and launch of LTE/4G telecommunication services in the coming years

 

    Integration of Wind Telecom on track to be completed by year end

 

    Appointment of Deputy CEO and COO Jan Edvard Thygesen

 

VimpelCom continued its strategic progress in the third quarter, highlighted by the announcement on September 7 of the Company’s Value Agenda for 2012-2014. This follows the closing of the transformational merger with Wind Telecom, which positioned VimpelCom as one of the leading global telecommunications operators in the world with an attractive and balanced portfolio of operations in both developed and emerging markets.

The Company also successfully bid for and was awarded spectrum in 800MHz and 2600MHz frequencies in Italy, enabling deployment and launch of the next wave of broadband services in the coming years. The first spectrum payment was funded with EUR 182 million of cash available and a bridge loan of EUR 500 million; a bank guarantee is in place for the remaining outstanding amount which will be payable in 5 yearly installments. In addition, the 2G license in Bangladesh was renewed and a 3G license in Laos was granted.

In October OTH received 99.99% approval from its shareholders for the demerger and the internal reorganization and is finalizing the process with the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA).

Following the closing of the acquisition of Wind Telecom, VimpelCom launched a comprehensive integration program to capture the benefits of the combination and to achieve synergies from the enlarged group. Total expected synergies from the acquisition and integration of Wind Telecom are expected to be at least USD 2.5 billion. Phase 1 initiatives have already secured synergies in the amount of USD 1.9 billion on a NPV basis.

The integration process, which is expected to be completed by year-end, has made significant steps forward in several areas, including systems, policies and organization. This will allow VimpelCom to start the New Year with a full focus on the Value Agenda. The newly appointed Deputy CEO and COO will have an operational responsibility liaising directly with the business unit operations and focusing on operational excellence as part of the Value Agenda. In addition Elena Shmatova was asked to join the management team in Amsterdam in order to apply her extensive knowledge and experience across the entire Group. She will continue to manage the BU Russia until a replacement is appointed.

As part of the acquisition of Wind Telecom, VimpelCom entered into a value sharing agreement with Weather Investments II regarding Djezzy. The value sharing agreement gave VimpelCom the option to exercise a value sharing mechanism that would allocate the potential upside value and downside risk in various scenarios. Having considered all of the facts and circumstances, VimpelCom’s Supervisory Board has taken a business decision not to exercise and to let expire the value sharing mechanism and, therefore, to retain both the potential downside risk and upside value.

On November 15, VimpelCom will organize its first analyst and investor day. The Analyst and Investor Day will be held from 13:00 to 18:00 CET and will be audio webcasted. The call and slide presentations may be accessed via webcast at http://www.vimpelcom.com.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

The total mobile subscriber base increased by 11% YoY to 199 million by the end of the third quarter and surpassed the 200 million mark in October. The largest absolute contribution came from accelerated growth in subscribers in the Asia & Africa Business Unit. The Company also achieved strong growth in fixed and mobile broadband in Russia, Italy and Ukraine.

In Russia, the Company had the highest net additions of mobile subscribers in the market during the first 9 months of 2011. The subscriber growth rate decreased in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, in line with the announced strategy to focus on profitable growth. Mobile broadband subscribers in Russia increased 59% YoY to 2.4 million and fixed broadband subscribers grew 46% YoY to 1.8 million.

In the Europe and North America Business Unit, the Company’s Italian business continued to outperform the broader Italian telecom market in the third quarter despite the ongoing weak macroeconomic environment and unfavorable regulatory developments. VimpelCom strengthened its market position in Italy in both mobile and fixed-line, increasing its revenue share in both segments. The fixed broadband subscriber base increased 15% YoY to 2.1 million, while Mobile broadband revenues increased 34% YoY.

In the Africa and Asia Business Unit, the Company achieved strong growth in its subscriber base across all countries of operation, reaching 78 million in total. The improved performance was driven primarily by increased usage of voice traffic and focus on cost optimization.

The Ukraine Business Unit continued to deliver healthy top line revenue growth and maintained its leading market position. The Business Unit delivered strong growth in mobile and fixed data revenues and doubled its fixed line broadband subscribers. Mobile data revenue grew 27% YoY to UAH 212 million driven by increased usage of data services in USB modem offers and within the new bundled tariff plans.

The CIS Business Unit delivered double digit revenue growth in all of its markets, except Armenia, and was able to maintain subscriber growth with a clear focus on quality.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

Total net operating revenues in the third quarter 2011 increased by 10% YoY, with strong performance across all business units and favorable foreign exchange movements. Overall organic revenue growth came in at 5%. In Russia, revenues increased by 14% in USD terms and 8% in local currency. In Italy, revenues in USD increased by 11%, while in local currency, revenues increased by 2%. The Ukraine Business Unit delivered growth of 3% in USD terms and 4% in local currency. The Africa and Asia Business Unit reported revenue growth of 5%. Lastly, CIS continued to achieve strong performance with a revenue increase of 19%.

EBITDA increased by 4% YoY, supported by favorable currency movements. Excluding these forex effects, EBITDA declined by 1% compared to the same period last year. Solid organic EBITDA growth was seen in emerging markets of the business units of Africa & Asia and CIS, up 13% and 24% respectively, coupled with flat organic EBITDA generated from the business units of Europe & North America and Ukraine. Overall growth was partially offset by the YoY organic decline in Russia.

Net Income from continuing operations was USD 91 million.

Net Income attributable to VimpelCom Ltd. came in at USD 104 million, being 77% lower than 3Q 2010 on a pro forma basis. The main drivers of this USD 356 million decline were unrealized forex losses of approximately USD 110 million attributable to the intercompany loan to Wind Mobile in

 

Canada denominated in CAD due to negative movements in exchange rate of EGP towards CAD and of approximately USD 180 million due to movements in EUR towards USD rate as opposite to positive movements in 3Q 2010 and the non-cash loss of around USD 110 million related to the fair value adjustment of the embedded derivatives in Wind Italy; these items were offset by other positive movements. CAPEX stood at USD 1.2 billion with investments related to the further roll out of the mobile networks in Russia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the CIS, while in Ukraine it was mainly related to investments in fixed broadband. Italy continued to invest in the roll out of HSDPA and in the backbone capacity to support the growth in data.

ACTUAL 3Q 2011

On an actual basis, revenues more than doubled YoY and EBITDA increased by 87% YoY as a result of the combination with Wind Telecom in April this year. Consequently, EBIT grew by 56% over the same period of 2010.

Net income declined by 79%, mainly due to higher interest expenses resulting from higher gross debt after the acquisition of Wind Telecom. In addition, net income was also negatively impacted by higher depreciation and amortization charges associated with the Wind Telecom transaction. Moreover net income was further impacted by aforementioned movements.

Net debt was USD 22.3 billion, leading to a net debt to LTM EBITDA of 2.4x at the end of the third quarter.

Net cash from operating activities at the Group level was positively impacted by the strong cash flow generation from our operating activities and phasing of interest payments. Net cash from investing activities was mainly impacted by the higher investments in property and equipment and the consolidation of Wind Telecom. Net cash used in financing activities was mainly related to debt repayments.

BUSINESS UNIT RUSSIA – FINANCIAL AND OPERATING

RESULTS

 

     Strong growth in mobile subscribers coupled with significant increase in mobile broadband subscribers

 

     Acceleration of total revenue growth to more than 8% YoY

 

     EBITDA margin declined to 40% as a result of growth driven costs

 

     Mobile data and fixed broadband are the fastest growing revenue streams

 

     In line with strategy, the focus of efforts will shift from top line improvement to profitable growth

 

 

The Russia Business Unit continued investments in growing the subscriber base in both fixed and mobile segments, which translated into substantial revenue growth. However, this growth adversely impacted margins, due to the increase in associated costs. To improve profitability, the Company is promoting higher margin data service revenue streams and rebalancing tariff plans in favor of on-net calls. In addition the Company is implementing a RUR 5 billion operational excellence program, as communicated in September. In line with the announced strategy VimpelCom intends to drive sustainable profitable growth in this market.

·  

Mobile subscriber base grew 10% YoY to 56.8 mln, while mobile broadband subscribers increased 59% YoY to 2.4 mln.

 

·  

Acceleration of revenue growth continued in 3Q11, bringing the total to RUR 69.6 billion, up 8% YoY, with about 1% attributed to consolidation of NTC in the Far East region of Russia.

 

·  

Mobile revenues increased 8% YoY to RUR 58 billion, driven by increases in voice, data and devices sales revenue streams. Mobile data revenue grew 40% YoY to RUR 4.5 bln and remains the Company’s growth driver in the mobile segment. Actions to maintain the momentum of customer data usage will continue.

·  

Fixed-line revenues showed 9% growth YoY primarily due to continued rapid growth in fixed broadband revenue, which reached RUR 2.2 bln, or 55% YoY growth. During the quarter, IPTV service was launched in 2 additional cities, bringing the total number of cities serviced to 34 as of the end of 3Q11.

 

·  

Total EBITDA decreased in 3Q11 versus 3Q10 due to the APPM reduction to competitive levels along with the shift in revenue mix towards lower margin off-net calls to the CIS countries. The EBITDA margin was 40.0% impacted also by growth in low-margin handset sales and one-time write-off of the obsolete handset stock of approximetely 58 million RUR, as well as forex as the growing costs related to the calls to the CIS countries were stated in US dollars.

 

·  

Going forward, the key focus will be on improving the profitability. The aim is to increase gross margin through rebalancing of the tariff plans over the quarters to come.

 

·  

An operational excellence program has already been launched, which has started delivering results. G&A expenses in 3Q11 grew slower than revenue and EBITDA was up 2.9% QoQ.

 

·  

In 3Q11 capex increased by 16% YoY, aligned with the uniform construction schedule throughout the year.

BUSINESS UNIT EUROPE & NORTH AMERICA

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS ITALY

 

    Service revenue growth of 1% confirms continued outperformance in the Italian market; excluding last MTR cut impact underlying mobile service revenues were up 5%

 

    EBITDA growth of 1.4%

 

    Mobile subscribers increase to 20.8 mln with almost 10% increase of mobile data ARPU

 

    Mobile Internet & Data delivered strong growth with mobile broadband revenues up 34%

 

     Fixed broadband subscribers increase 15%, increase in broadband ARPU

 

 

In Italy, third quarter performance was solid with WIND further strengthening its position in the market and further growing its revenue market share. In mobile, the market in 3Q11 remained challenging with both a 26% termination rate cut implemented from July 1 2011, and competitive pressure impacting service revenues. These impacts were, however, partially offset by the success of WIND’s portfolio of offerings in voice, messaging and Internet services.

The performance of the mobile broadband offerings remained strong in the period, delivering a 34% revenue increase over 3Q11, driven by the growing demand for smartphones and tablet devices. This performance will strengthen further going forward as indoor coverage is increased further and LTE is rolled-out in the coming years. Traditional data services, mainly messaging, continued to deliver double digit growth over the previous year.

In the fixed-line segment, performance in the quarter was strong with service revenues up 5.5% over the previous year driven by the solid revenue growth in the consumer segment. Results remained strong in the Broadband market with revenues up 23% over the previous year, while fixed-line voice revenues were marginally down, mainly as a result of a decline in traffic volumes.

 

·  

WIND’s total revenues grew 2.5% reaching EUR 1.4 bln driven by a 1% increase in service revenues and certain settlements with other operators in the period.

 

·  

The mobile service revenue trend has been mostly driven by the decline in incoming revenues resulting from the MTR cut; mobile service revenues excluding the last MTR cut impact increased by 5% over the previous year.

 

·  

EBITDA reached EUR 565 mln, up 1.4% over 3Q10, driven by a strong growth in fixed-line EBITDA partially offset by a decrease in mobile EBITDA, the latter being impacted by the aforementioned pressure on service revenues. EBITDA margin was a solid 40.5%.

 

·  

WIND continued to invest in growing both its mobile and fixed-line businesses with capex reaching EUR 226 mln.

·  

The Italian government completed the LTE spectrum auction in which WIND was awarded 2 blocks of 800MHz spectrum and four blocks of 2,600MHz spectrum for a total consideration of EUR 1.1 bln.

 

·  

WIND’s mobile business continued to post a positive performance in 3Q11 with mobile subscribers increasing by 6% to 20.8 mln driven by a solid trend in net additions.

 

·  

Mobile ARPU remained under pressure in 3Q11, declining 7%. Strong growth in Data ARPU, up 10%, offset the decline in Voice ARPU resulting from the sharp cut in MTRs from July 1, 2011; the further increase in data-only SIM cards, which do not generate voice revenues, also negatively impacted the Voice ARPU trend. Mobile Data ARPU in 3Q11 grew to over 23% of total mobile ARPU.

 

·  

In fixed-line, our voice subscribers increased by 6% to 3.1 mln with growth concentrated in the higher value direct subscriber base, which grew 10% to 2.35 mln. Broadband subscribers continued to grow at a healthy pace, approaching 2.1 mln subscribers, up 15% over 3Q10. Our dual play offerings also continued to perform strongly with a 14% increase in customer base to 1.7 mln. The fixed-line market in 3Q11 was, however, impacted by an increase in churn as customers migrated from one operator to the other in order to benefit from their promotions.

 

·  

Fixed-line ARPU declined marginally (-2%) versus 2Q11 mainly as a result of fixed to mobile substitution. In Broadband, Infostrada continued to post a positive growth in ARPU, which increased by over 5% to EUR 19.5 mln.

ALGERIA (“DJEZZY”)

In Algeria, revenues for 3Q 2011 increased by 6% in local currency terms. Due to the appreciation of the local currency against the USD, revenues grew almost 10% in USD terms compared to the same period last year, in line with the recovery trend. EBITDA increased 4% in local currency terms, while the currency appreciation against the USD resulted in an 8% increase in USD terms. The growth in EBITDA is mostly due to the combination of revenue growth coupled with tight cost management, which led to a stable EBITDA margin of 59.1%. The decrease in capex was mainly due to limitations on importing goods. Subscribers increased 9% YoY, due to a continued successful focus on churn management. ARPU increased almost 3% in USD terms, due to the appreciation of the local currency this quarter, while declining 1.3% in local currency terms compared to the same period last year. The decrease is mainly due to the full effect of Ramadan in the whole month of August 2011. Market share dropped slightly by 0.2 p.p compared to the previous year, due to competitive pressures, while maintaining market leadership.

PAKISTAN (“MOBILINK”)

Subscriber base increased 6% YoY, as a result of the ongoing location-based promotions and reactivation promotions. Mobilink’s revenues for the third quarter of this year increased by 6.5% in local currency compared to 3Q 2010, as a result of its growing subscriber base and higher pre-paid VAS revenues. EBITDA showed an increase of 11% as a result of applied cost efficiency measures and higher revenues. These led to an increase in EBITDA margin of 1.5 p.p. to 41%. Capex increased 67% to support IT and network development. Mobilink continued to focus on the youth segment through dedicated products and offerings, as well as rolling out a number of activities to promote value added services

BANGLADESH (“BANGLALINK”)

The subscriber base increased by over 22% YoY, and banglalink exceeded 22 million subscribers, as a result of a more aggressive acquisition strategy following the SIM tax reduction in 2Q 11. Revenue growth for the quarter reached over 14% in local currency terms, while currency devaluation led to a 7% increase in USD terms. EBITDA increased 85% YoY, as a result of revenue growth and reduced SIM card costs. In local currency terms, banglalink’s EBITDA increased almost by 100% compared to the same period last year. Capex increased 25% mainly due to the focused network rollout in line with the customer acquisition strategy.

SUB SAHARAN AFRICA (“TELECEL GLOBE”)

Subscribers increased 5% mostly attributable to further penetration of the rural segment in Burundi, while growth was slightly offset by the mandatory SIM registration process in Zimbabwe, as well as a short-lived SIM shortage in CAR. Revenues decreased by 24%, as a result of the market-wide price reductions in Burundi, in addition to the sale of Powercom Ltd in Namibia in 2Q 2011. EBITDA decreased 7% YoY due to lower revenues and the sale of Powercom Ltd.

SOUTH EAST ASIA

The subscriber base increased by 494% YoY approaching 3 million, mainly driven by subscriber growth in Vietnam. Revenues for South East Asia increased 248% YoY while EBITDA declined by 67% due to roll out in Vietnam. In Laos, 3G licensing was obtained.

BUSINESS UNIT UKRAINE – FINANCIAL AND OPERATING

RESULTS

 

   Healthy top line revenue growth of 4% and leading market position

 

   Strong growth in mobile and fixed data revenues

 

   Doubling of fixed residential broadband subscribers

 

   EBITDA declined marginally by 1%, due to revenue mix change and higher OPEX

 

   Maintained high operating margins through continued synergy realization

 

   Synergies continued to be ahead of plan

 

 

Business Unit Ukraine continued to deliver solid results in the third quarter with revenue growth, stable high margins and strong growth in the fixed-line segment, particularly in fixed broadband. Synergy realization also continues to be ahead of plan.

 

·  

Total revenue reached UAH 3.5 bln, up 4% YoY, driven by growth in both mobile and fixed segments.

 

·  

Mobile revenue was up by 1.7% YoY as a result of a 1.4% increase in ARPU to UAH 43. Mobile subscribers decreased 1.2% YoY to 24.7 mln, which was due to our focus on quality subscriptions rather than tourist promotions.

 

·  

Data revenue grew 27% YoY to UAH 212 mln supported by growth in mobile internet traffic usage and increase in the usage of bundles.

 

·  

Fixed revenue increased by 35% YoY mainly due to 53% growth in wholesale and 94% growth in fixed broadband

 

with 117% growth in subscriber base, which reached 324 thoursand in 3Q11. Fixed broadband ARPU decreased YoY due to price-based competition in the market.

 

·  

EBITDA declined marginally in 3Q11, as a result of the lower gross margin driven by a shift to off-net traffic and higher OPEX resulting from a temporary shift in advertising campaigns to 3Q and higher technical OPEX driven by growth in mobile and fixed. We expect this trend of higher OPEX to remain in place going forward as we continue to grow subscribers and traffic. EBITDA margin was 53.7%.

 

·  

CAPEX was UAH 644 mln, up 60% YoY, due to increased investments in fixed broadband, as well as in mobile operations.

Our revenue in Armenia increased by 5% YoY in 3Q11 with the subscriber base growing in the mobile segment by 31% YoY and in the fixed broadband segment by 99%. EBITDA margin stabilized at the 40% level. Market position in the mobile segment, together with fixed and mobile data development, remain our main focus in this market.

KYRGYZSTAN

Revenue showed significant growth of 26% YoY in Kyrgyzstan in 3Q11 mainly due to active subscriber base growth and an increase in the number of mobile internet users and traffic.

DISCLAIMER

This press release contains “forward-looking statements”, as the phrase is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements include those relating to the benefits and synergies from the Company’s transaction with Wind Telecom and the expected growth and development of the Company’s operations. These and other forward-looking statements are based on management’s best assessment of the Company’s strategic and financial position and of future market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may differ materially from these statements as a result of continued volatility in the economies in the markets in which the Company operates, unforeseen developments from competition, governmental regulation of the telecommunications industries, general political uncertainties in the markets in which the Company operates and/or litigation with third parties. The actual outcome may also differ materially if the Company is unable to obtain all necessary corporate approvals relating to its business, if the Company is unable to successfully integrate Wind Telecom, its Ukrainian operations and other newly-acquired businesses, if the Company is unable to complete the demerger of certain Wind Telecom assets and other factors. In addition, there are risks related to the combination with Wind Telecom, including the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the combination may not materialize as expected; that the parties are unable to successfully implement integration strategies or otherwise realize the synergies anticipated for the transaction; the possibility that Telenor may succeed in the arbitration against the Company and Altimo Holdings and Investments Ltd. or bring other legal challenge (including requests for injunctive relief) against the Company, its officers or directors and/or Altimo in respect of its claims to pre-emptive rights or otherwise; and other risks and uncertainties that are beyond the Company’s control. There can be no assurance that such risks and uncertainties will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010 and other public filings made by the Company with the SEC, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference. The Company disclaims any obligation to update developments of these risk factors or to announce publicly any revision to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this release, or to make corrections to reflect future events or developments.

ATTACHMENT E: DEFINITIONS

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

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

EBIT is a non-U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented above.

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

EBT is a non-U.S. GAAP measure and is calculated as EBIT minus Financial income and expenses (which is calculated by subtracting interest income from interest expense) and Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others. Our management uses EBT as a supplemental performance measure and believes that it provides useful information about earnings of the Company before making accruals for income tax expenses. Reconciliation of EBT to net income attributable to VimpelCom Ltd., the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, is presented above.

ARPU (Monthly Average Revenue per User) is calculated by dividing service revenue during the relevant period, including revenue from voice-, roaming-, interconnect-, and value added services (including mobile data, SMS, MMS), but excluding revenue from connection fees, sales of handsets and accessories and other non-service revenue, by the average number of subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period. For business unit Africa and Asia (except SEA) visitors roaming revenue is excluded from service revenues.

Broadband subscribers 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 3G/HSDPA technologies. Italian subsidiary measures broadband subscribers based on the number of active contracts signed. Russian business unit includes IPTV activities.

Capital expenditures (Capex), purchases of new equipment, new construction, upgrades, software, other long lived assets and related reasonable costs incurred prior to intended use of the non current asset, accounted at the earliest event of advance payment or delivery. Long-lived assets acquired in business combinations are not included in capital expenditures.

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.

Mobile subscribers 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 subscribers also includes SIM-cards for use of mobile Internet service via USB modems and subscribers for WiFi. The number for Italy is based on SIM-cards, users of which generated revenue at any time during the twelve months prior to the measurement date. For the purpose of this earnings release, we include all subscribers of Zimbabwe, which is accounted for as investment at cost, into business unit Africa and Asia and subscribers of all our Canada equity investee into business unit Europe and North America, both of which are included into total subscribers of VimpelCom.

MOU (Monthly Average Minutes of Use per User) is 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 subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.

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

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

Net Income came in at USD 104 million, being 77% lower than 3Q 2010 on a pro forma basis. The main drivers of
this USD 356 million decline were:
Unrealized forex losses of approximately USD 110 million attributable to the intercompany loan to Wind Mobile in Canada
denominated
in
CAD
due
to
negative
movements
in
exchange
rate
of
EGP
towards
CAD
and
of
approximately
USD
180
million
due
to movements in EUR towards USD rate as opposite to positive movements in 3Q 2010;
Non-cash loss of around USD 110 million related to the fair value adjustment of the embedded derivatives in Wind Italy;
Offset by other positive movements.
