  6. Production Overview • Focused on developing vertical integration throughout the company

  7. Consolidated Sales Analysis • Revenues estimated at US$4.1 bln in 2001 • Over 80% of revenues derived from exports By product By region Source: Company estimates

  8. Fabricated Product Sales • Dominant position at the domestic aluminium product market • Successful marketing stories in beverage cans and foil • Exports still amount to about 50% of fabricated aluminium sales (mainly in semis) RUSAL’s share on the domestic market Rolled > 60% Foil and packaging  30% Beverage cans > 60% Construction  30% Source: Company estimates, 2001

  9. RUSAL’s Competitive Position • RUSAL builds corporate strategy based on its key strengths and weaknesses in the global industry Strengths Weaknesses • Access to inexpensive Siberian hydro power energy (RUSAL’s shareholders control twice as much electricity as consumed by RUSAL) • Strong presence at the domestic aluminium product market • Young and aggressive management • Unbalanced production structure (shortage of raw materials) • Relatively low labour productivity • Negative perception of the Russia’s aluminium industry by the international business community

  10. Key Strategic Objectives - Capacity Management • Strengthen raw materials base • Exploit competitive advantages through expanding primary aluminium capacity • Expand margins through raising value added product output and improved marketing • By 2006, RUSAL intends to produce at own facilities up to 100% of the required alumina and up to 50% of the required bauxite via • expansion of existing alumina capacity by up to 30% • acquisition and building of new capacity in CIS, Guinea, etc. • potential strategic partnerships to develop large scale greenfield projects (potentially including Dian Dian project) • Potential capacity expansion at Sayansk Smelter by 65% • Other projects in Eastern Siberia and other Russian regions under consideration • Increase production of alloys and fabricated products at 20% and 10% annual rate respectively • Increase sales to end users and regional traders versus international traders from 40% in 2001 to 70% in 2003

  11. Key Strategic Objectives - Cost Management • Securing beneficial power tariffs via cost optimisation at power producers controlled by RUSAL shareholders and active participation in the restructuring of the Russian power sector • Gradual reduction of overall headcount to increase productivity • Further optimisation of product flows (including exploitation of river roots) • Participation in the restructuring of the railway industry and establishing own expeditor company • Control costs to be one of the lowest cost producers in the world • Meet international standards of environmental management and quality control • Most production facilities ISO 9000-9002 certified • Modernisation of existing capacities including • implementation of improved technology of “dry” anodes at Bratsk and Krasnoyarsk smelters • upgrade of rolling mills at Samara Metallurgical Plant • International environmental certification for most production facilities • Rostar plant, one of the first Russia’s metal companies to receive ISO 14001 certificate

  12. Key Strategic Objectives - Establishing World-Class Management Processes Completed To Be Done • Transparency • complete consolidation of all Group’s assets • credit rating by international rating agencies • quarterly publication of US GAAP financial statements • adoption of corporate governance charter • establishing transparent dividend policy • consolidation of Russian producers into JSC RUSAL • annual audits of consolidated financial US GAAP statements • independent asset appraisal and engineering reports produced by Western consultants • enhanced information flow between the company and potential investors • Risk management • $12 billion in insurance program underwritten by leading international insurance companies, protecting against property damage and business interruptions • $4 bln in cargo insurance • long-term hedging strategy under consideration • Management information system • set up local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) connecting all company’s plants and offices • SAP R3 to be installed by 2004
