The principles and the procedure for the annual bonus payment are similar for all the categories of employees in the Company Administration and the Group companies. They are stated in the Provisions on Annual Bonus Payment (approved by the Board of Directors on December 28, 2011, Minutes No. 9) and the Company Provision on KPI System (approved by the Board of Directors on December 09, 2014, Minutes No. 12).

The key objective of the Company KPI system implementation shall be transforming the Company Strategy and Long-Term Development Program into the format of specific indicators for day-to-day management, assessing their current performance and developing principles of efficient management solutions.

The Company KPI system includes both financial and economic indicators, such as operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA), return on average capital employed (ROACE), total shareholder return (TSR), financial leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA), cost reduction indicators, and industry-wide indicators (hydrocarbons production performance, reserves replacement, light oil product output etc.).

The Company KPI system includes:

  • General performance indicators. The list of indicators is generally developed according to the key financial, economic and industry-wide indicators of the Company and its divisions;

Assessment of meeting KPIs

KPI meeting analysis for the annual bonus payment to the Company managers and employees is made upon summarizing the Company activities according to the audited consolidated financial and accounting statements.

The Company Internal Audit Service performs annual audit of each general and individual performance indicator, set for annual bonus payment to the Company and the Group companies’ management in the reporting period. The audit results of KPI performance by the top managers are submitted to the relevant Committees.

Assessment of the top managers’ activities is reviewed by the HR and Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors. The Rosneft Board of Directors approves the annual bonus payment to the top managers and its amount for the reporting period, depending on meeting the set KPIs.

Actual KPI levels are being normalized for:

  • environmental factors;
  • resolutions of the authorized bodies of the Company influencing KPI performance;
  • changes in accounting and KPI calculation techniques, including changes in IFRS and other reporting standards;
  • other factors stated by the Rosneft authorized management body (according to the Rosneft Charter), including assets sales/purchase and business operations restructuring of the Head Office and business units.

Normalization during assessing KPI process provides for:

  • assessment of contribution of the Company management with account of specific achievements of the top managers, having KPI, thus stimulating growth of efficiency irrespective of any external conditions;
  • improvement of the quality of business planning due to constant improvement of the results of operations managed by the heads of the Company;
  • improvement of transparency and auditability of KPI assessment.

KPI normalization shall be performed in accordance with the Company Guidelines No. PZ-10 M-0004 for KPI Normalization when Analyzing the Company Business Plan Performance, approved by the Order No. 218 of May 18, 2015 and the Regulation on the Procedure for KPI Normalization when Analyzing and Assessing Operations of the Company Management for the Reporting Period for Annual Bonus Payment, approved by the Rosneft Board of Directors and enacted by the Order No. 214 of May18, 2015.
