– Future outlook: Net sales are expected to amount to EUR 27–29 million in 2020, and the comparable operating profit is expected to be positive.  Comments by Heikki Vauhkonen, Managing Director:As a result of the successful second quarter, the operating profit for the first half of the year was positive. The Covid-19 pandemic caused exceptional demand fluctuation in the second quarter. In April, the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated restrictive measures reduced the flow of orders especially from Central European countries. However, domestic and export orders recovered during the second quarter, and net sales almost regained the level of the previous year. The sales margin improved in the second quarter due to price increases and measures improving productivity. Fixed costs decreased as planned in the second quarter.Finnish net sales of fireplaces were at the previous year’s level in the first half of the year. Total net sales from fireplace exports decreased in the second quarter. However, considering the circumstances, net sales and market share continued to develop favourably in the largest export countries, Germany and Russia.Tulikivi’s order books at the end of the review period amounted to EUR 3.3 (3.6) million. In the second quarter the company’s order flow was EUR 7.1 (7.0) million.The Covid-19 pandemic has increased consumers’ interest in renovation, holiday homes and low-rise housing in both Finland and export countries. During the summer, it increased consumers’ interest in Tulikivi products and strengthened the business outlook for the early autumn. In the longer term, however, sales performance may be negatively affected by the intensifying economic crisis resulting from the pandemic.The company Nordic Talc Oy, founded in March 2020, is planning a feasibility study of the Suomussalmi talc project, the purpose of which is to further specify the project’s profitability, environmental and mining plans for industrial operations. At the same time, Tulikivi is exploring opportunities to attract outside financing and investors to start and develop Nordic Talc Oy’s operations for industrial exploitation.TULIKIVI CORPORATIONBoard of DirectorsDistribution: Nasdaq Helsinki
