Net sales of gas to Europe and other countries decreased by RUB 748,850 million, or 40 %, to RUB 1,135,130 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was due to the decrease in average prices (including excise tax and customs duties) denominated in the Russian Ruble by 34 % and the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 10 %, or 17.0 bcm. At the same time average prices denominated in the US Dollar decreased by 40 %.

The change was due to the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 21 %, or 5.7 bcm, and the decrease in average prices (including customs duties) denominated in the Russian Ruble by 5 %. At the same time average prices denominated in the US Dollar decreased by 13 %.
Net sales of gas in the Russian Federation decreased by RUB 43,243 million, or 6 %, to RUB 622,882 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year. This change was mainly explained by the decrease in volumes of gas sold by 7 %, or 11.8 bcm.
Net sales of refined products (net of excise tax, VAT and customs duties) decreased by RUB 290,384 million, or 18 %, to RUB 1,301,542 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in net sales of refined products was mainly due to a decrease in average prices denominated in the Russian Ruble in all geographic segments.
Net sales of crude oil and gas condensate (net of VAT and customs duties) decreased by RUB 230,220 million, or 40 %, to RUB 343,161 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year. The change was mainly due to a decrease in net sales of crude oil primarily caused by a decrease in average prices of crude oil.
Operating expenses decreased by RUB 673,654 million to RUB 3,944,332 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year.
The decrease in operating expenses was mainly caused by the decrease in expenses in the item “Purchased gas and oil” by RUB 423,819 million, or 40 %, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year caused by a decrease in average prices of gas and oil and a decrease in volumes of purchased gas and oil.
The foreign exchange gain on operating items amounted to RUB 166,574 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the foreign exchange loss in the amount of RUB 68,013 million for the same period of the prior year. This change was mainly due to the revaluation of accounts receivable from foreign customers and loans issued, which was caused by the appreciation of the US Dollar and the Euro against the Russian Ruble by 29 % and 34 %, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the depreciation of the US Dollar and the Euro against the Russian Ruble by 7 % and 12 %, respectively, for the same period of the prior year.
The decrease in the item “Taxes other than on profit” by RUB 134,708 million, or 13 %, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to the same period of the prior year was mainly due to a decrease in the mineral extraction tax expenses, mainly caused by a decrease in oil prices and a decrease in volumes of gas production.
The balance of foreign exchange differences reflected within the item “Net finance (expenses) income” produced the loss in the amount of RUB 749,452 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the gain in the amount of RUB 230,816 million for the same period of the prior year. This fact had a major impact on the financial result of the Gazprom Group.
Loss attributable to the owners of PJSC Gazprom amounted to RUB 218,378 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Net debt balance (defined as the sum of short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term borrowings, short-term promissory notes payable, long-term borrowings, long-term promissory notes payable, less cash and cash equivalents) increased by RUB 1,295,949 million, or 41 %, from RUB 3,167,847 million as of December 31, 2019 to RUB 4,463,796 million as of September 30, 2020. This change was mainly due to an increase in the amount of long-term borrowings denominated in the Russian Ruble caused by the appreciation of the US Dollar and the Euro against the Russian Ruble.
