“We have made further good progress in the execution of our strategy, with strong organic growth in Group revenue and EBITDA. The EBITDA margin of 44% is the highest reported since completion of the Wind Telecom acquisition in April 2011. In our emerging markets (excluding Italy) we delivered 7% organic revenue growth and a 14% increase in EBITDA. In Russia, the positive trend seen in the first half continued, with year-on-year revenue growth of 7%, in part driven by strong mobile data revenue growth of 38%. EBITDA in Russia increased 16% year-on-year, with an improvement in the EBITDA margin to 43.2%. Our business in Italy has continued to outperform competition also showing strong mobile data revenue growth and CIS, Asia & Africa and Ukraine each delivered a solid set of figures in their respective markets.

We are delivering on our objectives and our focus will remain on delivering profitable growth leading to increased cash flows.”

In 3Q12 VimpelCom continued to deliver on its strategic priorities as defined by the Company’s Value Agenda for 2012-2014, with profitable organic growth in almost all business units. Without the reduction of MTRs in Italy, Revenue growth would have been close to 5% organically YoY and EBITDA organic growth would have been approximately 9% YoY. In Russia, the Company continued to deliver on its turnaround strategy.

As previously announced, in April and May, a Russian court issued injunctions in relation to the claims by the Russian Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (“FAS”) against Telenor East Holding II AS (“Telenor”) and Weather Investments II S.a.r.l. (“Weather II”). The injunctions prohibited, among other things, the payment of dividends by VimpelCom’s wholly owned Russian subsidiary OJSC “Vimpel-Communications”. In May, VimpelCom announced that in light of these injunctions the Supervisory Board of the Company considered it prudent and in the best interests of VimpelCom to postpone the payment and cancel the June 1, 2012 record date of the previously announced final dividend relating to the Company’s 2011 results. The Supervisory Board of the Company will make a decision whether to pay the final 2011 dividend at a later date and will set a new record date as appropriate.

The Company has announced that its Supervisory Board has set the date for the Company’s 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Shareholders Meeting”) for December 21, 2012. The record date for the Shareholders Meeting has been set for November 20, 2012. In light of the injunctions issued by the Moscow Arbitration Court in relation to the claims by the Russian Federal Anti-Monopoly Service (“FAS”) against Telenor and Weather II, the Supervisory Board has determined that if the injunctions are not lifted prior to November 27, 2012 it would be prudent to postpone the Shareholders Meeting. In case the Shareholders Meeting is postponed, an announcement in that respect will be issued on or around November 27, 2012. Further details on the agenda, the slate of nominees to the Supervisory Board and procedural matters related to the Shareholders Meeting will be made available through an official notice to be distributed by VimpelCom to its shareholders prior to the Shareholders Meeting.

The Company has also taken several important steps with respect to Orascom Telecom Holding (OTH). VimpelCom and OTH, of which VimpelCom is 51.9% shareholder, have entered into mutual service level agreements to create synergies and operational efficiencies. Additionally, in light of an agreement between VimpelCom and Weather II that required the cessation of the use of the “Orascom” name and brand by OTH and its subsidiaries by the end of 2012, Orascom Telecom Holding S.A.E. will be renamed to Global Telecom Holding S.A.E. Furthermore, following the change in Canada’s foreign ownership laws earlier this year OTH will convert its non-voting shares into voting shares of Globalive Investment Holding Corp. (GIHC), the parent company of Wind Mobile Canada and Globalive Canada. As a result, the indirect voting stake of OTH in GIHC will increase from 32.02% to 65.08%. The required approval for the conversion from the Canadian investment authorities is expected by early 2013. Finally, OTH’s shareholder loans to GIHC group will be restructured.

In July, VimpelCom was awarded an LTE license in Russia, allowing the Company to provide services using radio-electronic devices in the territory of the Russian Federation via networks that use the LTE standard and its further modifications within the frequency band of 791-862 MHz. VimpelCom aims to launch its LTE services in Moscow and in 6 other Russian regions in 2013. The roll-out of the LTE network will need to occur with a phased approach based on a predefined schedule and must be fully completed by the end of 2019. A further condition of the license award is that VimpelCom will invest at least RUB 15 billion annually until its federal LTE network is built.

VimpelCom announces today that it will hold its second Analyst & Investor Day on January 16, 2013 in London. An update of the Group strategy, the Value Agenda, will be presented both for the Group and for Business Units.

    Total mobile subscriber base increased 7% YoY to 212 million; incidental strong growth in Uzbekistan

OPERATING PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

 

The 3Q12 reported results in USD were significantly impacted by the appreciation of the USD against the local currencies in almost all of VimpelCom’s operating businesses. The organic development is highlighted below.

The total mobile subscriber base increased 7% YoY to 212 million at the end of the third quarter. The largest absolute contribution came from accelerated growth in subscribers in the Africa & Asia Business Unit and a large increase in subscribers in CIS resulting primarily from the temporary network closure of a competitor by the Uzbek authorities. In addition, the Company also achieved strong growth in fixed and mobile broadband subscribers in Russia, Italy and Ukraine.

In Russia, the Company continued the positive trend witnessed in the first half of the year, delivering organic revenue growth of 7% YoY. Mobile data revenues increased 38% YoY. Mobile broadband subscribers in Russia increased 5% YoY to 2.5 million, while the fixed broadband subscriber base reached 2.3 million, up 25% YoY.

The Company’s Italian business continued to outperform the broader Italian telecom market in the third quarter. VimpelCom strengthened its market position in Italy in both the mobile and fixed-line segments. Fixed broadband revenues were up 7% YoY, while mobile internet revenues increased 40% YoY.

In the Africa & Asia Business Unit, the Company exceeded the 86 million subscriber level through strong subscriber growth across all countries of operation, with Algeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh performing well in the period. However there was a slowdown in revenue growth in Pakistan and Algeria due to Ramadan. In addition, revenue growth in Pakistan was also negatively impacted by heavy rains in September and two government forced cellular network closures.

The Ukraine Business Unit continued to invest in solidifying its market position in the mobile segment through the ongoing transition to bundled tariff plans. The transition is showing good results with flat mobile service revenues YoY and an improvement QoQ. Mobile subscribers increased by 2% YoY to 25.2 million. Fixed-line service revenues increased by 11% YoY, mainly due to a 60% increase in fixed residential broadband revenues.

The CIS Business Unit delivered double digit organic revenue growth, partly supported by a temporary decrease in competition in Uzbekistan. Overall, CIS was able to maintain high quality subscriber growth despite an increasingly competitive environment.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Total operating revenues in the third quarter 2012 decreased by 6% YoY impacted by unfavorable currency movements. Overall organic revenue growth was 3%, with a strong performance across most business units.

EBITDA decreased 2% YoY, impacted by unfavorable currency movements. Excluding these forex effects, EBITDA increased 8% compared to the same period last year. Double digit organic EBITDA growth YoY was seen in the Russia and CIS business units, up 16%, and 28%, respectively. EBITDA in CIS was supported by one-off adjustments totaling USD 12.5 million in Kazakhstan. Italy showed a YoY organic EBITDA decline of 5% in Italy mainly due to the MTR cut in July 2012 and Ukraine a 1% decline due to the ongoing transition to bundled tariff plans.

EBIT grew by 17% YoY positively affected, as reported previously, by the declining amortization pattern applied to intangible assets associated with customer relationships as part of the Wind Telecom acquisition where amortization of later periods is lower than amortization in the year of acquisition.

Profit before tax increased by 136% YoY due to higher EBIT, foreign exchange gains and a higher result from the investment in Euroset. The net foreign exchange gain was USD 36 million in 3Q12, while in 3Q11 there was a loss of USD 137 million.

Net income nearly tripled as a result of higher Profit before tax and a lower effective tax rate this year compared to 3Q 2011 when certain net operating losses incurred were not recognized for tax purposes.

Capex was USD 829 million with investments in the further roll out of the mobile networks in Russia, Bangladesh and the CIS. In Italy, Wind continued to invest in the roll-out of HSDPA and in backbone capacity to support the growth in data. The Company expects FY12 Capex to be approximately 19% of revenue.

Total assets increased by 2% in the quarter to USD 53.5 billion, primarily as a result of cash generation, investment in fixed assets and positive impact of currency translation in the third quarter. Gross debt was stable in the quarter at USD 26.6 billion, mainly due to foreign exchange movements and repayments of Ruble loans and Euro loans, including the repayment of the final part of the bridge loan in Italy. Net debt decreased to USD 22.7 billion, leading to a net debt to LTM EBITDA of 2.4x at the end of the third quarter.

Net cash from operating activities of USD 2.0 billion at the Group level was positively impacted by the receipt of

USD 190 million related to the monetization of an interest swap and working capital movement, partially offset by higher interest and tax payments compared to the same period last year. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities compared to 2Q12 was mainly impacted by lower investments in property, equipment and intangible assets in 2012. The increase in net cash used in financing activities in 3Q12 compared to 2Q12 was mainly the result of the net repayment of debt. Net cash from operating activities in the first 9 months of 2012 is USD 5.0 billion, or 17% higher than in 9M11.

VimpelCom launched new initiatives during the third quarter as part of its ongoing operational excellence program. These initiatives are focused on process re-engineering to increase operational productivity and both the efficiency and effectiveness of all functions within the Russian headquarters. In addition, the Company continued its focus on network outsourcing by signing contracts for the Volga and Far East regions in the third quarter. VimpelCom expects to outsource network maintenance in more regions in the future.

Churn was 15% in 3Q12, down from 16% in 3Q11, however stable QoQ. VimpelCom continues its activities focused on reducing churn rates. The transition to a revenue sharing model with the Company’s distribution channels has helped reduce churn and the Company is taking further measures, such as offering competitive tariffs and improving the network quality.

VimpelCom is on track to deliver continued improvement in network quality to support the growth of mobile data customers. In addition, the Company finalized its plans for the rollout of LTE. VimpelCom aims to launch its LTE services in Moscow and in 6 other regions in 2013.

BUSINESS UNIT EUROPE & NA – FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS ITALY

 

    Relative outperformance continues, despite regulatory headwinds, macro slow down and intense competition

 

     Revenues decline 5% YoY, revenues excl. MTR impact stable YoY

 

     Data revenue growth momentum remains strong: Mobile Internet up 40%, fixed LLU broadband up 8%

 

    EBITDA declines 5% YoY, mainly impacted by the July 2012 MTR cut

 

    Solid subscriber growth: mobile up 3% with highest ever gross adds in July and fixed LLU BB up 9%

 

 

In Italy the third quarter was characterized by significant regulatory and competitive headwinds, further impacted by the ongoing week economic environment. Despite this challenging context WIND was able to outperform the market further growing its market share in mobile and fixed line. Operating free cash flow generation also remained strong and was stable over 3Q11.

Total revenues declined by 5% mainly driven by the reduction in service revenues, as a result of the 53% cut in mobile termination rates which came into effect on July 1, partially offset by other revenues and by a solid increase in handset sales. Excluding the impact from MTRs total revenues were flat YoY. Mobile service revenues declined 8% over the previous year but, excluding the MTR impact, were flat over 3Q11 driven by a strong performance in mobile data revenues. In fixed line the strategic shift towards higher margin LLU led to an expected slower total subscriber growth and a 4% decline in service revenues, but yielded a significant improvement in margin. In the core LLU segment the voice customer base grew a solid 6% while the LLU broadband customer base grew 9%.

From a commercial perspective the third quarter was impressive with WIND achieving its highest ever number of gross additions in mobile in July and recording a strong performance in August and September. In the quarter WIND secured over 63% of MNO net additions driven by a solid inflow of MNP customers; market churn in the period however remained high at levels in excess of 30% driven by intense promotional activity on MNP. WIND’s customers continued to increase their voice usage. Mobile broadband revenue grew 40% over the previous year, traditional messaging revenues were up 9% and fixed broadband revenues were up 3%.

On October 10, 2012 WIND signed an agreement with the trade unions and employees of the company to adopt an innovative cost efficiency plan aimed at reducing network maintenance opex by approximately EUR 40-45 million per year from January 1, 2013 onwards through increased productivity of network maintenance personnel and a general reduction of HR costs. The project is expected to deliver the same savings as the previously announced managed services outsourcing plan, without outsourcing approximately 1,700 employees.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS 3Q12

 

·  

Total revenues declined 5% YoY to EUR 1,329 million with a flat underlying trend (excl. MTR cut).

 

·  

EBITDA in 3Q12 declined 5% to EUR 537 million, delivering a stable overall margin of 40.4%.

 

·  

Capex in 3Q12, excluding LTE spectrum, was EUR 197 million mainly invested in expanding coverage and capacity on the HSDPA mobile network and increasing the backhauling capacity to support the strong growth in data.

 

·  

Mobile subscriber growth remained solid in 3Q12 driven by the success of WIND’s “minuto vero” campaign which led to a 3% increase in subscribers to over 21.5 million. Mobile broadband also delivered a strong performance in the period with consumer subscribers increasing by more than 14% YoY.

 

·  

Mobile data ARPU grew by 11% YoY to EUR 4.0 reaching 29% of the total ARPU of EUR 14.0. Mobile voice ARPU in 3Q12 declined materially YoY as a result of the sharp MTR cut and competitive intensity coupled with the above mentioned ongoing success of WIND’s data only SIM card offerings for tablets, PCs and dongles which do not generate voice revenues.

 

·  

In fixed-line WIND’s focus on the direct market was clearly evident with the 1% growth in voice subscribers being entirely driven by the increase in direct voice subscribers, up 5.5% to 2.48 million. In fixed broadband the momentum remained strong, despite a seasonally weak quarter, with subscribers growing by 7% to 2.22 million, driven by a 9% increase in LLU Broadband customers, in line with the Company’s strategy. Dual-play subscribers grew by over 9% YoY to 1.85 million.

 

·  

Fixed-line ARPU decreased by 6% to EUR 30.7 in 3Q12 driven by the decline of pay per use traffic and prices coupled with promotional activity resulting from competitive pressure. Broadband ARPU declined marginally to EUR 18.7.

BUSINESS UNIT AFRICA & ASIA – FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

      Revenues of USD 904 million with organic growth of 5% YoY

 

      EBITDA of USD 424 million with organic growth of 6% YoY

 

      EBITDA margin of 46.9%, supported by good organic growth and operational excellence initiatives and despite the negative impact from Ramadan

 

     Subscriber base increased by 13% to more than 86 million

 

 

Revenues in the Africa & Asia business unit recorded an organic growth of 5%, but its actual results were adversely affected by the local currency devaluation against the US dollar in Algeria and Pakistan. Organic growth in revenues was driven by strong subscribers growth and an increase in data and Value-Added Services (VAS). EBITDA amounted to USD 424 million, an organic growth of 6%, mainly driven by strong EBITDA growth and healthy margins in Pakistan, as well as the ongoing operational excellence initiatives, a pillar to the Value Agenda.

ALGERIA (“DJEZZY”)

Djezzy grew its subscriber base by 9% YoY to reach 17.7 million customers by the end of 3Q12. Revenues increased by 2% YoY in local currency terms and was affected by the shift in Ramadan seasonality impacting the peak summer period of July. EBITDA increased 1% YoY in local currency terms. Despite the extremely challenging conditions with the on-going restrictions imposed on Orascom Telecom Algeria, Djezzy maintained its leadership position with a 56% market share.

PAKISTAN (“MOBILINK”)

During 3Q12, Mobilink maintained its focus on voice, data, VAS and customer acquisition offers along with brand building activities, all of which led to an 8% increase in subscribers YoY. Total subscribers were 36.1 million as at the end of 3Q12. Revenues for the quarter increased by 4% YoY in local currency terms. Revenue growth is attributable to the focus on customer acquisition, as well as increased data and VAS uptake. This quarter all cellular networks were closed in major cities on Government instructions on August 20th (Feast day) and September 21st, resulting in revenue loss for all cellular operators. Furthermore, revenues were impacted by monsoon and floods in the southern and central regions. Mobilink’s EBITDA grew by 10% YoY in local currency terms, mostly on account of growing revenue and ongoing cost control measures, including lower customer acquisition and retention costs.

BANGLADESH (“BANGLALINK”)

banglalink’s subscriber base increased 21% YoY in 3Q12, reaching 26.8 million customers. Revenues achieved a significant growth of 23% YoY in local currency terms, driven by a larger subscriber base, in addition to a higher level of VAS and data adoption, and targeted start-up and reactivation promotions. EBITDA increased 9% YoY in local currency terms. EBITDA growth in local currency was slowed by higher subscriber acquisition costs YoY, as well as a market dynamic of increased activations in September, in anticipation of lower future sales due to regulatory requirements on registration of sim cards prior to activation, which was implemented in mid-October.

SUB SAHARAN AFRICA (“TELECEL GLOBE”)

Telecel Globe subscribers increased nearly 50% in 3Q12 compared to the previous year, with strong additions for the quarter in Zimbabwe. Revenues, for Burundi and CAR combined, increased 23% YoY, as a result of a strong increase in subscribers alongside an increase in data revenues in Burundi. EBITDA showed significant improvement YoY, increasing 54%. In Zimbabwe, which is not consolidated, service revenues increased by 50% YoY while EBITDA increased by 80% YoY, mainly due to the 92% YoY increase in subscriber base.

SOUTH EAST ASIA

Subscribers in the South East Asia cluster increased 4% YoY after the exclusion of Vietnam subscribers from comparative figures for 2011. In Laos, new promotional guidelines for new sales and a customer registration decree had a negative impact on subscriber acquisition, which was mitigated by successful data uptake and a growing contribution to revenues. In Cambodia, the hosting of the ASEAN summit boosted roaming revenues for 3Q12.

     Mobile subs up 2% YoY to 25.2 million; Fixed BB subs up 70% YoY to 551 thousand

 

 

During the third quarter, VimpelCom continued to invest in solidifying its market position in the mobile segment. The Company showed a QoQ improvement in revenues and EBITDA, driven by an ongoing migration of its customers to bundled offerings and strong dynamics in fixed line revenues. VimpelCom recorded an EBITDA margin of 51.2% in 3Q12.

 

·  

Total revenues were up 4% to UAH 3.6 billion, due to a gradual recovery in the mobile segment, 11% growth in fixed line revenues and strong sales of handsets.

 

·  

Mobile service revenues were stable in 3Q12 versus the previous year and up 9% QoQ driven by the ongoing transition to bundle offerings. ARPU was down to UAH 42.3 from UAH 43.1 in 2Q11, due to the transition to bundles. The Company continues to see a temporary negative impact on ARPU and margins as a result of this transition, which will continue for the remainder of 2012.

 

·  

Fixed line revenues were up 11% on the back of strong FTTB revenues and wholesale transit in 3Q12. Fixed residential broadband revenue increased by 60% driven by an increase in fixed broadband subscriber base of 70% YoY to 551 thousand.

 

·  

Churn has increased to 8.4% as a result of higher sales and re-pricing activities. Although the churn level is still the lowest in the market, VimpelCom has launched a comprehensive churn reduction program.

·  

EBITDA decreased 1% YoY in 3Q12 to UAH 1.8 billion, due to higher service costs, higher subscriber acquisition costs reflecting increased sales and an increased network and IT costs. EBITDA margin for the quarter decreased 2.5 p.p. YoY to 51.2% due to the reasons mentioned above, but improved by 1 p.p. QoQ compared to 2Q12 as result of cost control measures and improving dynamics in the migration to bundles.

 

·  

LTM Capex/Revenues was 15% and showed a declining trend as a result of reduced investments in the FTTB network due to completion of the rollout, and in line with the infrastructure optimization initiatives within the Company’s Value Agenda.

 

·  

VimpelCom is taking actions to improve sales and margins in the coming quarters. The Company has launched a dedicated sales excellence program with regional differentiation in dealer commissions and tariffs. The Company is also continuing its pricing initiatives designed to improve service mobile revenue trends from 4Q12 onwards. These initiatives are focused on up-selling low and medium ARPU customers after they have transitioned to bundles. In addition to these measures, VimpelCom continues to focus on optimizing its cost base in order to maintain efficiency. With the aforementioned measures, the Company expects to further solidify its market position in 2013.

BUSINESS UNIT CIS – FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

   Strong organic growth of revenues of 17% YoY; incidental strong positive impact from Uzbekistan

 

   EBITDA of USD 234 million, with organic growth of 28% YoY, supported by one-off adjustments in Kazakhstan and by incidental strong revenue growth in Uzbekistan

 

   EBITDA margin of 49.0%, supported by one-off adjustments of USD 12.5 million in Kazakhstan

 

   Mobile subscribers up 23% YoY to 23 million; incidental strong positive impact from Uzbekistan

 

    Mobile BB subs up 35% YoY to 11.2 million; Fixed BB subs up 67% to 277 thousand

 

 

The CIS markets delivered double digit organic growth in revenue and EBITDA in 3Q12. Results were substantially impacted by the situation in Uzbekistan after the temporary network closure of a competitor by the Uzbek authorities.

VimpelCom has been able to increase its mobile subscriber base by 23%, mainly driven by 62% growth in subscribers in Uzbekistan. The Company continues to face strong competition in its markets, especially in Kazakhstan, but also in other markets like Armenia and Tajikistan. Churn is showing an increasing trend in Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Georgia and Kyrgyzstan, and VimpelCom launched a comprehensive churn reduction program in all of its CIS markets.

·  

In 3Q12, total revenues grew organically 17% YoY and 11% on a reported basis, with the main contributions coming from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Georgia. Reported revenues grew 11% to USD 478 million, impacted in part by disadvantageous forex movements. If Uzbekistan were adjusted to the growth level of 1H12, the underlying revenue growth in local currency would have had a similar YoY growth trend as that seen in 2Q12.

·  

Total mobile revenue increased organically by 20% YoY in 3Q12 supported by strong subscriber growth in Uzbekistan and 60% YoY data growth, resulting from increasing data services consumption.

·  

Fixed line revenues declined organically by 6% YoY, impacted mainly by voice and wholesale revenue decline in Armenia and Tajikistan.

·  

EBITDA grew organically by 28% and on an actual basis by 18% mainly on the back of incidental strong mobile revenue growth in Uzbekistan and one-off adjustments in Kazakhstan totaling USD 12.5 million, primarily related to the release of a provision.

·  

EBITDA margin of 49.0% in 3Q12 was 3 p.p. higher than 3Q11, impacted in part by the one-off adjustments in Kazakhstan and the contribution from Uzbekistan.

LTM Capex/Revenues was 29% and showed a declining trend, in line with investment plans. The Company’s main investment projects, focused on data development, are on schedule and network expansion continues to support both traffic and revenue growth.

KAZAKHSTAN

Kazakhstan, the largest market in the CIS, reported a revenue decline of 0.3% YoY organically in 3Q12. The results were affected by the competitive environment and a limitation on tariffs introduced by the regulator last year, which led to an APPM decline. VimpelCom protected its market position by focusing on the quality of subscribers and on mobile broadband subscriber growth. Consequently, data revenue increased by 22% and mobile subscribers increased by 4% YoY. EBITDA grew 6% YoY and EBITDA margin was 51.6%, supported by the USD 12.5 million one-off adjustments described above.

UZBEKISTAN

In Uzbekistan VimpelCom substantially strengthened its market position in 3Q12 after the forced closure of a competitor´s network. Revenue was up 88% organically YoY in 3Q12, supported by a 62% YoY increase in the subscriber base as well as 26% ARPU growth. If this were adjusted to the growth level of 1H12, the underlying revenue growth would have been approximately 35% YoY. EBITDA grew 123% and EBITDA margin was 56.2%, a sharp increase from 47.3% in 3Q11, supported by interconnect cost reduction and control of structural OPEX. If the EBITDA growth were adjusted to the growth level of 1H12, the underlying growth would have been 45% YoY. The main focus of management in Uzbekistan is to sustain network quality and further improve network capacity to service subscribers.

ARMENIA

Revenues in Armenia declined organically by 11% YoY in 3Q12, mainly as a result of declining fixed voice and wholesale revenues. Mobile data revenues grew by 24% YoY. EBITDA declined 4% YoY. EBITDA margin increased 3.1 p.p. to 43.5% on the back of strict cost control.

KYRGYZSTAN

Kyrgyzstan continued to show positive dynamics in revenue and EBITDA growth. In local currency, revenue grew 20%, supported by subscriber base growth of 6%, and EBITDA grew organically by 21% YoY, resulting in an increased EBITDA margin in local currency of 55.7%. ARPU grew 10% YoY in 3Q12. Mobile broadband subscriber growth of 27% YoY coupled with the increase in mobile data usage resulted in significant mobile data revenue growth, up 104% YoY.

GEORGIA

Georgia delivered strong results in 3Q12, with subscriber base growth of 25%, revenue growth of 25% and a 32% increase in EBITDA YoY in local currency. EBITDA margin increased 1.4 p.p. YoY to 29.8% due to structural OPEX control. The Company was able to strengthen its market position further in 3Q12.

TAJIKISTAN

In Tajikistan, revenues increased organically by 6% YoY for 3Q12, while EBITDA increased by 17% YoY supported by increased high margin international traffic, leading to a 4.8 p.p. increase in EBITDA margin to 52.2%. Competition is strong with aggressive tariffs for calls to Russia, but VimpelCom is showing positive dynamics and strengthening its market position. Data revenue grew strongly by 118% supported by an increase in mobile broadband subscribers of 14% and an increase in average revenue per data user, in line with increasing usage of data services.

ATTACHMENT E: DEFINITIONS

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. VimpelCom calculates EBITDA as profit for the period before depreciation, amortization, impairment loss, finance costs, income tax expense and the other line items reflected in the reconciliation table above. Our Russia Business Unit excludes certain expenses from their EBITDA. EBITDA margin is calculated as EBITDA divided by total operating revenues. EBITDA and EBITDA margin 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 and EBITDA margin include the key revenue and expense items for which the company’s operating managers are responsible and upon which their performance is evaluated. EBITDA and EBITDA margin also assist management and investors by increasing the comparability of the company’s performance against the performance of other telecommunications companies that provide EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) or OIBDA (operating income before depreciation and amortization) 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 profit between periods. However, our EBITDA results may not be directly comparable to other companies’ reported EBITDA or OIBDA 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 or 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 profit for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is presented in Attachment C.

EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and is calculated as EBITDA plus depreciation, amortization, impairment loss and loss on disposals of non-current assets. 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 costs and Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others. Reconciliation of EBIT to profit for the period, the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, is presented in Attachment C. EBIT equals operating profit.

Net foreign exchange (loss)/gain and others represents the sum of Net foreign exchange loss, Shares of loss/(profit) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, and Other non-operating losses/(gains). 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.

Net income equals profit for the period attributable to the owners of the parent.

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 & Asia (except SEA) visitors roaming revenue is excluded from service revenues.

APPM (Average Price Per Minute) is a measure used by management to assess the average price our mobile subscribers pay for using our mobile services.

MTR (Mobile Termination Rate) is a rate a mobile operator receives from other operators for terminating calls on its mobile network.

MNP (Mobile Number Portability) is an option for mobile subscribers to retain their mobile phone number when switching from one mobile operator to another.

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 (in Italy also includes EDGE). 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 & 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 GAAP financial measure and is calculated as gross debt represented by principal amounts of interest bearing loans, bonds, equipment financing and loans from others minus cash and cash equivalents, as well as long-term and short-term deposits. 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 or as an alternative to other financial liabilities, or any other measure of the company financial position. Reconciliation of net debt to other financial liabilities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented in Attachment C.

Reportable segments, the Company identified Russia, Europe and North America, Africa & 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.

Organic growth Revenue and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and EBITDA excluding foreign currency movements and other factors, such as business under liquidation, disposals, mergers and acquisitions. We believe investors should consider these measures as they are more indicative of our ongoing performance and management uses these measures to evaluate the Company’s operational results and trends. Reconciliation of organic growth of revenue and EBITDA to reported growth of revenue and EBITDA is presented in Attachment C.
