MD&A for the year ended 31 December 2024
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards and the related notes, approved for issue and signed prior to publishing of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations (MD&A). This report includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, including those discussed later in this MD&A. Words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "intends", "plans", etc. - that reflect management's current estimates and beliefs, but are not guarantees of future results. Please see "Forward-looking statements" for a discussion of some factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.
For financial reporting purposes, Company converts metric tonnes of crude oil to barrels using a conversion factor of 7.123. This factor represents a blend of varying conversion factors specific to each of Group's fields. Because the proportion of actual production by field varies from period to period, total reserves and production volumes for the Group in barrels converted from tonnes using the blended rate may differ from total reserves and production calculated on a field-by-field basis. Translations of cubic meters to cubic feet were made at the rate of 35.31 cubic feet per cubic meter. Translations of barrels of crude oil into barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") were made at the rate of 1 barrel per BOE and of cubic feet into BOE at the rate of 6 thousand cubic feet per BOE.
Background
PJSC Tatneft n.a. V.D. Shashin (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (jointly referred to as the "Group" or "Tatneft") is one of the largest vertically integrated oil companies in Russia in terms of crude oil production, proved oil reserves, and refining capacity. The Company is a public joint-stock company organized under the laws of the Russian Federation with the headquarters located in City of Almetyevsk, Tatarstan.

Segment information
Our operations are currently divided into the following main segments:
- Exploration and Production - consists of the Company's Oil and Gas Extraction and Production Division, as well as production subsidiaries. Most oil and gas exploration and production activities are concentrated within the Company and centrally managed by Tatneft-Upstream (Tatneft-Dobycha) Division.
- Refining and Marketing - consists of a refining and petrochemical complex in Nizhnekamsk, Tatarstan, operated by TANECO, Gas Collection, Transportation and Refining Division Tatneftegaspererabotka, which also operates a small refinery in Kichui, Tatarstan; the Company's Sales and Marketing Division (URNiN), Tatneft-AZS Center, Tatneft-AZS-Zapad, Tatneft-AZS-Severo-Zapad and other subsidiaries which manage the Tatneft branded gas stations network in Russia and abroad, and carry out refined products wholesale sales; as well as various ancillary companies.
- Tires business - includes the production and sale of tires by the enterprises Ikon Tyres/Shina, and BRZ acquired in 2023.
- Financial Services.
These segments are determined by the way management recognizes the segments within the Group for making operating decisions and how they are evident from the Group structure.

MD&A for the year ended 31 December 2024
Intersegment sales
Tatneft's two main business segments are interconnected and dependent on each other, and hence a portion of the revenues of one main segment are related to the expenses of the other. In particular, exploration and production Group companies supply part of crude oil for the processing at our own refineries, mainly TANECO, and the refined products are then sold by the Company in domestic or international markets, as well as to the Company's consumer marketing subsidiaries for subsequent distribution.
As a result of certain factors, benchmark crude oil market prices in Russia cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the prices set for inter-segment purchases of crude oil and other goods and services reflect a combination of market factors, primarily domestic crude oil market prices, transportation costs, regional market conditions, the cost of crude oil refining, and other factors. Accordingly, an analysis of either of these segments on a stand-alone basis could give a misleading perception of those segments' underlying financial position and results of operations. For this reason, we do not analyze either of our main segments separately in the discussion that follows. However, we present the financial data for each respective segment in Note 21 "Segment information" to our consolidated financial statements. All intercompany operations are eliminated on the consolidation level.
Exceptional items
The Group's results for the respective reporting periods of 2024 and 2023 were impacted by certain exceptional items, including impairment loss on assets not providing direct future economic benefits, as well as the loss from impairment of other assets due to the current macroeconomic situation. These losses were reflected in the lines "Impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and other non-financial assets net of reversals" and "Expected credit losses on financial assets net of reversals" in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income of the Group (see page 9):

EBITDA (earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization) is financial measure not provided by IFRS Accounting Standards. Herewith, its calculation methodology is not standardized, therefore above presented calculations of this indicator do not reflect unified approaches. EBITDA provides useful information to investors being the indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations. EBITDA also shows our ability to finance capital expenditures, acquisitions, and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under IFRS Accounting Standards, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods.
EBITDA is commonly used as a basis by some investors, analysts, and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies in the oil and gas industry. This indicator should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to net profit, operating income, or any other measure of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards. EBITDA does not consider our need to replace our capital equipment over time.

Guarantees
The Group has guarantees issued related mainly to financial services at 31 December 2024 and at 31 December 2023.
Legal contingencies
The Group is subject to various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The outcomes of such contingencies, lawsuits, or other proceedings cannot be determined at present. In the case of all known contingencies the Group accrues a liability when the loss is probable, and the amount is reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information, management believes that it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures would have a material adverse impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
