Business overview
We are one of the leading global manufacturers and suppliers of tubular
products for the oil and gas industry, as well as other industrial applications.
We are the leading manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes for the oil and
gas industry in Russia. The largest share of our sales belongs to high-margin
oil country tubular goods (OCTG).
We operate 24 production sites, which are geographically diversified with
locations in Russia, the United States, Romania and Kazakhstan, and supply
to more than 65 countries worldwide. In the first nine months of 2011, 62%
of our sales volumes were derived from the clients located in Russia, and
23% from the clients located in North America.
In the first nine months of 2011, the Russian pipe market continued to
recover from the economic downturn and grew 23% as compared to the first
nine months of 2010. Sales volumes of our tubular products in the Russian
market grew significantly as well; however our market share decreased
from 26% to 24% as a result of growing production facilities of other pipe
producers and higher imports, in particular from the Ukraine. Nevertheless,
we retained a strong market position for our key products, maintaining a
58% market share in seamless OCTG and 69% in seamless line pipe sales.
We are the largest exporter of pipes in Russia. Export sales of pipes
produced in Russia constituted 13% for the first nine months of 2011,
remaining at the level of respective period of 2010.
In January to September 2011, we sold 3,168 thousand tonnes of tubular
products, an increase of 11% compared to the same period of 2010,
including 1,763 thousand tonnes of seamless pipes. Our sales of seamless
and welded OCTG achieved 1,131 thousand tonnes, a 4% increase
compared to the first nine months of 2010.
In January to September 2011, we reported total consolidated revenue of
U.S.$5,151 million, up 31% as compared to the same period of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to U.S.$827 million in the first nine
months of 2011 from U.S.$649 million in the first nine months of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA margin equaled to 16% in the first nine months of 2011
as compared to 17% in the same period of 2010.
In the third quarter of 2011, our sales volumes declined as compared to
those in the each of the preceding two quarters, as, usually, market activities
are lower in that quarter of each year and we made our planned equipment
maintenance works during that time. However we managed to sustain
positive development trend for the first nine months 2011 as compared to
the respective period of 2010.
