Kyiv, 27 April 2018
DTEK Energy disclosed audited consolidated financial statements for 12 months of 2017 that ended on 31 December 2017.
“The main challenge faced by the company in 2017 was the termination of control over its undertakings located behind the demarcation line. We focused on increasing the production of steam coal. As a result, the company was able to launch a program for replacing anthracite coal with these coal grades in energy productions, and thus increase the load on TPP capacities,” noted DTEK Energy’s CEO Dmitrii Sakharuk. “We plan to continue our efforts aimed at the reduction of the share of imported energy resources in the company’s fuel portfolio in 2018. Another two generating units of DTEK Prydniprovska TPP will be converted to firing domestic coal. Miners will support energy workers, and we expect that the production of grade G coal will increase by 7% and will hit 24 million tons. I can say with confidence that these projects will foster energy security of Ukraine.”
The net loss of DTEK Energy for 2017 was UAH 2.9 billion. The company’s financial performance indicators remain affected by the loss of assets located on the temporary occupied regions in the Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. The aggregate loss resulting from the write-off and impairment of assets and from the restructuring of obligations totaled UAH 4.4 billion.
The absolute production costs increased by 8% (UAH 9.2 billion) compared to 2016. This increase was caused by rising technology fuel, equipment, and consumables prices.
In 2017, the company paid UAH 17 billion of state and local taxes, which is 29.8%, or UAH 3.9 billion, higher YoY.
The company’s capital investments grew by 37.2% (UAH 2.3 billion) YoY and reached UAH 8.4 billion. By increasing capital investments, the company was able to boost the production of steam coal and convert two energy generating units to use this coal grade instead of anthracite. Considering that energy production is a capital-intensive industry on a global scale, and this is specifically a case in Ukraine due to heavy wear of capacities, the company plans to continue increasing its capital investments. Capital expenditures will be channeled to maintain production volumes, upgrade production facilities, and continue the implementation of the program for the conversion of energy generating units from anthracite to steam coal grades.
