In 2010 CZP's revenue from sale of zinc and zinc alloys decreased by 14% compared to 2009, to RUB 5,939 mln. Decrease of this revenue was due to the fact that part of zinc metal was supplied under a tolling agreement. The decrease was partly compensated by the growth of LME zinc price by 30% and by 4% increase of sales on the domestic market.
In 2010 revenue of The Brock Metal Company Limited amounted to RUB 1,877 mln, 52% more as compared to 2009. The main factors of the growth were increase of sales volume and increase of LME zinc prices.
In 2010 CZP received revenue of RUB 1,767 mln under tolling agreement. In 2010 CZP received a fixed processing fee of RUB 24,000 per tonne of zinc.
Revenue from sale of lead concentrate for 2010 amounted to RUB 696 mln (2009: RUB 571 mln). In 2010 Nova Zinc LLP supplied 3.9 thousand tonnes of lead in lead concentrate, 31% less than in 2009 (5.7 thousand tonnes). At the same time CZP significantly increased its sales of lead in lead concentrate to 7.9 thousand tonnes (2009: 5 thousand tonnes). Also the growth of LME lead prices and improvement of sales conditions had a beneficial effect on the revenue.
In 2010 revenue from CZP's other products increased by 16% to RUB 1,531 mln. It was mainly caused by increase of sulphuric acid, cadmium and zinc sulfate sales.

In 2010 cost of sales increased by 6% to RUB 8,498 mln as compared to 2009.
Cost of materials and consumables used primarily comprise cost of zinc concentrate, materials for alloys production, secondary raw materials and auxiliary materials used in the zinc production process. These costs increased by 4% to RUB 4,414 mln. The main reasons are the production volumes growth and increase of LME zinc prices. Cost of materials increased disproportionately due to the fact that concentrate was partially supplied under the tolling agreement.
In 2010 costs of utilities and fuel increased by 33% to RUB 1,703 mln. This increase was primarily due to a growth of electricity consumption at CZP's production facilities in Chelyabinsk as a result of an increase of overall production levels and growth of electricity tariffs (2010: RUB 1.797 per kWh; 2009: RUB 1.671 per kWh) and other fuel prices for CZP. Also costs of fuel for Nova Zinc LLP increased due to increased stripping activities. In addition, there was growth of electricity tariffs (by more than 25%) and diesel fuel prices (by almost 1.4 times) for Nova Zinc LLP.
Staff costs increased by 25% to RUB 736 mln as compared to 2009 reflecting mainly the growing trend of average salaries in Russia and Kazakhstan.
Distribution costs include primarily transportation costs and customs duties. In 2010 these costs grew by 20% to RUB 502 mln due to increase of transportation costs of sulphuric acid and lead concentrate to consumers.
General and administrative expenses amounted RUB 634 mln in 2010 which is consistent with the level of such expenses in 2009 (RUB 630 mln).
Other operating income and expenses mainly include provisions, income and expenses from disposal of property, plant and equipment, social expenses, net loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.
The expenses increased due to works related to dismantling of equipment at CZP in 2010 and reversal of provision for bad debts in 2009.
Net profit for 2010 was RUB 1,414 mln compared to RUB 643 mln in 2009.
