Anatoly Ufimkin, CEO comments on 9M 2007 results: "The last day of the 3rd quarter happened to be
the birthday of our interregional company. This year saw our 5th anniversary. Consolidation of strength, possibilities
and resources of 7 formerly independent regional operators had a great impact on company development. Five years
ago we had 2 952.0 thous. fixed-line subscribers and only 445.0 thous. mobile subscribers. At present our subscriber
base reached 3 687.0 thous. fixed-line and 4 843.0 thous. mobile subscribers. The company had a great success on
mass broadband market: 2006 started with 17.0 thous., at present we have 236.0 thous. Internet subscribers. Finally,
5 years ago company market value was US$ 480.0 mln., at present we have it at US$ 2 402.0 mln. Generally, 9M
2007 results show further dynamic development of the company. Revenue growth was mainly influenced by
non-regulated telecom services (54.0% of growth): mobile services (37.0%) and data transmission services (17.0%).
At the same time we work on optimization of personnel and social benefits expenses (-0.5%). As a result, net profit
increased by 46.1%".
