As of March 31, 2004, MTS consolidated subscriber base was approximately 19.19 million. During the first quarter of 2004, the Companys subscriber base increased by approximately 2.47 million, all of which were added through the organic growth of the Companys business. In addition, MTS unconsolidated subsidiaries(4) in Russia serviced 163,837 subscribers and Mobile TeleSystems LLC, a mobile operator in Belarus in which MTS has a 49.0% stake, serviced approximately 592,600 subscribers.
Since the beginning of 2004, MTS has added 5.21 million new subscribers and, as of June 15, 2004, MTS consolidated subscriber base was comprised of approximately 21.93 million customers, of which 17.43 million were in Russia and 4.50 million were in Ukraine. In addition, MTS unconsolidated subsidiaries in Russia serviced 212,250 customers and Mobile TeleSystems LLC serviced 714,930 customers in Belarus.
The increase in MTS revenues in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the fourth quarter of 2003 was driven by a continued growth in subscribers in all the markets in which the Company operates. Benefits derived from additional economies of scale resulted in a growth in the Companys OIBDA margin to 54.5%, compared to 51.9% in the previous quarter and 50.4% in the first quarter of 2003. The increase in the Companys net income margin to 25.7% in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 19.8% in the previous quarter can be attributed to growth in revenues and decrease in related expenses incurred by the Company during the period (e.g. sales and marketing expenses, taxes other than income tax, interest expenses).
MTS capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment during the first quarter of 2004 totaled $213.4 million (of which $31.6 million was spent in Ukraine). In addition, MTS spent $18.8 million on purchases of intangible assets during the first quarter of 2004 (of which $6.5 million was spent in Ukraine).
MTS total debt(5) at the end of the first quarter of 2004 was $1.62 billion compared to $1.66 billion at the end of 2003. The Companys net debt(6) was $1.26 billion at the end of the first quarter compared to $1.32 billion at the end of 2003.
Commenting on the results, Vassily Sidorov, President and CEO of MTS, said: The first quarter of 2004 was successful for the Company. We achieved significant expansion in our customer base in all the markets we operate in. MTS growth in net income and improved profitability were largely driven by increased economies of scale. Our management team will continue its efforts to improve the operational efficiency and strengthen the market position of the Company.
(4) MTS owns 50% stakes in Primtelefon, a local mobile operator in Far Eastern and Siberian parts of Russia, and in Volgograd Mobile and Astrakhan Mobile, local mobile operators in Volga part of Russia. MTS does not consolidate these companies.
(5) Total debt is comprised of the current portion of long-term debt, current capital lease obligations, long-term debt, and long-term capital lease obligations.
(6) Net debt is the difference between the total debt and cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. See Attachment B for reconciliation of net debt to our consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2004, MTS consolidated subscriber base in Russia was approximately 15.34 million, of which 8.68 million were enrolled in the Companys pre-paid Jeans tariff plans. According to AC&M-Consulting, an independent market research company, MTS retained its leading market share of 37% of the mobile communication market in Russia in the first quarter of 2004.
Revenues and net income from MTS operations in Russia during the first quarter of 2004 were $654.2 million(10) and $165.0 million respectively, compared to $630.5 million(11) and $129.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.
(7) MTS owns 50% stakes in Primtelefon, a local mobile operator in Far Eastern and Siberian parts of Russia, and in Volgograd Mobile and Astrakhan Mobile, local mobile operators in Volga part of Russia. MTS does not consolidate these companies.
(8) MTS owns a 49% stake in Belarus operator Mobile TeleSystems LLC, which is not consolidated.

The Companys average monthly revenue per user (ARPU) in Russia decreased in the first quarter of 2004 to $14.7 compared to $16.3 in the fourth quarter of 2003. This decrease is largely due to the increase of pre-paid Jeans subscribers in the customer mix. The average monthly minutes of usage per subscriber (MOU) in the first quarter of 2004 were 147 minutes compared to 140 minutes in the fourth quarter of 2003. This increase in usage can be mainly attributed to the increase in the number of calls within the network, as well as to the increase of regional pre-paid Jeans customers in the customer mix (regional Jeans customers generally talk more than Jeans customers in Moscow, as the regional per-minute tariffs are lower).
Churn rate was 10.0% in the first quarter of 2004, down from 12.5% in the previous quarter, mainly because of MTS increased focus on subscriber loyalty and new relationships with the Companys dealers, whereby commissions are aligned with revenues from the customers.
The Companys subscriber acquisition cost (SAC) per gross additional subscriber in Russia in the first quarter of 2004 decreased to $23 compared to $24 in the previous quarter. This decrease was primarily due to the lower costs of attracting mass-market subscribers and increased economies of scale.
As of March 31, 2004, MTS provided its services to 3.85 million subscribers in Ukraine, of which 81.2% were enrolled in the Companys pre-paid tariff plans. MTS is the leader in Ukraine with a market share of 53% as of March 31, 2004, according to AC&M-Consulting.
MTS operations in Ukraine contributed $154.8 million to the Companys revenues and $42.8 million to its net income during the first quarter of 2004 compared to $142.5 million and $23.0 million respectively in the fourth quarter of 2003. MTS ARPU in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2004 declined to $14.0 compared to $15.4 in the fourth quarter of 2003. This decline is a result of a change in customer mix towards more pre-paid subscribers and a reduction in tariffs in 2003. Usage was down to 111 minutes from 114 minutes in the fourth quarter of 2003, mainly as a result of this change in the customer mix.
MTS SAC per gross additional subscriber in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2004 was at $25, a decrease from $26 reported in the fourth quarter of 2003. Similar to the trends experienced by MTS in Russia, the SAC decrease in Ukraine was largely attributable to the lower costs of attracting mass-market subscribers and increased economies of scale.
MTS churn rate was at 6.0% in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2004, a decline from 6.5% in the fourth quarter of 2003.

Attachments to the First Quarter 2004 Earnings Press Release
Attachment A
Non-GAAP financial measures. This press release includes financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or US GAAP, as well as other financial measures referred to as non-GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) and OIBDA margin. OIBDA represents operating income before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA as a percentage of our net revenues. Our OIBDA may not be similar to OIBDA measures of other companies; is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information contained in our consolidated statement of operations. We believe that OIBDA provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to fund discretionary spending such as capital expenditures, acquisitions of mobile operators and other investments and our ability to incur and service debt. While depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under generally accepted accounting principles, these expenses primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Our OIBDA calculation is commonly used as one of the bases for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of companies within the wireless telecommunications industry. OIBDA can be reconciled to our consolidated statements of operations as follows:

Definitions
Subscriber. We define a subscriber as an individual or organization whose account does not have a negative balance for more than sixty-one days, or one hundred and eighty three days in the case of our Jeans brand tariff launched in November 2002.
Average monthly service revenue per subscriber (ARPU). We calculate our average monthly service revenue per subscriber by dividing our service revenues for a given period, including guest roaming fees, by the average number of our subscribers during that period and dividing by the number of months in that period.
Average monthly minutes of usage per subscriber (MOU). MOU is calculated by dividing the total number of minutes of usage during a given period by the average number of our subscribers during the period and dividing by the number of months in that period.
Churn. We define our churn as the total number of subscribers who cease to be a subscriber as defined above during the period (whether involuntarily due to non-payment or voluntarily, at such subscribers request), expressed as a percentage of the average number of our subscribers during that period.
Subscriber acquisition cost (SAC). We define SAC as total sales and marketing expenses and handset subsidies for a given period. Sales and marketing expenses include advertising expenses and commissions to dealers. SAC per gross additional subscriber is calculated by dividing SAC during a given period by the total number of gross subscribers added by us during the period.
