Pealkiri Audited Annual Report 2019
Tekst
On 30 June 2020, the Supervisory Council of AS Nordic Fibreboard has approved
the company's 2019 audited annual report.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS

Revenue and operating results

Nordic Fibreboard recorded positive EBITDA of EUR 325 thousand for full year 2019
from  continuing operations (vs positive  EUR 428 thousand in 2018 from continuing
operations).  2019 full year EBITDA includes  one-off profit EUR 327 thousand from
revaluation   of  investment  property,  whereas  2018 EBITDA  included  one-off
expenses   of   increase   provision   reserves  by  EUR  25 thousand.  Fibreboard
profitability  was substantially reduced due to the  higher cost of its main raw
material,  woodchips and  to leakages  in one  of its  driers, which resulted in
substantial higher consumption of energy during fourth quarter. Furniture retail
EBITDA became even more negative compared to the closure of stores.

Net  loss  for  full-year  2019 was  EUR 1 127 thousand from continuing operations
(2018:  loss  of  EUR  360 thousand  from continuing operations). Consolidated net
sales  for 2019 were  EUR 13.33 million  from continuing  operations, being  a 6%
increase compared to 2018 (2018: EUR 12.53 million from continuing operations).

Fibreboard  activities showed sales  of EUR 11.75 million  in 2019, this being 7%
sales  increase  from  previous  year,  when  sales  was EUR 11.01 million, due to
securing  new customers  in display  board and  door core  segments. We recorded
sales  increase in  emerging markets  in Asia  and Africa  while also continuing
sales  growth in EU due to securing  new customers. Finland, our largest market,
continued  to  experience  sales  decline  despite Nordic Fibreboard keeping its
market  share within soft density fibreboard segment, thus reflecting the growth
of  other materials for use  in the construction sector,  mainly in new build of
apartment.

Prior  to the sale on 5 September  2019 of our furniture wholesale company Skano
Furniture  Factory, sales in this unit were EUR 1.22 million, compared to the full
year  2018 sales  of  EUR  2.27 million.   This  report considers the wholesale of
furniture as a discontinued operations.

Furniture  retail sales decreased by 1% compared to 2018 (from EUR 1.54 million to
EUR  1.52 million). Sales dropped because Pärnu  mnt salon in Tallinn, Tartu, Riga
and  Vilnius stores were closed in the second half of 2019. Furniture retail for
2019 were  therefore negative  EBITDA EUR  200 thousand (2018  result was negative
EBITDA of EUR 104 thousand).

Performance of business units

NORDIC FIBREBOARD Ltd

Fibreboard  sales for 2019 were EUR 11.75 million,  which is 7% more than in 2018
(2018:  EUR  11.01 million).  We  sold  our  products to customers in 39 countries
during  the year 2019. Sales growth in the EU were mainly driven by securing new
customers  in both the display board and the door core segments. Sales to Russia
showed  a modest  increase in  2019, reflecting the  slight increase in business
confidence and business activity in that market. Middle East markets continue to
experience subdued economic environment. In Asia we secured new customers in new
countries,  and  in  Africa  we  benefitted  from  a  loss  of a key competitor.
Fibreboard  recorded EBITDA  of EUR  68 thousand for  full year 2019 (2018: EUR 280
thousand),  the reduced profitability in 2019 compared to 2018 were due to extra
start-up  costs being  incurred as  a result  of working  with new  products for
customers  in  the  door  core  and  display  board  segment,  as  well  as  the
aforementioned increase in energy costs due to leakage in one of our driers.

FORECAST AND DEVELOPMENT

Nordic Fibreboard Ltd

In  Fibreboard, we are pushing for sales  of our various applications which have
more global reach than our traditional sales of windboards and insulation boards
sold  mainly  in  our  traditional  markets  of Finland, Russia and Estonia. The
industrial  segment  offers  more  potential  as  customers  are  becoming  more
conscious  of using environmentally friendly materials, such as our fibreboards.
We see further upside potential in sales growth of display boards, especially in
the dynamic Asian market.

Pärnu Riverside Development

We  will continue  to manage  and develop  the property  on Suur-Jõe Street 48,
Pärnu.
