Financial commentary for the second quarter and nine months of 2021
Net operating income was 626 923 euros in 3Q 2021 (670 298 euros in 3Q 2020) and 1 864 577 euros for the nine months of 2021 (1 979 158 euros for 9 months of 2020). Operating profit was 542 929 euros in 3Q 2021 (635 253 euros in 3Q 2020) and 1 693 421 euros for the nine months of 2021 (1 863 48 euros for 9 months of 2020). Net income was 297 664 euros in 3Q 2021 (408 988 euros in 3Q 2020) and 950 756 euros for the nine months of 2021 (1 119 547 euros for 9 months 2020).
Decrease in net operating income for 9 months of 2021 was due to the changes in the lease agreements which the management also reflected upon in the 1Q 2021 commentary. In 3Q 2021 the Group made repairs in Olaine LC which had additional effect on 3Q and 9 months net operating income.
The Group paid a 49 715 euro fine issued by Būvniecības valsts kontroles birojs (State Construction Control Bureau of Latvia) which had a noticeable impact on net income for 3Q and 9 months.
Group received the fine because the Company’s subsdiary, SIA Olaines Logistics did not forward its’ 2020 energy balance to the Bureau in due time. In Latvia, companies which consume more than 500 000kWh of energy for two consecutive years, are consdered large energy consumers and must make energy efficiency investments, or pay energy efficiency fine calculated on the basis of electricity consumed. For companies such as SIA Olaines Logistics, who do not consume the electricity, but are forwarding (selling) bought electricity to ohter clients, there is a requirement to maintain a balance of the kWh-s bought and sold, and to forward annual balance to the Bureau before a due date. SIA Olaines Logistics failed to forward required balance for 2020 in due time because of changes which occurred in Group’s asset management team at that time. Furthermore, because of COVID travel restrictions we were not able to access SIA Olaines Logistics physical mail box, where noticies and reminders regarding the obligation to forward the balance were sent by the Bureau. As a result the Group became liable to pay energy efficiency fee for the full ~8 000MWh of electricity consumed in Olaines LC by the clients of SIA Olaines Logistics. SIA Olaines Logistics appealed to the Bureau several times and also appealed to the Ministry of Economics of Latvia to reduce the fine as it is completely out of proportions compared to the nature of violation and the fact that the SIA Olaines Logistics consumed 0kWh of electricity. However none of the appeals were considered by either inistitution because the due date for appealing was past, leaving the fine in force in full amount.
In 3Q 2021 the Group initiated investments to change all lightning in Olaine LC to LED lights, including outside premises lighting.
The company’s sole business activity is to collect rental revenue, manage the Olaine property and service its liabilities to lenders and investors. Liabilities include the subordinated bonds with a fixed interest rate and the investment loan which’ rate is also fixed with an interest rate swap agreement. On the revenue side the company earns stable triple-net rental income from reputable tenants, which is fixed with medium-term agreements but is subject to indexation. Due to the economically fixed nature of the company, there needs to be major event in the overall economy or in the company’s business activities for them to have significant effect on the company’s financial results.
