Europe remains the single largest marketaccounting for 55% of metal sales;

Reduction of Russia and CIS sales from14% to 7% of total, due to the relocation ofsales to international markets;

Increase of sales to North and SouthAmerica to 15%, mainly due to theincreased physical demand for palladium;

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin

Higher realized metal prices had a positive impact on EBITDA of USD743 mln;

Appreciation of RUB against USD and domestic inflation contributed negatively to EBITDA by USD357 mln;

One-off factors: higher base effect in 1H2016 due to metal stock release of USD212 mln and increased social expenses in 1H2017 had a combined negative impact on EBITDA of USD352 mln;

Decrease in metal sales volume of USD106 mln was primarily driven by accumulation of metal stock (mainly copper) in 1H2017 owing to an extension of navigation break at the port of Dudinka;

Metal production growth(1) vs. 2015 by2% due to increased copper and PGMvolumes: Higher metals grade in ore; Processing of copper concentrate

purchased from Rostec, starting from2017;

2016: one-off decline due to build-up of work-in-progress inventory resulting from downstream reconfiguration and commissioning of upgraded Talnakh Concentrator;

2H2017 Outlook

Neutral on nickel: the market to run small deficit on strong stainless steel demand absorbing increased supply of mined feed, with trending down exchange stocks still running well above historical averages;

Neutral on copper: market to remain fairly balanced, spot price persists above cost curve, upside risks dependant on further supply disruptions and stronger-than-expected Chinese consumption;

Positive on palladium: a major deficit persists on the back of continuing industrial demand growth;

Neutral on platinum: market has entered a moderate surplus owing to a weaker industrial demand as the European car industry is gradually shifting away from diesel engines;

2017 Metal production guidance(1) :

• Ni 206-211 kt

• Cu 377-387 kt

• Pd 2,636-2,732 koz

• Pt 581-645 koz

2017 Capex: USD2 billion (including approximately USD0.6 billion for Bystrinsky Project);

Working capital: USD1.3-1.5bn by 2017YE as capital structure is optimized towards lower-interest cost instruments and advances from customers being renegotiated;

Net debt/EBITDA: >1.8x by 2017YE(2);

Interim dividend: to be announced in August and payable by the year end 2017;
