Sergei Mikhailov, the CEO of Cherkizovo Group, commented:
'We continued to see stronger financial performance during the third quarter, particularly in the meat processing segment, which delivered year- on-year EBITDA growth of 38%. The uptick we have seen over the last two quarters has been partially driven by many improvements we have made in operational efficiency. The markets we operate in are also showing tentative signs of recovery, with the stabilisation of both pork and poultry prices carrying through to the third quarter.
'While the broader economic recovery in Russia remains fragile for now, Cherkizovo Group continues to follow its diversification strategy by focusing on the value-added products, improving operational efficiency and further expanding into international markets. We have recently received permission to export our poultry products to the EU, which is a significant step forward in building our future export portfolio. With the progress that we are making in expanding exports and our strong and growing market position in Russia, we are well-positioned to capture future growth opportunities both domestically and internationally and have redoubled our efforts to achieve operational and working capital efficiencies and continue to deliver improved profitability and cash flow results.'

Revenue
Net sales increased by 6% year-on-year in the nine months of 2016 to RUB 59.2 billion, compared to RUB 56.0 billion in the corresponding period of 2015. The main drivers behind this growth were the poultry and meat processing segments. In the third quarter sales growth was flat at RUB 20.4 billion.
Gross Profit
Gross profit fell by 11% year-on-year to RUB 13.0 billion from RUB 14.6 billion in the nine months of 2015. The majority of this decrease can be attributed to the poultry and pork segments, where a significant share of expenses is pegged to foreign currency. As a result of higher costs, the gross margin consequently fell to 22.0% in the nine months of 2016 from 26.1% in the corresponding period of 2015. In the third quarter gross profit decreased by 4% quarter-on-quarter to RUB 4.9 billion, compared to RUB 5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by 16% year-on-year to RUB 9.5 billion, compared to RUB 8.2 billion in the nine months of 2015, as a result of higher payroll, taxes (transportation, property) and other selling expenses. In the third quarter, however, operating expenses fell by 6% quarter-on-quarter to RUB 3.1 billion. Operating Expenses as percentage of sales increased to 16.0% in the nine months of 2016 from 14.6% in the corresponding period of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA
In the first nine months of 2016, adjusted EBITDA fell by 46% year-on-year to RUB 5.3 billion from RUB 9.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2015. The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 9.0% in 9M 2016. Nonetheless, in the third quarter of 2016, EBITDA demonstrated growth of 31% and reached RUB 2.6 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 2.0 billion).
Interest Expense
Interest expense was up 28% year-on-year to RUB 3.5 billion in the nine months of 2016. The main drivers behind the increase were a 23% year-on- year increase in total loan portfolio to RUB 40.0 billion (9M 2015: RUB 32.5 billion), as well as a rise in bank's interest rates. Net interest expense for 9M 2016 was RUB 1.9 billion, up 126% from the 2015 level of RUB 0.9 billion. The Group accrued RUB 1.5 billion of subsidies in the nine months of 2016 included in the net interest expense above, a year-on-year decrease of 17%.
Net Profit
Net profit for the Group came in at RUB 2.2 billion, a decrease of 60% year-on-year from RUB 5.4 billion in the nine months of 2015. The Net Profit margin fell to 3.7% from 9.7% in the nine months of 2015.
Cash Flow
Net operating cash flow for nine months of 2016 was RUB 5.1 billion, compared with RUB 5.4 billion in the nine months of 2015. This was mostly the result of decreasing operating income.

Poultry Division
Sales volume in the first nine months of 2016 increased by 9% year-on-year to 372,070 tons of sellable weight, from 341,370 tons in the corresponding period of 2015. This growth was driven by higher production levels, which resulted from improvements in efficiency, sales of excess inventory and the launch of new poultry houses at the Mosselprom production facility. In the third quarter of 2016, sales volume decreased by 4% quarter-on-quarter to 119,720 tons of sellable weight. This was a result of the Lipetsk Chicken Kingdom poultry production facility shifting to produce halal products, which weigh less than the non-halal equivalents, for exports.
The average price during the first nine months of 2016 dropped by 3% year- on-year to 92.26 RUB/kg [1] due to the market's remaining on the back of consumers' falling purchasing power. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the average price grew by 6% to 96.89 RUB/kg.
Total sales for the division increased 7% year-on-year to RUB 34.5 billion (9M 2015: RUB 32.1 billion). Sales increased 1% quarter-on-quarter and reached RUB 11.6 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 11.5 billion)
Gross profit fell by 19% year-on-year to RUB 4.9 billion from RUB 6.1 billion in the first nine months of 2015 as costs for feed components, hatching eggs and veterinary supplies are denominated in foreign currency. The negative effect was mostly evident in the first quarter of the year when the Russian ruble hit a new historical low. Even though the currency exchange situation has stabilised since then, the average real exchange rate for the first nine months of 2016 was still 15% lower year-on-year. The gross margin for 9M 2016 decreased to 14.3% from 18.9% in the corresponding period of 2015. Between the second and third quarter of 2016, the segment's gross profit has delivered growth of 26%.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 10.9% for the first nine months of the year (9M 2015: 11.3%).
Operating income fell by 52% year-on-year to RUB 1.2 billion from RUB 2.5 billion in the first nine months of 2015, while operating margin fell to 3.4% from 7.7% in the corresponding period of last year. Net profit for the division came in at RUB 0.3 billion, a year-on-year drop of 90%. This was mainly a result of the costs of feed components and other direct materials being pegged to foreign currencies.
Adjusted EBITDA dropped 48% year-on-year to RUB 2.2 billion (9M 2015: RUB 4.2 billion), while the adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 6.3% from 13.0% in the first nine months of 2015. However, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, EBITDA grew by 47% in the third quarter and reached RUB 1.2 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 0.8 billion).
Pork Division
In the first nine months of 2016, sales volume in the pork division increased by 7% year-on-year to 131,581 tons of sellable weight. This was primarily due to a new genetics improvement strategy launched by the management at the beginning of the year to improve pigs' health status and efficiency by increasing livability and weekly farrows. Meanwhile, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, sales volume fell by 4% to 44,679 tons as improvements in production levels and the genetics strategy outpaced the growth of available finishing space.
In 9M 2016, the average price decreased by 16% year-on-year to 86.59 RUB/ kg, while on a quarter-on-quarter basis, it increased by 10% to 93.19 RUB/ kg. The year-on-year drop was a result of Russian consumers' lower purchasing power and an overall increase in pork production across the country. The quarter-on-quarter improvement was due to an outbreak of ASF along with a steady decline of imports, which begun in June.
Total sales in the pork division fell 12% year-on-year to RUB 11.2 billion (9M 2015: RUB 12.7 billion). This dip in sales was expected as the average price fell by 16% year-on-year. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, however, sales increased by 5% and reached RUB 4.1 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 3.9 billion).
Gross profit for the nine months of 2016 stood at RUB 3.3 billion, a year- on-year drop of 14%, due to feed components and medication costs being denominated in foreign currencies. The segment's gross margin fell to 29.8% from 30.5% in 9M 2015. Nonetheless, the pork segment's gross profit increased by 21% between the second and third quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were slightly higher compared to the corresponding period of last year and stood at 4.9% (9M 2015: 3.3%). Transportation tax was the main driver of the expense growth.
Operating income fell by 19% year-on-year to RUB 2.8 billion from RUB 3.5 billion in the nine months of 2015. The operating margin dropped to 24.9% from 27.2% the corresponding period last year. Net profit decreased by 25% year-on-year to RUB 2.4 billion (9M 2015: RUB 3.2 billion).
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to RUB 2.5 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 54%. The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 22.1% in the nine months of 2016 from 42.4% in 9M 2015. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, adjusted EBITDA demonstrated growth of 44%.
Meat Processing Division
During 9M 2016, sales volume in the meat processing division grew by 17% year-on-year to 158,647 tons from 135,247 tons in the nine months of 2015. This increase was the result of the launch of a new pig slaughter facility at the Dankov meat processing plant in the second half of 2015, which boosted both volume and product assortment. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, sales volume increased by 3% in the third quarter to 55,749 tons.
In the nine months of 2016, the average price fell by 4% year-on-year to 166.91 RUB/kg due to non-sausage products from the Dankov meat processing plant representing a greater share of sales. The average price increased by 5% quarter-on-quarter to 171.49 RUB/kg due to higher demand for sausages and B2B/B2C products in the third quarter.
Total sales were 9% higher in the nine months of 2016 and reached RUB 22.8 billion (9M 2015: RUB 20.8 billion). In the third quarter, sales grew by 6% quarter-on-quarter.
Gross profit for the nine months of the year increased 29% year-on-year to RUB 3.9 billion, compared to RUB 3.0 billion in the corresponding period of 2015. The gross margin rose to 17.1% from 14.4% in the nine months of 2015. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, gross profit remained flat.
In the first nine months of 2016, operating expenses as a percentage of sales grew slightly to 11.9%, compared to 10.4% in the corresponding period of 2015. This was a result of higher transportation and payroll expenses.
In 9M 2016, operating income increased by 39% year-on-year to RUB 1.2 billion from RUB 0.8 billion in 9M 2015. The operating margin rose to 5.1% from 4.1% in 9M 2015. In the nine months of 2016, the meat processing segment generated net profit of RUB 1.1 billion, almost twice that of the corresponding period of 2015 (RUB 0.6 billion).
In the nine months of 2016, adjusted EBITDA demonstrated growth of 38% and reached RUB 1.6 billion (9M 2015: RUB 1.2 billion). The adjusted EBITDA margin reached 7.2% in 9M 2016, compared to 5.7% in 9M 2015. Adjusted EBITDA growth decreased by 12% on a quarter-on-quarter basis to RUB 0.6 billion.
Grain Division
Cherkizovo has begun its 2016 harvesting campaign and Russian harvests are expected to reach record levels this year. The Group expects to harvest a total of 500,000 tons of crops this year; wheat yields have already exceeded the budget.
Due to the seasonality of this business, the results of this segment are reported annually to better reflect the business performance and provide the appropriate basis for comparison.
Financial Position
The Group's capital expenditure on the property, plants, equipment and maintenance amounted to RUB 7.4 billion in the nine months of 2016, a year- on-year decrease of 8%. Of that, RUB 2.4 billion was invested into the poultry division, primarily into the construction of the hatchery and grain storage facility in the Lipetsk region (Eletsprom Project). In the pork division, RUB 2.3 billion was invested into purchasing equipment for the new finisher complexes in the Voronezh region, as well as constructing new finisher complexes in the Lipetsk region. The meat processing division received RUB 1.2 billion of investments for the construction of the Kashira meat processing plant in the Moscow Region. In the grain division, RUB 1.1 billion was invested into the construction of a new grain drying facility. Cherkizovo Group has also invested RUB 0.6 billion into the Tambov Turkey project.
As of 30 September, 2016, Net Debt amounted to RUB 38.4 billion, compared to RUB 35.0 billion at the end of 2015. Total debt was at RUB 40.0 billion as of 30 September 2016, a decrease of 3% from the end of 2015. As of 30 September 2016, long-term debt represented 39% of the debt portfolio and was RUB 15.8 billion. Short-term debt stood at RUB 24.3 billion, or 61% of the portfolio. The effective cost of debt was 6.1% in the nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: 3.2%). Subsidised loans and credit lines made up 77% of the debt portfolio in the nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: 86%). Cash and cash equivalents totalled RUB 1.0 billion as of 30 September, 2016.
Subsidies
In the first nine months of 2016, the Group accrued subsidies for interest reimbursement of RUB 1.5 billion, which offset interest expense (9M 2015: RUB 1.9 billion). The Group received RUB 1.1 billion of subsidies in 9M 2016, compared to RUB 1.4 billion in 9M 2015.
2016 Outlook
The third quarter has brought stability to the meat sales and pricing environment, which continues to improve as meat consumption in Russia shows some signs of growth. Both pork and poultry prices have also bottomed out and the Group expects this improving trend to continue in the fourth quarter this year. However, it is still too early to assess whether this positive trend will carry forward into next year.
The Group's export strategy is making a good progress as its shipments to Tanzania and Egypt have begun, and permission to export poultry products to the EU has also been granted. By the end of the year, Cherkizovo will start exporting poultry to Angola. The Group's total export volume is expected to reach 10,000 tons in the fourth quarter of 2016.
On the domestic market, the Tambov Turkey project is now fully operational with first shipments of turkey products set to begin in the fourth quarter of the year. In 2017, the facility will reach its full production capacity of 50,000 tons of turkey meat, which will position the Company as one of Russia's top turkey producers.
For the full year, the Company expects production and revenue growth across all segments, although the margins will be lower than last year following a challenging first quarter.

Sergei Mikhailov, the CEO of Cherkizovo Group, commented:
'We continued to see stronger financial performance during the third quarter, particularly in the meat processing segment, which delivered year- on-year EBITDA growth of 38%. The uptick we have seen over the last two quarters has been partially driven by many improvements we have made in operational efficiency. The markets we operate in are also showing tentative signs of recovery, with the stabilisation of both pork and poultry prices carrying through to the third quarter.
'While the broader economic recovery in Russia remains fragile for now, Cherkizovo Group continues to follow its diversification strategy by focusing on the value-added products, improving operational efficiency and further expanding into international markets. We have recently received permission to export our poultry products to the EU, which is a significant step forward in building our future export portfolio. With the progress that we are making in expanding exports and our strong and growing market position in Russia, we are well-positioned to capture future growth opportunities both domestically and internationally and have redoubled our efforts to achieve operational and working capital efficiencies and continue to deliver improved profitability and cash flow results.'

Revenue
Net sales increased by 6% year-on-year in the nine months of 2016 to RUB 59.2 billion, compared to RUB 56.0 billion in the corresponding period of 2015. The main drivers behind this growth were the poultry and meat processing segments. In the third quarter sales growth was flat at RUB 20.4 billion.
Gross Profit
Gross profit fell by 11% year-on-year to RUB 13.0 billion from RUB 14.6 billion in the nine months of 2015. The majority of this decrease can be attributed to the poultry and pork segments, where a significant share of expenses is pegged to foreign currency. As a result of higher costs, the gross margin consequently fell to 22.0% in the nine months of 2016 from 26.1% in the corresponding period of 2015. In the third quarter gross profit decreased by 4% quarter-on-quarter to RUB 4.9 billion, compared to RUB 5.1 billion in the second quarter of 2016.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by 16% year-on-year to RUB 9.5 billion, compared to RUB 8.2 billion in the nine months of 2015, as a result of higher payroll, taxes (transportation, property) and other selling expenses. In the third quarter, however, operating expenses fell by 6% quarter-on-quarter to RUB 3.1 billion. Operating Expenses as percentage of sales increased to 16.0% in the nine months of 2016 from 14.6% in the corresponding period of last year.
Adjusted EBITDA
In the first nine months of 2016, adjusted EBITDA fell by 46% year-on-year to RUB 5.3 billion from RUB 9.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2015. The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 9.0% in 9M 2016. Nonetheless, in the third quarter of 2016, EBITDA demonstrated growth of 31% and reached RUB 2.6 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 2.0 billion).
Interest Expense
Interest expense was up 28% year-on-year to RUB 3.5 billion in the nine months of 2016. The main drivers behind the increase were a 23% year-on- year increase in total loan portfolio to RUB 40.0 billion (9M 2015: RUB 32.5 billion), as well as a rise in bank's interest rates. Net interest expense for 9M 2016 was RUB 1.9 billion, up 126% from the 2015 level of RUB 0.9 billion. The Group accrued RUB 1.5 billion of subsidies in the nine months of 2016 included in the net interest expense above, a year-on-year decrease of 17%.
Net Profit
Net profit for the Group came in at RUB 2.2 billion, a decrease of 60% year-on-year from RUB 5.4 billion in the nine months of 2015. The Net Profit margin fell to 3.7% from 9.7% in the nine months of 2015.
Cash Flow
Net operating cash flow for nine months of 2016 was RUB 5.1 billion, compared with RUB 5.4 billion in the nine months of 2015. This was mostly the result of decreasing operating income.

Poultry Division
Sales volume in the first nine months of 2016 increased by 9% year-on-year to 372,070 tons of sellable weight, from 341,370 tons in the corresponding period of 2015. This growth was driven by higher production levels, which resulted from improvements in efficiency, sales of excess inventory and the launch of new poultry houses at the Mosselprom production facility. In the third quarter of 2016, sales volume decreased by 4% quarter-on-quarter to 119,720 tons of sellable weight. This was a result of the Lipetsk Chicken Kingdom poultry production facility shifting to produce halal products, which weigh less than the non-halal equivalents, for exports.
The average price during the first nine months of 2016 dropped by 3% year- on-year to 92.26 RUB/kg [1] due to the market's remaining on the back of consumers' falling purchasing power. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, the average price grew by 6% to 96.89 RUB/kg.
Total sales for the division increased 7% year-on-year to RUB 34.5 billion (9M 2015: RUB 32.1 billion). Sales increased 1% quarter-on-quarter and reached RUB 11.6 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 11.5 billion)
Gross profit fell by 19% year-on-year to RUB 4.9 billion from RUB 6.1 billion in the first nine months of 2015 as costs for feed components, hatching eggs and veterinary supplies are denominated in foreign currency. The negative effect was mostly evident in the first quarter of the year when the Russian ruble hit a new historical low. Even though the currency exchange situation has stabilised since then, the average real exchange rate for the first nine months of 2016 was still 15% lower year-on-year. The gross margin for 9M 2016 decreased to 14.3% from 18.9% in the corresponding period of 2015. Between the second and third quarter of 2016, the segment's gross profit has delivered growth of 26%.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 10.9% for the first nine months of the year (9M 2015: 11.3%).
Operating income fell by 52% year-on-year to RUB 1.2 billion from RUB 2.5 billion in the first nine months of 2015, while operating margin fell to 3.4% from 7.7% in the corresponding period of last year. Net profit for the division came in at RUB 0.3 billion, a year-on-year drop of 90%. This was mainly a result of the costs of feed components and other direct materials being pegged to foreign currencies.
Adjusted EBITDA dropped 48% year-on-year to RUB 2.2 billion (9M 2015: RUB 4.2 billion), while the adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 6.3% from 13.0% in the first nine months of 2015. However, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, EBITDA grew by 47% in the third quarter and reached RUB 1.2 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 0.8 billion).
Pork Division
In the first nine months of 2016, sales volume in the pork division increased by 7% year-on-year to 131,581 tons of sellable weight. This was primarily due to a new genetics improvement strategy launched by the management at the beginning of the year to improve pigs' health status and efficiency by increasing livability and weekly farrows. Meanwhile, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, sales volume fell by 4% to 44,679 tons as improvements in production levels and the genetics strategy outpaced the growth of available finishing space.
In 9M 2016, the average price decreased by 16% year-on-year to 86.59 RUB/ kg, while on a quarter-on-quarter basis, it increased by 10% to 93.19 RUB/ kg. The year-on-year drop was a result of Russian consumers' lower purchasing power and an overall increase in pork production across the country. The quarter-on-quarter improvement was due to an outbreak of ASF along with a steady decline of imports, which begun in June.
Total sales in the pork division fell 12% year-on-year to RUB 11.2 billion (9M 2015: RUB 12.7 billion). This dip in sales was expected as the average price fell by 16% year-on-year. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, however, sales increased by 5% and reached RUB 4.1 billion (2Q 2016: RUB 3.9 billion).
Gross profit for the nine months of 2016 stood at RUB 3.3 billion, a year- on-year drop of 14%, due to feed components and medication costs being denominated in foreign currencies. The segment's gross margin fell to 29.8% from 30.5% in 9M 2015. Nonetheless, the pork segment's gross profit increased by 21% between the second and third quarter of 2016.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were slightly higher compared to the corresponding period of last year and stood at 4.9% (9M 2015: 3.3%). Transportation tax was the main driver of the expense growth.
Operating income fell by 19% year-on-year to RUB 2.8 billion from RUB 3.5 billion in the nine months of 2015. The operating margin dropped to 24.9% from 27.2% the corresponding period last year. Net profit decreased by 25% year-on-year to RUB 2.4 billion (9M 2015: RUB 3.2 billion).
Adjusted EBITDA decreased to RUB 2.5 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 54%. The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 22.1% in the nine months of 2016 from 42.4% in 9M 2015. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, adjusted EBITDA demonstrated growth of 44%.
Meat Processing Division
During 9M 2016, sales volume in the meat processing division grew by 17% year-on-year to 158,647 tons from 135,247 tons in the nine months of 2015. This increase was the result of the launch of a new pig slaughter facility at the Dankov meat processing plant in the second half of 2015, which boosted both volume and product assortment. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, sales volume increased by 3% in the third quarter to 55,749 tons.
In the nine months of 2016, the average price fell by 4% year-on-year to 166.91 RUB/kg due to non-sausage products from the Dankov meat processing plant representing a greater share of sales. The average price increased by 5% quarter-on-quarter to 171.49 RUB/kg due to higher demand for sausages and B2B/B2C products in the third quarter.
Total sales were 9% higher in the nine months of 2016 and reached RUB 22.8 billion (9M 2015: RUB 20.8 billion). In the third quarter, sales grew by 6% quarter-on-quarter.
Gross profit for the nine months of the year increased 29% year-on-year to RUB 3.9 billion, compared to RUB 3.0 billion in the corresponding period of 2015. The gross margin rose to 17.1% from 14.4% in the nine months of 2015. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, gross profit remained flat.
In the first nine months of 2016, operating expenses as a percentage of sales grew slightly to 11.9%, compared to 10.4% in the corresponding period of 2015. This was a result of higher transportation and payroll expenses.
In 9M 2016, operating income increased by 39% year-on-year to RUB 1.2 billion from RUB 0.8 billion in 9M 2015. The operating margin rose to 5.1% from 4.1% in 9M 2015. In the nine months of 2016, the meat processing segment generated net profit of RUB 1.1 billion, almost twice that of the corresponding period of 2015 (RUB 0.6 billion).
In the nine months of 2016, adjusted EBITDA demonstrated growth of 38% and reached RUB 1.6 billion (9M 2015: RUB 1.2 billion). The adjusted EBITDA margin reached 7.2% in 9M 2016, compared to 5.7% in 9M 2015. Adjusted EBITDA growth decreased by 12% on a quarter-on-quarter basis to RUB 0.6 billion.
Grain Division
Cherkizovo has begun its 2016 harvesting campaign and Russian harvests are expected to reach record levels this year. The Group expects to harvest a total of 500,000 tons of crops this year; wheat yields have already exceeded the budget.
Due to the seasonality of this business, the results of this segment are reported annually to better reflect the business performance and provide the appropriate basis for comparison.
Financial Position
The Group's capital expenditure on the property, plants, equipment and maintenance amounted to RUB 7.4 billion in the nine months of 2016, a year- on-year decrease of 8%. Of that, RUB 2.4 billion was invested into the poultry division, primarily into the construction of the hatchery and grain storage facility in the Lipetsk region (Eletsprom Project). In the pork division, RUB 2.3 billion was invested into purchasing equipment for the new finisher complexes in the Voronezh region, as well as constructing new finisher complexes in the Lipetsk region. The meat processing division received RUB 1.2 billion of investments for the construction of the Kashira meat processing plant in the Moscow Region. In the grain division, RUB 1.1 billion was invested into the construction of a new grain drying facility. Cherkizovo Group has also invested RUB 0.6 billion into the Tambov Turkey project.
As of 30 September, 2016, Net Debt amounted to RUB 38.4 billion, compared to RUB 35.0 billion at the end of 2015. Total debt was at RUB 40.0 billion as of 30 September 2016, a decrease of 3% from the end of 2015. As of 30 September 2016, long-term debt represented 39% of the debt portfolio and was RUB 15.8 billion. Short-term debt stood at RUB 24.3 billion, or 61% of the portfolio. The effective cost of debt was 6.1% in the nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: 3.2%). Subsidised loans and credit lines made up 77% of the debt portfolio in the nine months of 2016 (9M 2015: 86%). Cash and cash equivalents totalled RUB 1.0 billion as of 30 September, 2016.
Subsidies
In the first nine months of 2016, the Group accrued subsidies for interest reimbursement of RUB 1.5 billion, which offset interest expense (9M 2015: RUB 1.9 billion). The Group received RUB 1.1 billion of subsidies in 9M 2016, compared to RUB 1.4 billion in 9M 2015.
2016 Outlook
The third quarter has brought stability to the meat sales and pricing environment, which continues to improve as meat consumption in Russia shows some signs of growth. Both pork and poultry prices have also bottomed out and the Group expects this improving trend to continue in the fourth quarter this year. However, it is still too early to assess whether this positive trend will carry forward into next year.
The Group's export strategy is making a good progress as its shipments to Tanzania and Egypt have begun, and permission to export poultry products to the EU has also been granted. By the end of the year, Cherkizovo will start exporting poultry to Angola. The Group's total export volume is expected to reach 10,000 tons in the fourth quarter of 2016.
On the domestic market, the Tambov Turkey project is now fully operational with first shipments of turkey products set to begin in the fourth quarter of the year. In 2017, the facility will reach its full production capacity of 50,000 tons of turkey meat, which will position the Company as one of Russia's top turkey producers.
For the full year, the Company expects production and revenue growth across all segments, although the margins will be lower than last year following a challenging first quarter.
