SHARE MARKET IN 2012

Positive changes in the global stock markets in 2012 were mainly determined by active steps taken by the world’s biggest central banks to stimulate the global economy. For instance, the ECB and the People’s Bank of China lowered their interest rates, the ECB announced its willingness to buy unlimited quantities of eurozone government bonds, the US Federal Reserve launched a new quantitative easing program, and the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan expanded their programs of buying assets. Another positive factor for the markets was the settlement of the Greece issue: the second bailout tranche received by Greece and the reform carried out by the country’s government averted the threat of Greece’s exiting the euro area.

Overall, the MSCI World grew by 13.2%, while the MSCI Emerging Markets went up by 15.1% in 2012.

The Russian market closed the year worse than the developed and developing stock markets. The MICEX Index went up by 5.2% in 2012. The Russian market was under pressure from weak crude oil prices, which rose by 3.5% in 2012, and the deterioration of the Russian economy’s prospects.

CHANGES IN SHARE PRICES OF RUSSIAN ELECTRIC UTILITIES

The MICEX Power Index (MICEX PWR) lost 16.8% in 2012, demonstrating a bigger decline than the overall market for the second year in a row amid continuing regulatory pressure and a high level of uncertainty about the sector’s development prospects. The most important of the factors affecting the market changes in 2012 are as follows:

  • In January, the Ministry of Energy agreed with energy companies to freeze electricity prices, including free prices at the December 2011 level;
  • In April, the Prime Minister stated that it was necessary to continue the policy of keeping down the tariffs of “natural monopolies, infrastructural monopolies, and government-linked companies”;
  • In May, the President signed two decrees, including FGC UES, RusHydro, and the Company on the list of strategic companies and granting Rosneftegaz the right to buy privatized companies of the fuel and energy sector;
  • In June, President signed the decree to appoint a special commission on the strategic development of Russia’s fuel and energy sector. The commission was in charge of dealing with the sector’s strategic issues, while the governmental commission on the fuel and energy sector continued to address operational issues;
  • In November, the Ministry of Economic Development put forward proposals to substantially limit monopoly tariffs starting from 2016 in order to ensure the competitiveness of industrial production as part of preparing the forecast of Russia’s socioeconomic development for the period until 2030;
  • Decree of President of the Russian Federation was signed in November which specifies renaming Holding MRSK into JSC Russian Grids and that the Russian Federation’s contribution to the authorized capital of JSC Russian Grids will be federally owned shares in JSC FGC UES as payment for additional shares to be placed by JSC Russian Grids in connection with an increase in its authorized capital while the Russian Federation will retain its stake of at least one share in the authorized capital JSC FGC UES.

Therefore, securities of the sector’s companies were under pressure from regulatory and political decisions in 2012.

The total market capitalization of Interregional and Regional Distribution Grid Companies (IDGCs/DGCs) in 2012 decreased by only 0.8%. the Company’s market cap went down by 4.6%. Changes in these indicators were worse than changes in the MICEX Index but better than changes in the MICEX Power Index.

At the end of 2012, the market capitalization of distribution companies was 297.5 billion rubles, demonstrating a small decrease of 2.1% as compared with 2011.

The volatility of the Company shares in 2012 determined a wide range of changes in the premium/discount value of the Company’s market cap in relation to the total market capitalization of the Company’s stakes in IDGCs traded on the Moscow Exchange. The year 2012 closed with a more than 10% discount: shares in IDGCs nourished expectations about the pilot deals aimed at reducing the Company’s stakes in distribution grid companies in 2013.
