  13. Key Operating & Financial Data • MTS Operations in Russia • MOU - Usage per subscriber decreased in Q1 2003 largely because of seasonal factors • ARPU - continued to decline partially as a result of decreased usage but also as a result of an increase in the number of mass-market subscribers in the subscriber mix • Churn - the general market trend of growing churn continued during Q1 2003. Today, programs aimed at encouraging customer loyalty have become increasingly important for the Company Source: MTS

  16. Disclaimer • Some of the information in this presentation may contain projections or other forward-looking statements regarding future events or the future financial performance of MTS, as defined in the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify forward looking statements by terms such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “will,” “could,” “may” or “might” the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. We wish to caution you that these statements are only predictions and that actual events or results may differ materially. We do not intend to update these statements to reflect events and circumstances occurring after preliminary offering memorandum dated as of January 28, 2003 and to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. We refer you to the documents MTS files from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically, the Company’s most recent Form 20-F. These documents contain and identify important factors, including those contained in the section captioned "Risk Factors," that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements, including, among others, potential fluctuations in quarterly results, our competitive environment, dependence on new service development and tariff structures; rapid technological and market change, acquisition strategy, risks associated with telecommunications infrastructure, risks associated with operating in Russia, volatility of stock price, financial risk management, and future growth subject to risks.

  17. Attachment A • EBITDA should not be considered in isolation as an alternative to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activity or any other measure of performance under U.S. GAAP. We believe that EBITDA is viewed as a relevant supplemental measure of performance in the wireless telecommunications industry and we define EBITDA as operating income excluding depreciation and amortization. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA as a percentage of our net revenues. We believe EBITDA and EBITDA margin to be relevant and useful information as these are one of important measurements used by our management to measure the operating profits or losses of our business. EBITDA is also one of many factors used by the credit rating agencies to determine our credit ratings. EBITDA and EBITDA margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. EBITDA and EBITDA margin, as we have defined them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, who may refer to EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA is often calculated by adjusting net income to exclude only depreciation and amortization, income taxes and interest. If EBITDA were so calculated it would have been: $211.5 million, $116.5 million, $172.0 million for Q1 2003, Q1, 2002 and Q4 2002, respectively. • The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA to operating income:
