Harju Elekter kontserni majandustulemused, 1-12/2022

Message

Harju  Elektri neljandat kvartalit ja aastat ilmestab rekordiline müügitulu, mis
kasvas  eelnevate perioodide võrdluses  ligi 15%. Aastane müügitulu 175,3 (2021:
152,8) miljonit  eurot ületab eelmisel aastal saavutatud kontserni käiberekordi.
Müügimahtude kasvu on toetanud püsivad kliendisuhted, mis põhinevad pikaajalisel
usaldusväärsel  koostööl. Keerulise  kriisiaasta lõpuks  tuli siiski vastu võtta
aasta  lõikes ajaloo esimene kahjum. Majandustulemusi õnnestus teisel poolaastal
parandada,  kuid hoolimata  pingutustest tuli  teha ühekordseid märkimisväärseid
reserve  ja  mahakandmisi,  mis  ei  võimaldanud  kasumit saavutada. Ühekordsete
kuludeta  oleks viimase kvartali  ärikasum olnud 0,4 (2021  IV kv: 0,9) ja teise
poolaasta ärikasum 2,5 (2021 II poolaasta: 2,0) miljonit eurot.

2023. aastaks oleme ladunud tugeva vundamendi ning jätkame ühtsena toimiva Harju
Elekter  kontserni  loomist.  Meil  on  kaasaegsed tehased ning nende sisseseade
Eestis,  Soomes, Leedus  ja Rootsis.  Västeråsis valmis  aasta lõpus uus 6300 m²
suurune  tootmishoone,  mis  on  värskeimaks  täienduseks meie tööstuskinnisvara
portfellis.  Kaasaegse  tehase  valmimisega  otsustasime  Rootsi  tütarettevõtte
erinevad  üksused koondada Västeråsi, et tagada kokkuhoid ning ühtsem ja tugevam
kohalik üksus.

Kontsernil  on hea likviidsus ja  kapitaliseeritus ning tugev juhtimisstruktuur.
Aasta  viimases kvartalis saime paika  ekspertidest koosneva kontserni juhtkonna
ning  alustasime ettevõtete tsentraalsemat juhtimist eelkõige finantsjuhtimises-
kontrollis,    tootmises-tarneahelas   ja   müügis-turunduses.   Harju   Elektri
strateegia,   mis  on  integreeritud  jätkusuutlikkuse  eesmärkidega,  keskendub
järgnevatel  aastatel tööstustoodangu ja projektide müügimahtude ja kasumlikkuse
kasvule.

Müügitulu ja finantstulemused

Harju  Elekter teenis  aruandekvartalis müügitulu  50,0 (2021 IV  kv: 43,6) ning
aruandeaastas 175,3 (2021: 152,8) miljonit eurot. Võrreldavate perioodide suhtes
oli kvartali ja aasta müügitulu kasv 14,7% ja 14,8%. Valdava osa aruandekvartali
konsolideeritud   müügitulu  kasvust  andis  madalpingeseadmete,  alajaamade  ja
elektriautolaadijate müügi suurenemine.

Kontserni äritegevuse kulud olid aruandekvartalis kokku 51,9 (2021 IV kv: 42,8)
ning    aruandeaastal    179,8 (2021:   149,8) miljonit   eurot.   Valdava   osa
äritegevuskulude  tõusust andis müüdud toodete ja teenuste kulude kasv kvartalis
22,1% ja aastaga 20,9%. Müüdud toodete ja teenuste kulude kasv ületas neljandate
kvartalite ja aastate võrdluses müügitulu kasvutempot 7,4 ja 6,1 protsendipunkti
võrra.

Turustuskulud   kasvasid  kvartalite  võrdluses  0,2 miljoni  võrra  1,4 miljoni
euroni,  moodustades kontserni  äritegevuse kuludest  2,8% ja müügitulust 2,9%.

üldhalduskulud  11,1 (2021: 9,7) miljonit eurot. Aruandeaasta üldhalduskuludesse
arvestati   Energo   Veritas   OÜ  firmaväärtuse  allahindlus  0,4 miljoni  euro
väärtuses, mis mõjutas ka aastast põhivarade kulumit.

Kvartalite  võrdluses  kasvasid  tööjõukulud  8,7%, ulatudes 9,1 miljoni euroni.
Aastate  võrdluses kasvasid  tööjõukulud 3,8 miljoni  võrra, olles 34,4 miljonit
eurot.  Valdava  osa  tööjõukulude  ja  keskmise töötasu kasvust andis personali
juurdekasv ning kõikidel turgudel tööjõupuudusest tingitud palgasurve.

Neljanda  kvartali  brutokasum  oli  2517 (2021  IV  kv:  4703) tuhat  eurot  ja
brutokasumi  marginaaliks kujunes 5,0% (2021 IV kv: 10,8%). Ärikahjum (EBIT) oli
-2063 (2021 IV kv: ärikasum 853) tuhat eurot. Neljanda kvartali ärirentaabluseks

kv:  puhaskasum  894) tuhat  eurot,  millest  emaettevõtte omanike osa moodustas
-2520  (2021  IV  kv:  888) tuhat  eurot.  Puhaskahjum aktsia kohta oli viimases
kvartalis  -0,14  (2021  IV  kv:  puhaskasum  aktsia kohta 0,05) eurot. Neljanda
kvartali  tulemust mõjutas  enim ühekordse  kuluna varude allahindlus 1,0 miljon
eurot  ning eraldise suurendamine kahjumlike  lepingute katteks 1,5 miljoni euro
võrra.   2022. aasta   brutokasum   oli  12 269 (2021:  17 880) tuhat  eurot  ja
brutokasumi  marginaal 7,0% (2021:  11,7%). Keeruline aasta  tõi Harju Elektrile
esmakordse  ärikahjumi  (EBIT)  -4546  (2021:  ärikasum  3202) tuhat  eurot ning
puhaskahjumi -5567 (2021: puhaskasum 2610) tuhat eurot. Puhaskahjum aktsia kohta
oli -0,31 (2021: puhaskasum aktsia kohta 0,15) eurot.

Põhitegevusala ja turud

Kontserni   põhitegevusala,   tootmine,   moodustas   kontserni  aruandekvartali
müügitulust  92,5% ja  2022. aasta  müügitulust 89,9%. Tootmissegmendi müügitulu
kasvas  aruandekvartalis 22,7% ja aastaga  18,0%, olles vastavalt 46,2 ja 157,6
miljonit eurot.

Müük Eesti turule oli neljandas kvartalis 7,6 (2021 IV kv: 6,5) ja aruandeaastas
30,3 (2021:   26,0) miljonit   eurot,  moodustades  konsolideeritud  müügitulust
vastavalt   15,2% ja  17,3% (2021  IV  kv  ja  12k: 15,0% ja  17,0%). Kasv  tuli
peamiselt alajaamade ning kaablijaotuskappide müügimahu suurenemisest.

Aruandekvartalis  teeniti  müügitulu  Soome  turult  18,7% enam kui aasta varem,
kokku  21,3 miljonit  eurot.  2022. aastal  teeniti  81,8 (2021:  70,9) miljonit
eurot,  kasvades  põhiturgude  võrdluses  rahalises  väärtuses  enim.  Kontserni
suurimale   turule   müüdi   aruandekvartalis   42,5% (2021   IV  kv:  41,1%) ja
aruandeaasta jooksul 46,7% (2021: 46,4%) Harju Elektri toodetest ja teenustest.

Müük  Rootsi turule  langes neljandate  kvartalite võrdluses  31,8% ning aastate
võrdluses   17,3%, olles  vastavalt  7,0 ja  22,8 miljonit  eurot.  Rootsi  turu
võrdlusbaas  oli kõrge, kuna aasta varem oli Rootsi tütarettevõttel tavapärasest
rohkem pooleliolevaid projekte kohalikul turul. Rootsi moodustas aruandekvartali
konsolideeritud müügitulust 14,2% (2021 IV kv: 23,8%) ja 2022. aasta müügitulust
13,0% (2021: 18,1%).

Neljanda  kvartali müügitulu Norra turule kahekordistus võrreldes aasta varasema
tulemusega,  olles 8,9 (2021  IV kv:  4,2) miljoni eurot.  2022. aastal teenitud
müügitulu  Norra turult oli 21,8 miljonit eurot,  mis on 65,4% enam kui eelneval
aastal.  Müügitulu kasv mõlemas perioodis  on tingitud madalast laevandussektori
tellimusmahust    võrdlusperioodil.   Norra   turg   moodustas   aruandekvartali
konsolideeritud müügitulust 17,8% (2021 IV kv: 9,7%) ja aasta müügitulust 12,4%
(2021: 8,6%).

maa  ja hoone hinnaks kujunes  kokku 10,5 miljonit eurot. Eelnevatel kvartalitel
suunati   valdav   osa  aruandeperioodi  investeeringutest  Allika  Tööstuspargi
tootmis- ja laoruumide kompleksi Laohotell III ehituse lõpetamisse, mis tänaseks
on  rentnikega täidetud. Lisaks investeeriti tootmistehnoloogilisse põhivarasse,
tootmis-  ja protsessijuhtimissüsteemidesse, hoonete  renoveerimisse ning Soomes
kinnistu soetamisse.

Kontserni   pikaajaliste   finantsinvesteeringute  väärtus  oli  aruandekuupäeva
seisuga  kokku  23,7 (31.12.21:  25,2) miljonit  eurot.  Harju Elekter suurendas
aruandeperioodil  0,2 miljoni  euro  võrra  osalust  tehnoloogiaettevõttes  IGL-

Title

Harju Elekter Group financial results, 1-12/2022

Message

The  fourth quarter  and year  of Harju  Elekter are  marked by record revenues,
increasing  by almost 15% compared to previous periods. Annual revenue of 175.3
(2021:  152.8) million euros exceeds  the Group's turnover  record achieved last
year.  The  growth  in  sales  volumes  has been supported by sustained customer
relationships  based on long-term reliable cooperation. However, by the end of a
difficult  crisis year, the first loss in company history had to be absorbed. We
managed  to improve the  financial results in  the second half  of the year, but
despite  our efforts,  we had  to make  one-time significant reserves and write-
offs,  which did  not allow  us to  make a  profit. Without  one-time costs, the
operating profit for the last quarter would have been 0.4 (2021 Q4: 0.9) and the
second  half operating  profit would  have been  2.5 (2021 II half: 2.0) million
euros.

We  have laid a solid foundation for  2023 and will continue with the process of
creating  a cohesively functioning Harju Elekter Group. We have modern factories
and  equipment in  Estonia, Finland,  Lithuania, and  Sweden. In  Västerås a new
production  building of 6,300 m² was completed at  the end of the year, which is
the latest addition to our industrial real estate portfolio. With the completion
of  our  modern  factory,  we  decided  to  consolidate the various units of our
Swedish  subsidiary  in  Västerås,  to  ensure  savings  and a more cohesive and
stronger local unit.

The  Group has good liquidity and capitalisation, as well as a strong governance
structure.  In the last quarter  of the year, we  established a group management
team  comprised  of  experts  and  began  the  more  centralised  management  of
companies,  especially in financial management-control, production-supply chain,
and   sales-marketing.  Harju  Elekter's  strategy,  which  is  integrated  with
sustainability   goals,   will   focus  on  increasing  the  sales  volumes  and
profitability of industrial production and projects in the coming years.

Revenue and financial results

Harju  Elekter  earned  revenue  of  50.0 (2021  Q4:  43.6) million euros in the
reporting  quarter  and  175.3 (2021:  152.8) million  in  the  reporting  year.
Compared  to the comparable periods, the quarterly and annual revenue growth was
14.7% and  14.8%. The majority  of the  increase in  consolidated revenue in the
reporting  quarter was  due to  the increase  in sales of low-voltage equipment,
substations and electric car chargers.

The  Group's operating expenses  totalled 51.9 (2021 Q4:  42.8) million euros in
the reporting quarter and 179.8 (2021: 149.8) million in the reporting year. The
majority  of the increase in  operating expenses was due  to the increase in the
cost  of sales  respectively, 22.1% in  the quarter  and 20.9% in  the year. The
growth  rate of costs  of sales exceeded  the growth rate  of revenue by 7.4 and
6.1 percentage  points, respectively, in  the comparison of  the fourth quarters
and years.

Distribution costs increased by 0.2 million to 1.4 million euros compared to the
fourth quarter the year before, making up 2.8% of the Group's operating expenses
and  2.9% of revenue. Administrative expenses  increased by 0.4 million euros to
3.0 million euros year-on-year, making up 5.8% of the Group's operating expenses
and  6.1% of the revenue. The total  distribution costs for 2022 were 5.6 (2021:
5.3) and  general administration costs were  11.1 (2021: 9.7) million euros. The
write-down  of the  goodwill of  Energo Veritas  OÜ in  the value of 0.4 million
euros  was included in the administrative  expenses of the financial year, which
also affected the annual depreciation of non-current assets.

In  a quarterly  comparison, labour  costs increased  by 8.7%, amounting to 9.1
million  euros.  In  yearly  comparison,  labour costs increased by 3.8 million,
being  34.4 million euros. A majority of the  growth in labour costs and average
wages  was attributed to the significant increase  in staff and to wage pressure
due to labour shortages in all markets.

The  gross profit  for the  fourth quarter  was 2,517 (2021  Q4: 4,703) thousand
euros  and the  gross profit  margin was  5.0% (2021 Q4:  10.8%). Operating loss
(EBIT)  was -2,063 (2021 Q4: operating profit 853) thousand euros. The operating
margin  of the fourth  quarter was -4.1%  (2021 Q4: 2.0%). The  net loss for the
reporting  quarter was -2,482 (2021 Q4: net profit 894) thousand euros, of which
the share of the owners of the parent company was -2,520 (2021 Q4: 888) thousand
euros. Net loss per share in the last quarter was -0.14 (2021 Q4: net profit per
share  0.05) euros. The result of the fourth quarter was most affected by a one-
time expense of 1.0 million euros of inventory write-down and an increase of the
provision to cover unprofitable contracts by 1.5 million euros. The gross profit
for  2022 was 12,269 (2021: 17,880) thousand  euros and the  gross profit margin
was  7.0% (2021:  11.7%). The  difficult  year  brought  Harju  Elekter  a first
operating loss (EBIT) of -4,546 (2021: operating profit 3,202) and a net loss of
-5,567  (2021: net  profit 2,610) thousand  euros. Net  loss per share was -0.31
(2021: net profit per share 0.15) euros.

Core business and markets

The  production segment accounted  for 92.5% of the  revenue for the quarter and
89.9% of  the revenue for 2022. The revenue  of the production segment increased
by  22.7% in the reporting quarter and  by 18.0% during the year, being 46.2 and
157.6 million euros, respectively.

Sales to the Estonian market was 7.6 (2021 Q4: 6.5) in the reporting quarter and
30.3 (2021:  26.0) million  euros  in  the  reporting  year, making up 15.2% and
17.3% of  the  consolidated  revenue,  respectively  (2021 Q4 and 12M: 15.0% and
17.0%). The  growth  came  mainly  from  the  increase  in  the  sales volume of
substations and cable distribution cabinets.

In  the reporting quarter,  revenue from the  Finnish market was 18.7% more than
the  year before, totaling 21.3 million  euros. In 2022, with 81.8 (2021: 70.9)
million  euros  earned,  the  Finnish  market  grew  the  most in monetary value
compared  to the main markets. In the reporting quarter, 42.5% (2021 Q4: 41.1%)
and  within the reporting year 46.7% (2021: 46.4%) of Harju Elekter products and
services were sold to the Group's largest market.

Sales  to  the  Swedish  market  decreased  by  31.8% compared  to the reporting
quarters  and  by  17.3% compared  to  twelve months, being 7.0 and 22.8 million
euros,  respectively.  The  benchmark  for  the  Swedish market was high, as the
Swedish  subsidiary had more projects underway than usual in the local market in
the  same  period  last  year.  Sweden  accounted  14.2% (2021 Q4: 23.8%) of the
consolidated  revenue of  the reporting  quarter and  13.0% (2021: 18.1%) of the
year 2022 revenue.

The  fourth quarter's revenue from the  Norwegian market doubled compared to the
previous year, amounting to 8.9 (2021 Q4: 4.2) million euros. The revenue earned
in  2022 from the Norwegian  market was 21.8 million  euros, which is 65.4% more
than  the previous year. The  increase in revenue in  both periods is due to the
low  order volume of the shipping sector in the comparison period. The Norwegian
market  accounted for 17.8% (2021  Q4: 9.7%) of the  consolidated revenue of the
reporting quarter and 12.4% (2021: 8.6%) of the annual revenue.

Investments

During  the reporting  period, the  Group invested  a total of 15.2 (2021: 7.7)
million  euros  in  non-current  assets,  incl  1.8 (2021: 1.3) million euros in
investment  properties, 12.9 (2021:  5.7) million euros  in property, plant, and
equipment  and 0.5 (2021: 0.7) million  euros in intangible  assets. In the last
quarter,  the Swedish subsidiary acquired a  real estate company, LC Development
Fastigheter  17 AB, which was  created specifically for  the construction of the
Västerås factory. The total acquisition price of the land and building was 10.5
million  euros.  During  the  previous  quarters,  most  of the investments were
directed  to  the  construction  of  the  Laohotell III production and warehouse
complex,  in the Allika Industrial Park, which  today is filled with tenants. In
addition,  investments were made in  production technology equipment, production
and  process management  systems, renovating  buildings and  a plot  of land was

(31.12.21: 25.2) million euros as of the reporting date. Harju Elekter increased
its  holding in the  technology company IGL-Technologies  Oy from 5.5% to 10% by
