Olli Pohjanvirta, President and CEO:
The second half of the year was a time of positive development for the company, in spite of the challenges caused by COVID-19 pandemic. The company's net sales increased by 27% or EUR 9,4 million on the reference period 2019 and H2 operating result improved clearly compared to H1, amounting to EUR +0.3 million, and EUR +0.9 million excluding non-recurring costs. The development was favourable in all business groups. The development was particularly good in the freight train to China product, which lays down good preconditions for profitable growth in the future as well.
Towards the end of the review period, we succeeded in implementing significant cuts to fixed costs, arranging competitive bidding for outsourced services and trim unprofitable locations. The acquisition of the Vuosaari property succeeded with a share issue, and the company now operates in premises that it owns. This significantly decreased the lease liabilities related to IFRS 16 on the company's balance sheet, and valuable properties now act as counterparts on the balance sheet liabilities. The company's balance sheet and expenditure structure were restructured during H2, while the company's net sales and profitability improved. Thanks to all of our personnel for this.
Our service level improved during H2 in all business groups: we were able to offer our customers train services with containers in the prevailing difficult container situations, and our operations developed well in our special terminals, the Kotka chemical hall and Vuosaari heavy goods handling hall. Among forest industry customers, the favourable export development in cardboard was positively visible towards the end of the review period. Our forwarding business and Baltic operations remained at a good level.
We managed to get the company to develop well in railway and forwarding business operations, in which the scaling opportunitiesare significant thanks to digitisation and good partnership networks. The company's digitisation is promoted by the use of robotics and automation of booking platforms, which we have begun.
Significant growth in the international clientele was particularly important, reducing our country risk in Finland and facilitating even rapid growth. Further development of our business in China looks good. We have agreed on opening new routes during Q1 2021 with several provinces. Our four new destinations in China increase the geographical coverage of our network to a very good level. Thanks to this, we can extensively serve our clientele across China, while reducing the significance of the development of a single Chinese area in our business.
CO2 emissions in rail traffic, deployment of digitisation in logistics, requirement for fast delivery of goods in supply chain planning and e-commerce as well as growth in the Asian economies will support the future development of our business operations.
The company will continue strong investments in rail traffic between Europe and Asia and digital production processes and launch a new outsourcing service concept during H1 2021. When the COVID-19 pandemic eases, the company will be able to rapidly increase its capacity and respond with new launches in China, such as refrigerated transport of foodstuffs.
Based on the start of the year 2021, the company's development will continue well, and the company estimates that net sales will increase and operating result will improve clearly on 2020.
Market situation during the review period
The general market situation remained weak in Finland in 2020, with foreign trade volumes decreasing substantially. Finland's trade with China remaining at a good level had a positive impact on the operations of Nurminen Logistics. This was supported by the importance given to CO2 values and significant container issues in maritime traffic. Thanks to reliability and our good operational capability, the transport volumes of the freight train to China product continued to grow, even though rail traffic between China and Europe had general operational challenges, mainly relating to additional border inspections due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
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.
Net sales and financial performance 1 January-31 december 2020
EUR 1,000 | 1-12/2020 | 1-12/2019 |
Net sales | 80,707 | 69,340 |
Operating result | -206 | -8,517 |
Thanks to the operational restructuring measures started in 2019 and growth in the freight train to China business, the result for the financial year 2020 improved significantly. In spite of chal-lenges early in the year, the company succeeded in increasing its net sales, particularly during the second half of the year, and the net sales for 2020, EUR 80.7 million (2019: EUR 69.3 million) increased by 16% year-on-year. The operating result also grad-ually increased during the financial period and amounted to EUR
-0.2 million. Excluding non-recurring costs, the full-year operating result was EUR +0.4 million. The non-recurring costs were as-sociated with measures to increase efficiency, which will have a positive impact in the form of clearly lower fixed costs in 2021.
Business review 1-12/2020
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 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 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, will improve the company's balance sheet structure and liquidity, and significantly lighten the company's cost structure together with the expiry of the major Kotka terminal lease. This will provide the company with good prerequisites for growth in its main business operations: freight train to China, freight forwarding and terminal services in Vuosaari, Kotka and Vainikkala.
In addition, organisational restructuring carried out in the summer, personnel reductions in the autumn and investments in digitisation will increase operational efficiency and improve the level of service in 2021.
The net sales of the Baltic operations increased, 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 China 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.
Jonna Paasonen was appointed as Chief Development Officer and member of the Group Management Team on 22 September 2020 and Antti Koukku as Vice President, Forwarding.
Net sales and financial result for the second half of the year
EUR 1,000 | 1-12/2020 | 1-12/2019 |
Net sales | 44,227 | 34,870 |
Operating result | 302 | -6,808 |
The H2 net sales were 21% higher than for the first half of the year, mainly on account of the freight train to China business and Baltic companies, and the operating result was EUR +0.3 million in the black. H2 net sales was EUR 44.2 million and increased by 27% compared to the corresponding period in 2019, and the operating result for the period under review was EUR +0.3 million (EUR -6.8 million), and EUR +0.9 million excluding non-recurring costs.
Business review 7-12/2020
The freight train to China business continued its strong growth during the period under review. The strong recovery of China, reduction of the offering of maritime and air freight and increase in prices contributed to the growth in net sales and improvement of profitability.
The net sales of the freight train business for July-December grew strongly. Problems with the availability of containers late in Finland and China late in the year postponed deliveries over the turn of the year and tied up funds in containers. By acquiring containers, we are however able to secure customer deliveries in the future, with the container situation continuing to be challenging.
The growth would have been considerably stronger without the temporary restrictions on transports of foodstuffs due to the COVID-19 situation in autumn 2020.
In the forwarding business, we discontinued serving the low-margin agent network, as a result of which net sales were lower in H2 than in H1, but this made operations healthier. The profitability of business operations continued to be good.
The development of terminal services improved significantly towards the end of the year and operating result improved. The impacts of COVID-19 remained lower than expected.
The net sales of the Baltic operations increased strongly, thanks to large deliveries taking place in Latvia late in the year, and profitability continued at a good level during the period under review.
Covid-19-pandemic
Company's development has been good, although 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. In addition, the development of inland China operations is slower than scheduled.
The lifting of these restrictions will have a positive impact on business operations.
Future outlook
Nurminen Logistics estimates that the development of the economy and market will recover after the COVID-19 pandemic and the world economy will begin to grow again in H2 2021. Nurminen Logistics estimates that net sales will increase and operating result will improve clearly in 2021.
Growth in the importance of environmental values to our customers and consumers alike will support the competitiveness of low- emission railway connections to China and their importance to the supply chains of our close-by areas compared to other forms of transport. Container transports by rail are here to stay in transports between Asia and Europe, and they will take a major share of the value of commerce. This is supported by the need for faster turnover of working capital, precise size of consignments, and development of inland China and railway connections.
Changes in trade policy and increasing regulation can increase customers' need for professional forwarding service in international trade.
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 container train to China business that is important to the company has been growing in recent years, but a worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic situation can cause temporary functional difficulties to it due to for example shutdowns of customers' production plants or restrictions on railway traffic border crossing points.
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.

Financial position and balance sheet
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR +3.5 million, in which H1 was EUR +3.4 million and H2 EUR +0,1 million, mainly due to a change in working capital. Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -8.6 million following the acquisition of a majority holding in the real estate company that owns the Vuosaari property. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR +5.5 million, with the EUR 9.3 million raised in the directed offering as the biggest item.
At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 4.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents attributable to the Baltic operations amount to EUR 3.1 million.
With regard to certain non-current assets available for sale, the sales processes progressed favourably, and we expect progress and completion of transactions during 2021.
The measurement of the assets in the financial statements is based on the going concern assumption and market prices, and the assets do not involve a risk of write-downs in the current situation. The management of the company estimates that the operating cash flow will cover the current business needs and liabilities for the next 12 months.
Current interest-bearing liabilities of the company, a total of EUR 2.4 million, consist of IFRS lease liabilities of EUR 0.6 million and bank loans of EUR 1.8 million.

IFRS lease liabilities total EUR 10.5 million, of which the Vuosaari land lease accounts for EUR 7.0 million. Long-term loans amount to EUR 29.0 million. The loans from Ilmarinen amounting to EUR 13.0 million are due in June 2023, and Kiinteistö Oy Helsingin Satamakaari 24 has taken out from OmaSäästöpankki a 10-year loan in the amount of EUR 17.1 million. The company repaid EUR 0.25 of the hybrid bond to Ilmarinen in December 2020.
The Group's interest-bearing liabilities totalled EUR 41.2 million and the net interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 36.8 million. The real estate company accounts for EUR 17.1 million of the interest-bearing liabilities. The company has an equity-based hybrid bond from Ilmarinen, amounting to EUR 1.25 million.
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, significantly improved the company's balance sheet structure and equity ratio. 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. The equity ratio improved to 20.9% (1.5%) as a result. The balance sheet total was EUR 66.2 million.

Depreciation totalled EUR 5.0 million (EUR 5.2 million), or 6.2% of net sales. Amortisation of right of use assets associated with IFRS 16 amounted to EUR 4.5 million (EUR 3.9 million).
The biggest individual investment was the acquisition of the majority holding in the real estate company that owns the Vuosaari terminal property for a purchase price of EUR 8.7 million.

• A directed share issue of to the CEO Tero Vauraste in April, in which the CEO subscribed for 120,000 shares at a subscription price of EUR 0.24 per share. There was a weighty financial reason for the company to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription right of the shareholders, as the share issue was part of the execution of the CEO's long-term incentive plan. The subscription price was determined based on the market value of the share. The subscription price was recorded in full to the company's reserve for invested unrestricted equity.
• A share issue to the company itself without consideration in September, with the 143,539 shares issued used for the payment of the remuneration of the Board members.

In the aggregate, the investors subscribed for 29,344,954 new shares at a subscription price of EUR 0.31692 per share. There was a weighty financial reason for the company to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription right of the shareholders, as the share issue best served the interests of the company and all shareholders and made the above real estate transaction possible. The subscription price was EUR 0.31692 per share, which corresponded to the volume-weighted average trading price of the company's shares during the 180-day period that ended on 11 November 2020.

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 decide on 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.

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.

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.

Accounting principles
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the standards in force on 31 December 2015 have been applied. The Financial Statement Release has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for 2020. Other new or amended IFRS standards or interpretations that have entered into force did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements. All of the individual figures disclosed in this financial statement release are rounded off to the nearest exact figure. Therefore, the sum of individual figures can deviate from the sum reported in the interim report.
Accounting principles requiring management discretion and key uncertainties associated with estimates
The preparation of IFRS financial statements requires the company's management to make certain estimates and assumptions and discretion in the application of accounting principles. Even though these estimates are based on the best knowledge of the management at the time, the actual outcomes can deviate from the assumptions used in the half-yearly reports.
Tables and calculation formulas for indicators
All figures are rounded, so the sums of individual figures may differ from the reported sum. The key performance indicators have been calculated using exact values.
