The Board's Report on Operations

The year 2020 was a year of development and progress for the company. Net sales increased to EUR 80.7 million (EUR 69.3 million), which is an increase of 16%. What was particularly pleasing was growth in net sales and improved result during H2, at the same time when the volumes of Finnish foreign trade decreased by more than 10%. H2 net sales increased to EUR 44.2 million, which is an increase of 21% on H1. Correspondingly, operating result improved by EUR 0.8 million and by EUR 1.4 million excluding non- recurring costs. The growth and improvement of result were mainly generated by the company's Chinese container train business and related value added services as well as favourable development in the Baltic business. Terminal and forwarding businesses successfully focused on improving efficiency.

In spite of the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company's development measures were successfully advanced and sales of services to new customer groups were increased. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the development of the company's net sales, and it slowed down the company's internationalization and sales work due to travel restrictions. In addition, the development of the company's services in inland China was slower than scheduled, but we were able to proceed under the difficult conditions in China by opening an office in Chongqing, for example. Transports of foodstuffs to China launched by the company in autumn 2020, which are significant in terms of volume, had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. We expect to be able to start the transports during 2021, for which we are well prepared on account of our temperature-controlled containers.

Measures to increase the efficiency of production, trim costs and improve quality and were carried out during H2, as a result of which the company will primarily operate in premises it owns with an approximately 20% lower headcount in 2021. The balance sheet structure was improved by a share issue of EUR 9.3 million and acquisition of a majority holding in the Vuosaari property, and all long-term external rent liabilities on terminal premises were terminated. Operationally, a new container train route to China's biggest city Chongqing was successfully opened and co-operation was started with the Port of Narvik. In addition, preparations were made for opening three other new routes in China, which were opened after the review period in January-February 2021.

The company's clientele became more international and the clientele's industry breakdown became significantly broader on account of the Chinese container train business. This reduces the company's risk with regard to the development of the Finnish market. The increased importance of environmental values to our customers and working capital management was clearly visible in the growth in container train business operations towards the end of the review period. Due to this, the company has prepared a CO2 calculation formula for some of the train routes and will provide additional carbon neutrality-facilitating services in its service portfolio for customers. In addition, customers are helped to choose the most efficient logistics solutions between China and Europe in terms of economic overall efficiency, utilising the company's container train connections and additional services developed for them.

The company's H2 operating result improved significantly year-on-year to EUR +0.3 million, and EUR +0.9 million excluding non-recurring costs. Due to the weak first half of the year, the full-year operating result was EUR 0.2 million negative, including non-recurring costs of EUR 0.6 million. The non-recurring costs are associated with measures to increase efficiency, which will have a positive impact in the form of significantly lower fixed costs in 2021.

New container train routes, a strongly growing and diversifying clientele, deployment of a new unique digital order system and launch of outsourcing business in 2021 give reason for confidence in a clearly stronger 2021 compared to 2020. The significance of environmental impacts will be further emphasized, and lowering customers' working capital and developing the company's own customer promise will support the demand for the company's services.

The changes implemented in the accountable management of business functions in June improved customer service and cost monitoring. In addition, the structure of customer agreements was developed with determination to match the company's objectives, and unprofitable services and locations were exited. The operations in China were developed significantly and expertise in operating the Chinese logistics pipeline evolved, making it possible to open the new route between Chongqing and Narvik. Developing and opening new routes has continued in early 2021, and they provide a competitive advantage for the further development of the company's business operations.

The company continued the development of digital services in 2020, the company's railway expertise was strengthened significantly and the company's visibility in the international market increased.

Nurminen Logistics' cash flow from operating activities was EUR 3.5 million positive. The company carried out a directed offering in December 2020, making it possible to acquire a majority holding in the Vuosaari terminal property and arrange long-term bank financing. No other significant capital expenditure took place during the financial period, and the measurement of the company's balance sheet assets does not include risk items in the current business environment.

Nurminen Logistics expects a significant improvement of result for 2021, and considerably stronger cash flow from the Finnish operations on account of growth in the Chinese container train business and lower fixed costs. The train transport business provides a notable increase in volume for terminal services and freight forwarding.

Business performance in the Baltic countries continued at a good level.

In Vuosaari, the efficiency and profitability of terminal operations improved towards the end of H2. The company's long-term lease in Kotka expired on 31 October 2020, and the company was able to concentrate operations to its owned premises. The lease on the Hamina terminal was also terminated during the period under review, and its operations will end on 6 March 2021, which will further improve the cost structure of terminal operations in the prevailing market.

Market situation and future outlook

The economic climate in Finland remained challenging during the second half of the year, and the outlook of foreign trade is foggy as the Covid-19 pandemic continues. The order backlog of the Chinese container train service business is still growing. The significant increase in the company's operational efficiency and restructuring of the balance sheet structure by way of increase in capital and dissolution of rent liabilities, strong development of the Chinese container train business as well as growth in the company's international operations and internationalization of the clientele provide a good and confident foundation for the company's future.

The gradual improvement of the global COVID-19 situation will facilitate a clear increase in the company's international sales and increasing visibility in the international logistics market and forums. Similarly, the development of the company's operations in China will become significantly faster once the travel restrictions are lifted.

Business review

The net sales for the 2020 financial period amounted to EUR 80.7 million (EUR 69.3 million). The growth on the previous year was 16%, and the full-year operating result was EUR -0.2 million.

The net sales of the container train to China business increased in 2020, and growth accelerated towards the end of the year in particular owing to new routes and customers. The strong improvements made in the train business were also visible as a clear improvement of profitability. The COVID-19 situation slowed down the development of the company's train transport to China business and hindered sales work in both the Nordic countries and China. Restrictions on transports of foodstuffs placed on railways led to the company not being able to fully benefit from its good position as one of the few owners of temperature-controlled containers. The lifting of these restrictions will have a positive impact on business operations.

The freight forwarding business continued to be profitable throughout the year. Mainly on account of good development in January-June, the full-year net sales increased by 13% compared to previous year.

The development of terminal services improved significantly towards the end of the year. The full-year net sales decreased, but the operating result improved towards the end of the year, albeit being at a loss for the full year.

The directed offering and real estate arrangement carried out at the end of the year, with the acquisition of a majority holding in the real estate company that owns the terminal property in Vuosaari, Helsinki, improved the company's balance sheet structure and liquidity, and it will significantly lighten the company's cost structure together with the expiry of the Kotka lease. This will provide the company with good prerequisites for growth in its main business operations: Chinese container train business, forwarding and terminal services in Vuosaari.

Russian subsidiary OOO Nurminen Logistics' net sales for the review period decreased and profitability decreased year-on-year due to a change in the business concept. The net sales of the Baltic operations increased strongly, thanks to large deliveries taking place in Latvia late in the year, and profitability was at a good level. Baltic operations account for 56% (55%) of the Group's net sales.

Tero Vauraste was the company's President and CEO until 25 May 2020. Olli Pohjanvirta was the company's interim CEO from 25 May 2020 to 12 November 2020 and President and CEO as of 13 November 2020. Mikko Järvinen, SVP Sales, left the company

on 20 May 2020. The company appointed a new operational management team on 11 June 2020 as follows:

  • Olga Stepanova, positioned in Moscow, assumed responsibility for the company's growing train product, including the operations in St. Petersburg and Shanghai.

  • • Marjut Linnajärvi, who was in charge of the company's train to China product, was appointed as VP Sales.

  • • Joonas Louho assumed responsibility for the accountable business management of the Vuosaari terminal.

  • • Timo Hyyryläinen assumed responsibility for the accountable business management of the Kotka, Hamina and Vainikkala terminals.

After this, the operational management team was comprised of the Group Management Team members CEO Olli Pohjanvirta, CFO Iiris Pohjanpalo and CIO Petri Luurila, as well as VP Forwarding Jonna Paasonen, the Russian subsidiary's CEO Olga Stepanova, VP Sales Marjut Linnajärvi, HR Manager Pella Tolonen, Business Manager for Rauma forwarding Antti Koukku, as well as terminal Business Managers Joonas Louho and Timo Hyyryläinen.

Following the arrangement, the company's equity amounted to EUR 13.8 million at the end of the year, while it was EUR 0.8 million at the end of the previous financial period.

In addition, a meeting fee of EUR 1,500 per meeting for the Board and Board Committee meetings is paid to the Chair of the Board of Directors, EUR 1,000 per meeting to each member of the Board living in Finland and EUR 1,500 per meeting to each member of the Board living outside Finland.

In addition, the Chair of the Board of Directors is granted telephone benefit.

Authorising the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares

The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board to decide on the issuance of shares and/or special rights entitling to shares as referred to in chapter 10, section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act. Based on the authorisation, the Board of Directors is entitled to issue or transfer, either by one or several resolutions, shares and/or special rights up to a maximum equivalent of 20,000,000 new shares so that aforesaid shares and/or special rights could be used, e.g., for financing of company and business acquisitions or for financing of other business arrangements and investments, for the expansion of the ownership structure, paying of remuneration of the Board members and/or for the creating incentives for, or encouraging commitment in, personnel.

The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the share issuance with or without payment. The authorisation for deciding on a share issuance without payment also includes the right to decide on the share issue for the company itself, so that the authorisation may be used in such a way that in total no more than one-tenth (1/10) of all shares in the company may from time to time be in the possession of the company and its subsidiaries.

The authorisation includes the Board of Director's right to decideon all other terms and conditions of the share issuances and the issuances of special rights. The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on share issuances, issuances of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares in every way to the same extent as could be decided by the General Meeting, including the Board of Director's right to decide on directed share issuances and/or issuance of special rights.

The authorisation is valid until 30 April 2021 and the authorisation does not revoke the authorisation granted to the Board of Directors by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 17 July 2017 on the issuance of shares as well as the issuance of options and other special rights entitling to shares.

Auditor

The Annual General Meeting decided to elect Ernst & Young Oy as the auditor of the company for the term ending at the close of the next Annual General Meeting. Juha Hilmola, Authorised Public Accountant, acts as the principal auditor. The auditor's fee will be paid in accordance with the auditor's invoice accepted by the company.

Environmental Factors

Nurminen Logistics seeks environmentally friendly and efficient transport solutions as part of the development of its services. Research shows that the container train to China is the most ecological method of transporting goods between China and Europe.

All services provided by the company in Finland are covered by a certified environmental management system that meets the requirements of the ISO 14001:2004 standard.

Long-Term Financial Objectives

The Board of Directors has set the company's long-term financial objectives. The long-term objectives of Nurminen Logistics are to achieve a growth rate that is higher than that of the markets in general, a net operating profit level of 7% and a return on equity of 12%.

Short-Term Risks and Uncertainties

World trade weakening from the current situation as a consequence of the pandemic continuing may have a negative impact on the demand for the company's services and thereby result. If Finland's foreign trade decreases, it may have an impact on the demand for services. The Chines container train business that is important to the company has been growing in recent years, but a very strong worsening of the pandemic situation can cause temporary functional difficulties to it due to shutdowns of customers' production plants or restrictions on railway traffic border crossing points.

The worsening of the COVID-19 situation can lead to restrictions on the transport of goods at borders, which would have a negative impact on the company's business.

A sudden strong divergence in the USD/EUR exchange rate could lead to exchange rate losses, against which the company aims to hedge itself by keeping the ratio of USD-denominated sales invoices and purchase invoices in balance.

A strong long-term increase in the tariff-based costs of railway traffic in relation to the cost structure of maritime traffic would have a negative impact on the volume development of the Chinese freight train, especially in the lowest price categories of goods.

Labour market disruptions can have an impact on our customers' production volumes and thereby their need for services and the functioning of the production chain, especially in ports.

More detailed information about the risk information of the company can be found on the Investors page on Nurminen Logistics' website athttps://www.nurminenlogistics.com/investors/.

Events After the Review Period

In January, the company announced that it is opening three new train routes from China to Finland. Suzhou, Ningbo, and Jinan are new routes in early 2021.

The company announced on 16 February 2021 that M.Sc. (Econ.) Ari Soinola has been appointed Vice President, Operations and Development of Nurminen Logistics Plc with responsibility for the outsourcing business and its development and a management team member as of 8 March 2021.

The company announced on 18 February 2021 that it is deploying a container train management system as a forerunner.

During spring 2021, the company will further specify its strategy and define the financial objectives for 2021-2023.

Board of Directors' Proposal for Profit Distribution

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS

1.

THE ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Basic information about the Group

The business idea of Nurminen Logistics is to provide and produce high-quality and customer competitiveness increasing logistics services in Finland, Russia and direct regular railway cargo services between Finland and China. The parent company of the Group is Nurminen Logistics Plc. The parent company is domiciled in Helsinki, Finland, and its registered address is Satamakaari 24, 00980 Helsinki. The parent company is listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange.

Copies of the consolidated financial statements are available in internet atwww.nurminenlogistics.com. The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 5

March 2021. According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders have the right to approve or reject the financial statements in the Annual General Meeting held after the publication of the financial statements. The Annual General Meeting also has the right to decide to amend the financial statements.

Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved in European Union, in accordance with the IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations effective on 31 December 2020. International Financial Reporting Standards are standards and interpretations adopted for application in the European Union in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in accordance with the Finnish Accounting Act and Ordinance and the Limited Liability Companies Act complementing the IFRS.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro and the figures are rounded off to the nearest thousand, so the sum of individually presented figures can deviate from the disclosed sums.

Adaptation of new and reviewed IFRS standards

The Group has applied the following amendments as of 1 January 2020:

  • • Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16

  • • Definition of a Business - amendments to IFRS 3

  • • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 - IBOR reform

  • • Definition of Material - amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8

  • • Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting

The amendments listed above have not had an impact on the amounts recognized for the financial period 1 January-31 December 2020, and they are not expected to have a significant impact on the next financial period, 1 January-31 December 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Nurminen Logistics Plc and those of all its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are entities controlled by the parent company. The Group controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

Acquired subsidiaries are accounted for by using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred, identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity and are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognized as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests and previously held equity interests in the acquiree, over the Group's share of the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date.

The consideration transferred includes any assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer, measured at fair value. Any contingent consideration related to the business combination is measured at fair value at the acquisition date and it is classified as either liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as liability is remeasured at its fair value at each balance sheet date and the subsequent changes to fair value are recognized in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not subsequently remeasured. The consideration transferred does not include any transactions accounted for separately from the acquisition, which are treated in conjunction with the acquisition in profit or loss. All acquisition-related costs, with the exception for costs to issue debt or equity securities, are expensed in the periods in which costs are incurred and services rendered.

All intra-group transactions, receivables and liabilities as well as unrealized gains and profit distribution are eliminated in the consolidation. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item under equity.

Non-controlling Interests

Any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Changes in the parent company's ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions if the parent company retains control over the subsidiary.

The result for the financial year and items recognized in other comprehensive income are allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if that results in a deficit balance, unless non-controlling interests have an exemption not to meet obligations which exceed non-controlling interests' investment. Equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately under equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Associates

Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence generally arises when the Group holds 20 to 50 per cent of a company's voting power or the Group otherwise has significant influence but not power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. Associates are consolidated using the equity method. When the Group's share of an associate's losses exceeds the carrying amount of the interest, the interest is recognized at zero value in the balance sheet and recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has committed to settle the associate's obligations.

The interest in an associate includes goodwill arisen on acquisition.

Unrealized gains resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The Group's share of an associate's result for the financial year is disclosed separately after financial items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary in the Group are determined using the currency reflecting the primary economic environment of that subsidiary ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euro which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent company and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency transactions of the Group companies are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated using the balance sheet date exchange rates and non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated using the transaction date exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the translation are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

In preparation of consolidated financial statements income and expenses for the income statements and for the statements of comprehensive income of those foreign Group companies, whose functional currency is not euro, are translated into euro by using the average exchange rate for the financial year and the balance sheets are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Translation differences arising from such translation are recognized in equity. Retranslating the result and the total comprehensive income for the financial year using different exchange rates for the statement of comprehensive income and for the balance sheet causes a translation difference recognized in Group's equity, the change in this translation difference is recognized under other comprehensive income. Respectively, foreign currency differences arising from the elimination of the costs of foreign subsidiaries, and from the retranslation of post-combination equity components in subsequent periods, are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or is otherwise disposed of, in part or in full, the accumulated foreign currency differences are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale for the disposed part.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes all expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the asset. Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of the item only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset

will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are the following:

• Buildings

30-40 years

• Transport equipment

5-8 years

• Machinery and equipment

3-10 years

• IT equipment

3 years

• Software

5-10 years

Land is not depreciated.

Recognition of depreciation on an item of property, plant and equipment is discontinued when the item is classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 standard. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Gains and losses on the disposal of assets are reported as the difference between selling price and carrying amount, and the gains and losses are included in other operating income and expenses in the income statement.

Useful lives and residual values are reviewed at every balance sheet date. Changes in the future economic benefits to be received from the items of property, plant and equipment are accounted for by adjusting the useful lives and residual values of the items in question. Gains and losses arising from sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in other operating income or in other operating expenses.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on business combinations is recognized as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the value of any previously held equity interest over the fair value of the acquired net assets.

Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested at least annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at historical cost less accumulated impairment losses.

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed in the financial year in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalized when certain criteria are met.

Other intangible assets

An intangible asset is recognized in the balance sheet only if its cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.

An intangible asset is measured at historical cost less amortization and any impairment losses. Group's intangible assets include mainly IT software which is amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 7 years.

Impairment of Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment

The Group assesses, at every balance sheet date, if there are any indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets. In case such indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment loss is recognized

in the income statement. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.

As to goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at least annually irrespective of whether indications of impairment exist. Impairment is assessed at a cash-generating unit level, i.e. at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable, mainly independent cash flows. In impairment testing of goodwill, the recoverable amount is based on value in use, i.e. on the estimated discounted future net cash flows.

At the recognition of the impairment loss the asset's useful life is re-estimated. The recognized impairment loss is reversed if the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount have changed. The reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset. An impairment loss on goodwill is never reversed.

Application of IFRS 9

Impairment policies are based on expected credit loss models. Impairment models apply to cash and cash equivalents, such as rental, sales and factoring receivables and loan receivables.

Financial instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets of Nurminen Logistics are classified according to IFRS 9 into the following categories: financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition of financial assets and is based on the business model applied by the company for the holding of financial assets and the nature of contractual cash flows.

Measurement of a financial asset at amortized cost requires the contractual cash flows to consist solely of interest and the repayment of principal (the so-called SPPI criterion). Compliance with the SPPI criterion is assessed on a per-instrument basis. If the SPPI criterion is not met, financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets are classified as current assets if they have a maturity of less than 12 months and are expected to be disposed of within 12 months. Otherwise, the item is presented as non-current assets. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of the financial assets in the case of an item measured at amortized cost. Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized on the settlement date. The fair values of financial instruments are determined using discounted cash flows.

Financial assets at amortized cost

An item of financial assets is measured at amortized cost if the business model requires the collection of fixed or predetermined cash flows. They consist of repayments of capital and interest on capital and arise when the Group provides loans or provides products and services directly to debtors. If an item of financial assets does not meet the above conditions, it is measured at fair value. The Group typically recognizes rental, factoring and trade receivables as well as loan receivables at amortized cost.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

If a financial asset is not measured in accordance with the above criteria, it is measured at fair value, and changes in fair value are recognized through profit or loss or they are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The company did not have any financial assets measured through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income in 2020.

Impairment or credit risk assessment of financial assets

In accordance with IFRS 9, Nurminen Logistics recognizes expected credit losses on cash classified at amortized cost. According to this model, expected loan losses based on an individual counterparty default risk assessment. The Group uses a simplified method for recognizing credit losses permitted by the standard, in which case the Group recognizes the expected credit loss over the life of the contract. The change in expected credit losses recorded at each reporting date reflects the change in the credit risk of the financial assets from the initial recognition. A credit transaction is no longer required to record a credit loss. Recognizing the amount of expected credit loss and a proactive provision for impairment is based on the management's best estimate of future credit losses. Customer receivables and the related credit loss risk are actively monitored by the company, and decisions on measures to secure the receivables are made, if necessary. When the amount of provision for credit loss is estimated on a case-by-case basis, any collateral or insurance, the customer's financial position and previous payment behavior are taken into consideration.

Financial assets are derecognized when the Group loses its contractual right to receive cash flows or when it has transferred a significant part of the risks and rewards of ownership. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, depending on the item, either in other operating expenses or in financial items.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank accounts as well as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date.

Financial liabilities

The financial liabilities of Nurminen Logistics are classified to the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost (other financial liabilities). The former category includes derivatives entered into by the Group, to which hedge accounting is not applied and that are not financial guarantee contracts. They are classified as held-for-trading instruments. The financial liabilities in this category are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at their fair values. Gains and losses arising from derivatives' fair value changes, both unrealized and realized, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Fair values are determined by discounting the instruments' cash flows.

Other financial liabilities, which mainly consist of Group's finance lease liabilities, are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount. Subsequently other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

A financial liability is classified as current if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. A financial liability (or part of the liability) is not derecognized until the liability has ceased to exist, that is, when the obligation identified in a contract has been fulfilled or cancelled or is no longer effective.

Revenue recognition principles - adaptation of new and reviewed IFRS 15 standard

Company's revenue consists mainly of forwarding services, railway transport and terminal services. Company receives income also from short- and long-term warehousing services. Revenue is recognized as goods are assigned to customer or service is concluded: as performance obligations are met and customer obtains the goods or services within the performance obligation. Revenue is recognized with the same price that the company expects to be entitled to, with sales taxes and other possible compensations deducted from the price. The prices for company's services are fixed and generally contain no alterable components.

For the adaptation of IFRS 15 -standard carries no significant effect on Nurminen Logistics Plc's revenue recognition and consolidation principles the revenue recognition principles from period 2017 are not presented. More information on those is available from the Annual Report 2017.

Revenue recognition principles have been described below:

Forwarding services

Forwarding service agreement consists of actions necessary for importing, exporting and customs duties. As whole they compile the performance obligation towards customer, which is usually concluded within a month from the signing of the agreement. Company recognizes revenue from agreement price when the delivery orders connected to import or export have been received and authority over the goods is transferred to customer or other party. Complete contract price is addressed on one performance obligation.

Railway services

The company provides international railway transport services with various types of wagons in which the goods are delivered to destination. Company recognizes revenue from agreement price when the delivery is complete at the arrival of the goods to destination. The service has singular contract obligation, which includes transport service to the destination, and the contract price is addressed to that obligation.

Terminal services

Terminal services consist of handling of goods at the arrival or departure of goods. The definite content of service is defined on contract level. Terminal service agreement is an entity to which the contract price is addressed to. The contract price is recognized when the work on handling goods has been completed.

Warehousing services

Warehousing services consist of renting space from terminal or terminal area for short or long term holding of goods. Warehousing agreement is an entity to which the contract price is addressed to. Profit from warehousing services are recognized over the time during the lease period for which the customer benefits from the service. Lease income is processed according to IFRS 15 -standard when customer is not given control over the leased space.

Contractual amounts recognized in the balance sheet

Trade receivables

Trade receivable is a transaction price that company has an unconditional right.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are typically from 14 to 60 days corresponding the average payment terms.

Contract assets or contract liabilities

Due to the nature of the business, Nurminen Logistics does not have contract assets or contract liabilities.

Employee benefits

Pension arrangements

The pension arrangements of Nurminen Logistics have been classified as defined contribution plans. Payments to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in the income statement in the period to which they relate. In defined contribution plans the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts in case the separate entity receiving the contributions fails to pay out the pension benefits.

Share-based payments

Such arrangements in which the Group has granted its employees a right to a future cash payment by granting the employees a right to shares that are redeemable, either at the Group's or an employee's demand, are accounted for as cash-settled share-based payments. The liability arising from such arrangement is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and at the settlement date and the changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the changes occur. The benefits granted in this arrangement are measured at fair value at their grant date and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Income taxes

The income tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income comprises the current tax, adjustments to previous periods' taxes as well as changes in deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognized in profit or loss except when they relate to other comprehensive income or equity, while income taxes are recognized within the respective items. Current tax is calculated based on taxable income using tax rates enacted in each country.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated for temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities used for taxation purposes and the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes under IFRS. The principal temporary differences arise from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and depreciation related to component accounting. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate that has been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position in full.

Tangible Assets and Leases

IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognize all leases in the balance sheet on a right-of-way basis. Leased assets are treated during the lease term on the same basis as owner-occupied assets and are recognized in the balance sheet on a straight-line basis. The debt based on the present value of the rent is reduced as the rent is paid. The group's right-of-use assets are comprised of IFRS 16 lease liabilities concerning land and water areas, buildings and machinery and equipment.

Because of its industry and business model, Nurminen Logistics primarily is the lessee in the contracts. The company primarily applies the standard to leases on land areas, premises and terminal properties, as well as terminal machinery and equipment. In determining the term of a lease, the company has exercised discretion in estimating the probability of exercising the extension options of leases and included the terms covered by the option in the term of the lease, if exercising the option is probable.

Leases are distinguished from service contracts using a control model. When the arrangement includes a specific asset that is under the control of the customer, it is a lease. The contract is recognized in the balance sheet as a non-current asset and a liability arising therefrom. Service contracts are recognized as an expense in the income statement.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the agreement, Nurminen Logistics values the lease liability at the present value of the rent outstanding at that date. Payments include fixed rentals and residual value guarantees less any available lease incentives. The company considers lease termination charges as part of the lease payments if it has considered the option to terminate during the lease term. VAT is not included in the amount of the lease liability and management and maintenance fees and other payments of a service nature are generally treated as an expense that cannot be capitalized in the balance sheet. Interest expenses are recognized through profit or loss over the term of the lease and the right-of-use asset is amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.

Rents are discounted using the company's estimated additional credit interest. The standard defines the interest rate for a supplementary loan as the interest that the lessee would have to pay on borrowing for the same period and with similar collateral to acquire the asset at the cost of the underlying asset.

Right of use assets

Nurminen Logistics records the lease at the commencement date of the lease, i.e. the date on which the lessor transfers the asset to the control of the company. The property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any subsequent revaluation of the lease liability. The original cost equals the original lease liability. In the future, fixed assets will also be subject to impairment testing.

Application of facilitations and significant assumptions

Nurminen Logistics does not treat short-term leases of less than 12 months or low value assets as property, plant and equipment, but recognizes the resulting rental expense in the income statement. Contracts of minor value primarily include IT and office hardware, company cars and small office spaces. Fixed-term leases are dealt with by the company within the term of a non-cancellable lease term and are subject to any subsequent option periods when the company has reasonable assurance that they will be exercised. The management exercises discretion in assessing the term of leases valid until further notice, which is based on the company's strategic situation and market conditions, as well as the costs that would be incurred if the leased commodity was replaced by another commodity.

Leases in which Nurminen Logistics is the lessor are operating leases and are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The remaining liabilities for leases that do not include a property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities are disclosed in Note 26 as off-balance sheet liabilities.

Operating profit

The operating profit is the total of sales and other operating income from which expenses for material and services, employee benefits and other operating expenses as well as depreciation, amortization and impairment losses on non-current assets are subtracted. Foreign currency differences arising from working capital items are included in the operating result, whereas foreign currency differences from financial assets and financial liabilities are included in financial income and expenses.

Hybrid bond

A hybrid bond is recognized in shareholders' equity after equity belonging to shareholders. The bond holders do not have any rights equivalent to ordinary shareholders. The company has no contractual obligation to repay the loan capital or the interest on the loan. The hybrid bond is initially recognized at fair value less transaction cost and subsequently the bond is measured at cost. If interest is paid to the hybrid bond, it is recognized directly into retained earnings.

Accounting policies requiring management judgement and assumptions driving uncertainties in estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments in the application of the accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions made affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as well as the income and expenses in the income statement.

In business combinations fair values of the items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are estimated and the depreciation and amortization periods for the assets are determined. The determination of fair value of intangible assets is based on estimates about future cash flows to be generated by these assets.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. Management's judgment must be used in determining the cash-generating units for goodwill testing. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units are determined based on value in use. The preparation of these calculations requires use of estimates. In calculation of value in use estimates are made about future cash flows and discount rate to be used. Estimates are based on budgets and forecasts, which contain some degree of uncertainty.

Due to uncertainty regarding use of confirmed losses the Group has not recorded deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are reviewed annually as to whether any indications exist that these assets might be impaired. If indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

Items of property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are depreciated and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives are reviewed regularly. The management reviews regularly, whether if certain items to be divested will not meet the criteria of IFRS 5 -standard for probability of divestment of an asset within 12-month period from categorizing these assets as long-term assets to be divested. Should these assets fail to meet the criteria for long-term assets to be divested they are to be written out from the category.

Estimates made in preparing the financial statements are based on the management's best view and the information available at the balance sheet date. Estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other factors that are considered the best view in measuring such assets and liabilities, whose values cannot be derived from other sources. The estimates concerning the future are based on assumptions that are regarded as the most probable at the balance sheet date relating to the expected development of the financial environment of Nurminen Logistics and assumptions about the development of sales and cost level. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed continuously. The realization of estimates and assumptions and the changes in underlying factors are reviewed regularly by using both external and internal sources of information. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only the period in question. If the revision to accounting estimate affects both the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods, the revision is recognized respectively in the period in question and in future periods.

Adoption of other new and revised IFRS standards

New standards and amendments to existing standards coming into effect in the fiscal year starting 1.1.2021 or later are the following:

  • • Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current and Non-current. The amendments to IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current and non-current.

  • • Amendments to IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use. Under the amendment, proceeds from selling items before the related item of PPE is available for use should be recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing those items.

  • Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts - Costs of Fulfilling a Contract. Under the amendment, when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making, an entity needs to include both the direct costs as well as incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities.

  • • Amendments to IFRS 9: Fees in the '10 per cent' test for derecognition of financial liabilities The amendment to IFRS 9 clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability to determine whether to derecognize the existing financial liability.

  • • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 - Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. The amendment provides temporary reliefs related to financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free rate (RFR).

  • • Amendments to IFRS 3: Reference to the Conceptual Framework. The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, issued in 1989, to an updated version issued in 2018 without significantly changing its requirements.

  • • Additionally IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 41 have been issued but they will not have an impact on Nurminen Logistics financial statements.

The new and amended standards that become effective on 1 January 2021 or later are not expected to have an impact on Nurminen Logistics consolidated financial statements.

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 situation slowed down the development of the company's train transport to China business and hindered sales work in both the Nordic countries and China. Restrictions on transports of foodstuffs placed on railways led to the company not being able to fully benefit from its good position as one of the few owners of temperature-controlled containers.

After initial recognition, the Group's cash and cash equivalents are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, amortized cost or financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The carrying amounts of these financial assets and liabilities substantially correspond to their fair values and are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following levels are used in measuring fair values:

Level 1: Fair value is determined based on quotations from the market.

Level 2: Fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Fair value means the value that can be determined from the market value of parts of a financial instrument or similar financial instruments; or a value that can be determined using valuation models and methods generally accepted in the financial markets, if the market value can be reliably determined using them.

Level 3: Fair value is determined using valuation techniques in which the factors used have a significant effect on the recorded fair value and these factors are not based on observable market data.

14. IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and if indications of impairment exist. The recoverable amount in the impairment testing calculations is determined based on value in use.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the assets allocated to a cash-generating unit, including goodwill, is higher than the unit's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the unit.

Goodwill is allocated for cash generating units (CGUs) for impairment testing. Nurminen Logistics Plc has two CGUs: operations in Finland and Russia, and operations in Baltics (49 % minority). Goodwill is allocated to business operations in Finland. Management estimates that COVID-19 will not have a significant impact on the company's impairment testing. An impairment loss in goodwill in the amount of 5 271 thousand euros was booked in previous fiscal year 1.1.-31.12.2019.

Signals on possible depreciation of assets are regularly observed from information sources within and outside the Group. These signals can be for example unexpected deviations from key assumptions in Group reporting. In addition to this the signals can be changes in competition or other circumstances in the market, or new regulations or concessions that have an impact on various business fields.

Impairment test calculations on cash flow are based budgets and strategic forecasts accepted by management from the previous five years. For the time period after this forecast period (terminal value) estimated cash flows have been defined by using long term growth forecasts. Essential assumptions having an impact on defining values in use are connected to development of net sales and profitability, and to weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used in discounting cash flows.

For the five-year time period the cashflow has been estimated to develop according to company's medium length turnover and viability goals. Sales increase and profitability level development have been estimated based on businesses recent development and general forecasts. Terminal value is based on 1% growth in cash flow. The cash flow forecast is based on turnover and profitability forecasts made for each business sector, which are based on budget for the year 2021 and long-term strategy approved by management. These are affected by market development in Finland, Russia and neighboring regions, planned growth in regular railway service between Finland and China and actions to improve profitability in the company.

Discount rate is based on industry average WACC after tax. Used discount rate is 9.84%. Corresponding pre-tax discount rate is 12,03%. Discount rate and impairment test calculation take in account market risks and capital intensity. The cost for equity affecting on WACC is consistent with Group's long-term targets. Net sales in Finnish and Russian businesses was 35,3 million euros. The net sales are expected to increase especially due to railway service between Finland China during the year 2021. Increase in net sales (CAGR) over the years 2021 - 2025 averages 2.6 %. Increase in net sales per year over the years 2021-2025 is 2.3 %. EBIT for the underlying business is expected to improve up to the level of Group's long-term target. (Group's long-term target is 7%.) Tax rate of 20% has been used.

Sensitivity analysis when one component changes:

Management evaluates that the most sensitive judgements relate to changes in terminal growth, profitability and WACC.

Forecast period 2021-2025

Impact of change on recoverable amount

  • • Terminal growth 1 %

    Terminal growth -1 %-point i.e. terminal growth 0 %

Based on sensitivity analyses the management evaluates that above mentioned essential judgements would not cause a situation in which the carrying amount of cash generating units would exceed the recoverable amount, and this would not cause impairment loss on goodwill in fiscal year 2020.

At the end of 2019, the company classified the Luumäki terminal as an available-for-sale asset based on a plan prepared by the company to phase out the use of the terminal. Luumäki as a locality does not include the company's business plan, as the company focuses on the largest ports in Finland and the operations of Vainikkala, the largest border crossing point. The warehouse and logistics terminal with an area of 12,228 m2 is located in Luumäki at Suoanttilantie 101.

Prior to this, the Luumäki terminal was part of the Finnish-Russian cash-generating unit. It has been transferred to non-current assets held for sale from buildings.

The terminal premises are for sale because they are no longer suitable for Nurminen Logistics' business. As a result of the classification, the company valued the terminal at fair value less costs to sell and recognized an impairment loss of EUR 548 thousand in the financial year 2019. The fair value was based on an external real estate appraisal acquired by the company. After the write-down, the value of the Luumäki terminal at the end of the financial year 2019 was EUR 897 thousand. Based on an external real estate appraisal, the company's management has reassessed the fair value of the available-for-sale asset at the balance sheet date 2020 and determined that the book values presented in the balance sheet correspond to the fair value of the property at the balance sheet date 2020.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment ceases when the property, plant and equipment is classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Gains and losses on disposals are determined as the difference between the sales price and the carrying amount, and are included in other operating income and expenses in the income statement.

The Covid 19 pandemic has delayed the sale of the Luumäki terminal, however, the market situation for logistics facilities has clearly picked up, so the company's management estimates that the property will be sold during 2021. The sale of the premises is not expected to have a significant impact on earnings.

21. EQUITY DISCLOSURES

The Board members of the parent company review the capitalstructure, gearing and cost of debt of the Group on regular basis. No target has been set for the gearing, but the Board of the parent company may take measures, if development of the gearing is unfavourable. Gearing calculated from the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group was 266,1 % in the end of 2020 and 4849,1 % in the end of 2019. Equity management covers both own equity and interest-bearing liabilities. The aim is to secure business continuity and cost of capital.

22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

In accordance with the decision of the Annual General Meeting, 50% of the annual remuneration of the Board members in 2020 will be paid in company shares. The share of Board members' share awards recognized as an expense in the income statement was EUR 60,000 in 2020. The number of shares transferred to the Board members was 143,539 based on the price on the payment date of October 5, 2020.

The long-term incentive plan of the previous CEO Tero Vauraste for 2020-2022 has ended, because his employment and employment relationship ended during 2020. As a result, no expense from the share-based incentive plan has been recognized for the financial year 2020.

The earning period of the current CEO's share-based incentive plan is January 1-December 31, 2021, and the reward will be paid after the end of the earning period partly in company shares and partly in cash. The cash proportion is intended to cover taxes and tax-related costs arisin from the reward to the CEO. The potential reward from the plan is based on Nurminen Logistics Group's operating result (EBIT) for the financial year 2021 and the Total Shareholder Return of Nurminen Logistics Plc's share in 2021. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the plan correspond to a maximum total value of 1,700,000 Nurminen Logistics Plc shares, including the portion to be paid in cash. The reward to be paid on the basis of the plan can be reduced by deducting the number of shares to be given, if the limit value set for the share price is reached. During the financial year 2020, no expense has been recognized for the arrangement.

25. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The objective of the Group's risk management is to minimise the adverse effects by the changes in financial markets on the Group's result and equity. The policy for managing financial risks is based on the main principles of finance approved by the Board of Directors. The finance department is responsible for the daily risk management within the limits set by the Board of Directors.

Currency risk

Currency risk arises from foreign currency imports and exports, from the financing of foreign subsidiaries and from translation of subsidiaries' equity in foreign currency. The Group manages the currency risk inherent in cash flows by keeping foreign currency income and expense cash flows in the same currency, and by matching them simultaneously to the extent possible. If matching is not possible, a part of an open position may be hedged.

Foreign currency transaction risk position can be hedged if the counter value of currency exceeds EUR 500,000. Positions greater than EUR 2 million are hedged 50-110 %. Foreign currency risk of the net translation exposure can be hedged 25-75 %. Instruments used in hedging include forward contracts and plain vanilla options. Exotic options are forbidden. The hedge ratio is considered based on the current economic trends and the predicted currency prospects as well as the functionality of each currency's hedge market. In extraordinary hedging market circumstances the company may deviate from guidelines above.

Currency amounts in bank accounts should be kept as small as possible without disturbing payment transactions. The amount of cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies may not exceed one per cent of the total of the balance sheet.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risks to the Group derive mainly through interest-bearing debts. The purpose of the interest rate risk management is to diminish the effect of market interest rate movements on cash flows from financing. Hedging instruments may include forward rate agreements and interest rate futures, interest rate swaps and interest collar agreements.

The EUR 5 million loan from Ilmarinen includes condition that company shall pay extra 20% profit share of the confirmed annual report net result when the loan is unshortened. The profit share decreases linearily with installments.

Liquidity risk

The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure sufficient financing in all situations. Funds required for about two weeks' payment transactions will be reserved as a buffer for liquidity of payment transactions. The Group aims to guarantee the availability and flexibility of financing by using a number of financial institutions and financing methods in raising finance.

The financial statements are based on the principle of business continuity. The company's management estimates that the operating cash flow generated by the company covers the current business needs and current liabilities for the next 12 months. Sufficiency of operative cash flow is subject to risks if estimates deviate considerably from expectations. If the Group is unable to secure sufficient long term financing arrangements, the continuity of operations can be at risk. The valuation of assets is based on the going concern assumption. If cash flow estimates do not realize according to plan, demand for impairment losses on assets may arise.

Credit risk

The objective of credit risk management is to minimise losses which arise from other party neglecting their obligations. The Group manages the counterparty risk based on the customer credit rating and engages in active debt collection, when necessary.

The Group has made ECL measurement analysis according to IFRS 9. It has recognized estimated credit losses through income statement.

The Group has not applied hedge accounting during 2020 and 2019.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk

In calculating the sensitivity to changes in the interest rate level the following assumptions have been used:

  • • the change in the interest rate level has been assumed to be +/- 100 bps

  • • At a time of negative reference interest rates interest rate movements affect as diluted. In the analyse reference interest rates are though to be at least zero.

Notes to the Parent Company's Financial Statements

Accounting principles for the parent company's financial statements

The financial statements of Nurminen Logistic Plc are prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Measurement of non-current assets

Items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are carried at cost less the planned depreciation / amortisation. They are depreciated / amortised over their estimated useful lives, which are the following:

• Intangible assets

3-5 years

• Machinery and equipment

3-10 years

• Goodwill

5-10 years

• Other capitalised long-term expenditure

5-10 years

The company's subsidiary shares and other shares in the investments in non-current assets are valued at acquisition cost or, if lower, at fair value. The fair value that are used as the basis for the valuation of subsidiary shares is based on management's valuation calculations of future cash flows of subsidiaries.

Measurement of receivables

Receivables are measured at the lower of nominal and estimated probable value.

Pensions

Pension costs are presented in accordance with national legislation in each country. The pension security of the Finnish personnel has been arranged through external pension insurance companies.

Foreign currency items

Foreign currency receivables and liabilities are translated into euro at the closing rate at the balance sheet date.

Auditor's Report

To the Annual General Meeting of Nurminen Logistics Plc

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Nurminen Logistics Plc (business identity code 0109707-8) for the year ended 31 December 2020. The financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheet, income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company's balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and notes.

In our opinion

  • • the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position as well as its financial performance and its cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.

  • • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company's financial performance and financial position in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit Committee.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing practice are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

In our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and we have not provided any prohibited non- audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of regulation (EU) 537/2014. The non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Key Audit Matter

Valuation of Goodwill

We refer to the accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements in the note 1 of the consolidated financial statements and the note 14 about the impairment of intangible assets and property plant and equipment.

In the financial statements for the year 2020, the value of goodwill amounted to 0,9 million euros.

The annual impairment test was significant to our audit because

  • • the assessment process is judgmental, and

  • • it is based on assumptions relating to market or economic conditions extending to the future.

The valuation of goodwill is based on the management's estimate about the value-in-use calculations of the cash generating units. There are number of underlying assumptions used to determine the value-in-use, including the revenue growth, EBIT and discount rate applied on net cash-flows.

Estimated values-in-use may vary significantly when the underlying assumptions are changed and the changes in above-mentioned individual assumptions may result in an impairment of goodwill.

Valuation of goodwill was determined to be a key audit matter and a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article 10 (2).

Key Audit Matter

Revenue Recognition

We refer to the accounting principles for the consolidated financial statements in the note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, note 2 segment information and the note 18 trade and other receivables.

Revenue recognition is considered as a key audit matter because revenues are a key financial performance measure which could create an incentive for revenues to be recognized prematurely.

Relevant areas from the net sales perspective are accuracy of the recognized amounts and timing of revenue recognition.

Revenue recognition was determined to be a key audit matter and a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in EU Regulation No 537/2014, point (c) of Article 10 (2).

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

In order to address the risk of material misstatement we have carried out the following audit procedures. We involved EY valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the methodologies, calculations and assumptions applied by the management in the impairment testing.

In evaluation of methodologies, we compared the principles applied by the management in the impairment tests to the requirements set in IAS 36 Impairment of assets standard and ensured the mathematical accuracy of the impairment calculations.

The key assumptions applied by the management in impairment tests were compared to

  • • approved budgets and long-term forecasts by the management,

  • • information available in external sources, as well as

  • • our independently calculated industry averages such as weighted average cost of capital used in discounting the cashflows.

We also assessed the sufficiency of the disclosures regarding the goodwill.

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

Our audit procedures to address the risk of material misstatement included

  • • the analysis of the revenue recognition accounting policies and

  • • comparison of revenue transactions to the supportingdocumentation in order to assess whether the requirements for the revenue recognition have been met.

In addition, we requested external trade receivable confirmations, tested general ledger journal entries on a sample basis as well as performed analytical procedures in order to identify abnormal entries.

We also assessed the sufficiency of the revenue recognition disclosures in respect of the IFRS 15 standard.

Key Audit Matter

Valuation of subsidiary investments

We refer to the accounting principles of the parent company and to the note 2 of the balance sheet of the parent company.

Valuation of subsidiary investments is considered as a key audit matter because of the judgment involved in the valuation process and because the subsidiary investments are significant to the parent company balance sheet. The carrying value of subsidiary investments at year-end 2020 amounted to 45,2 million euros. These investments represented some 84,5 % of the total assets and some 139,2 % of the total equity.

Valuation of subsidiary investment requires management to make an assessment whether

  • • there are indicators that the investments are permanently impaired, and

  • • what the value of investments is at year-end.

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter

We involved EY valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the methodologies, calculations and assumptions applied by the management in the valuation of parent company's subsidiary investments.

The assumptions applied by the management were compared to

  • • approved budgets and long-term forecasts by the management,

  • • information available in external sources, as well as

  • • our independently calculated industry averages such as weighted average cost of capital used in discounting the cashflows.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for assessing the parent company's and the group's ability to continue as going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the parent company's or the group's internal control.

  • • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company's or the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

  • • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other Reporting Requirements

Information on our audit engagement

We were first appointed as auditors by the Annual General Meeting on 12 April 2016, and our appointment represents a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 5 years.

Other information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the report of the Board of Directors.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the financial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the report of the Board of Directors, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
