Management comment:During 9 months of 2020, the same as during 2019, the Group‘s and the Company‘s net profit was significantly affected by fluctuations of unrealized currency exchange rates. The unrealized impact of exchange rates arose from the 1st January of 2019 under the requirements of IFRS 16 “Lease”, which indicated the Company to capitalize finance lease obligations and the major part of them is denominated in US dollars. Whereas all US dollar denominated lease liabilities relate to LNG terminal, the effect of unrealized exchange rate are reflected in the regulated segment. Revenue of the Group for the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 is lower mainly due to the reduction of LNG security supplement from the 1st January 2020.LNG regasification at Klaipėda LNG terminal (hereinafter – LNG terminal) still remains at a high level. However, revenue for the nine months of 2020 comprise EUR 32.7 million and is lower by EUR 20.4 million or 38.5% compared to the same period of 2019 (EUR 53.2 million) due to the reduction of LNG security supplement by EUR 20.1 million in 9 months 2020. Compared to the same period of 2019, more income was generated due to much higher level of LNG regasification, which partially compensated the lower revenue due to the reduction of LNG security supplement.Revenue of oil terminals for the first nine months of 2020 is lower by EUR 0.2 million compared to the same period of 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a negative impact on the demand for petroleum products, the period of unfavorable low refining margins around the world has prolonged. Although it increases demand for oil product storage, the volumes of the transshipment are affected negatively. All those adverse developments in the international markets, along with the geopolitical developments in the neighboring region, affected performance of KN oil terminals. However, the Group was capable to amortize the unfavorable international circumstances by focusing on its operational efficiency and by diversification of its services, including oil product storage services, as well as product portfolio.During the first nine months of 2020 revenue from commercial LNG activities comprise EUR 4.3 million and is higher by EUR 4.1 million compared to the same period of 2019 (EUR 158 thousand).
