In 2012, Gazprom reduced its net profit by 37% to 556.34 billion rubles by RAS. If the company allocated to the dividends 25% of net profit as it did previously, then shareholders will get less than 6 rubles per stock, not 7-8 rubles  investors awaited. Revenue increased by 3.5% to 3.66 trillion rubles. Gas sales revenue declined by 0.8% to 2.8 trillion rubles. The company raised revenue of 900.16 billion rubles from internal sales ( +1.79%), and 1.90 trillion rubles from exports (-2.16%), including 1.38 trillion rubles from exports to far abroad (+0.9%).
