TEGEVUSARUANNE 2007. AASTA 4. KVARTALI MAJANDUSTULEMUSED 2007 Kokkuvõte 2007. aastal kasvas Ettevõtte müügitulu 820,8 miljoni kroonini, mis on 18,4%-line kasv võrreldes 2006. aastaga. Veemüügi ja reoveeteenuse tulu kasvas 0,3%. Müük teeninduspiirkonna eraklientidele kasvas 10,5%, müük teeninduspiirkonna juriidilistele klientidele 7,5%, ja müük väljaspool teeninduspiirkonda 32,2%, ulatudes 2,46 milj. m³ või 17,7 miljoni kroonini. Ettevõtte kasum enne tulumaksu oli 333,1 miljonit krooni, mis on 2006. aastaga võrreldes 12,9% enam. Ettevõte investeeris 285,9 miljonit krooni, millest 143,7 miljonit krooni investeeriti võrkude laiendamiseks ja arendamiseks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | miljon EEK | 4 kv | 4 kv |Muutus | 12 kuud | 12 kuud | Muutus | | | 2007 | 2006 | | 2007 | 2006 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Müügitulu | 270,3 | 207,5 | 30,3% | 820,8 | 693,2 | 18,4% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Põhitegevuse tulud | 165,7 | 148,9 | 11,3% | 648,3 | 589,2 | 10,0% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Põhitegevusega seotud | 104,6 | 58,6 | 78,5% | 172,4 | 104,0 | 65,7% | | muud tulud | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brutokasum | 111,6 | 93,6 | 19,3% | 445,9 | 375,6 | 18,7% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Brutokasumi marginaal % | 41,3% | 45,1% | -8,5% | 54,3% | 54,2% | 0,3% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ärikasum | 93,4 | 74,4 | 25,4% | 377,4 | 337,9 | 11,7% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ärikasumi marginaal % | 34,5% | 35,9% | -3,7% | 46,0% | 48,7% | -5,7% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Kasum enne | 82,0 | 63,1 | 29,9% | 333,1 | 294,9 | 12,9% | | tulumaksustamist | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Maksustamiseelse kasumi | 30,3% | 30,4% | -0,3% | 40,6% | 42,5% | -4,6% | | marginaal % | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Puhaskasum | 82,0 | 63,1 | 29,9% | 277,8 | 248,0 | 12,0% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Vara puhasrentaablus % | 3,3% | 2,6% | 28,3% | 11,4% | 10,3% | 10,6% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Kohustuste osatähtsus | 51,8% | 53,4% | -3,0% | 51,8% | 53,4% | -3,0% | | koguvarast | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brutokasumi marginaal - brutokasum / müügitulu Ärikasumi marginaal - ärikasum / müügitulu Maksustamiseelse kasumi marginaal - kasum enne tulumaksustamist / müügitulu Vara puhasrentaablus - puhaskasum / vara kokku Kohustuste osatähtsus koguvarast - kohustused kokku / vara kokku Kasumiaruanne 4. kvartal 2007 Müügitulud 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kasvas Ettevõtte tulu 270,3 miljoni kroonini, mis on 30,3% suurune kasv võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga. Ettevõtte tulud põhitegevusest olid 165,7 miljonit krooni. Põhitegevuse tulu koosneb peamiselt era- ja juriidilistele klientidele osutatud veemüügi ning reoveeteenuse tulust nii teeninduspiirkonnas kui väljaspool. Samuti sisaldab see Tallinna linnalt saadavat sademetevee kogumise süsteemide käigushoidmise ja hoolduse tasu. Tulud veemüügist ja reoveeteenustest kasvasid võrreldes eelmise aasta 4. kvartaliga 9,5% võrra 151,8 miljoni kroonini seoses 10,8% suuruse tariifitõusuga alates 1. jaanuarist 2007. Sektori lõikes jagunes kasv järgnevalt: Müük eraklientidele kasvas 10,4% võrra 80,6 miljoni kroonini. Müük juriidilistele klientidele teeninduspiirkonnas kasvas 7,9% võrra 63,6 miljoni kroonini. Müük juriidilistele klientidele väljaspool teeninduspiirkonda (peamiselt ümbritsevatele omavalitsustele pakutav reovee puhastamise teenus) kasvas 24,7% ulatudes 711 000 m³ ehk 4,9 miljoni kroonini. Saadud ülereostustasu oli 0,1 miljonit krooni väiksem, kui 2006. aasta samal perioodil. 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis püsisid eraklientide müügimahud enam-vähem samal tasemel võrreldes 2006. aastaga. 2007 aastal müüdud mahud on langenud 0,3% või 90 tuhat m3, peamiselt 2007.a. vihmase suve tõttu (võrreldes 2006.a), mis vähendas oluliselt kastmisvee hulka. Müügimahtude alanemine on saadud tagasi sademevee ärajuhtimise ning tuletõrjevee teenuse tulu suurenemise läbi (+3 miljonit krooni lisamüüki, mis on alljärgnevalt täpsustatud) kuna vihmase hooaja tõttu kasvas ka sademevee teenuse käive. Müük juriidilistele klientidele teeninduspiirkonnas langes võrreldes 2006. aasta 4. kvartaliga mitme teguri tõttu. Suur osa kaotatud müügimahust tuleneb ettevõtete siirdumisel Tallinna äärelaladele tänu madalamatele kinnisvarahindadele. Enamik neist klientidest on suudetud tagasi võita ümberkaudsete valdadega sõlmitud hulgivarustuslepingute kaudu, kuid mitte alati. Näiteks 2007. aasta 2. kvartalis viis üks Ettevõtte suurimaid juriidilisi kliente oma asutuse teenusepiirkonnast välja, mille tõttu vähenes ainuüksi 4. kvartalis müügimaht 68 000 m3 võrra. Oleme järeldanud, et välised tegurid nagu üleüldine majanduslik seis ning ärevus kinnisvarasektoris, mis on mõjutanud negatiivselt kogu majandust on mõjutanud ka Ettevõtte müüki juriidilistele klientidele. Statistika andmetel on turistide sissevool Tallinnasse alates maist aeglustunud, ületades küll 2005 aasta taseme aga jäädes alla 2006 aasta taseme. Lisaks sellele tundub, et kinnisvaraturg on jõudnud stagnatsiooni faasi. Hoolimata sellest, et uute korterite ning ärihoonete ehitus on jätkuvalt kasvamas, jääb suur osa uutest hoonetest tühjaks kuna nii juriidilised kliendid kui ka elamispinda vajavad eraisikud ostavad kinnisvara pigem Tallinna äärealadele, kus kinnisvarahinnad on taskukohasemad. See trend kajastub ka Ettevõtte müüginumbrites ümbritsevatele aladele, mis on kasvanud 24,7% võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga. 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kasvas sademetevee teenuse ja tuletõrjehüdrantide süsteemide käigushoidmise ja hoolduse tasu 36,8% võrra 11,4 miljoni kroonini võrreldes 2006. aasta sama perioodiga. See on kooskõlas lepingu nõuete ja sätetega, mille kohaselt sademetevee ja tuletõrjehüdrantide kulud arveldatakse tegelike kulude ja töödeldud mahtude alusel. See on lepingujärgselt kokkulepitud aastani 2020. Põhitegevusega seotud muud tulud olid 104,6 miljonit krooni (peamiselt liitumised ning sademetevee torustiku ehitus), mis on 46 miljonit krooni enam võrreldes 2006. aasta 4. kvartaliga. Antud rida oleneb ehituste valmimise järgust ja tulud kajastatakse siis kui on kindel et antud tulud tasumisele kuuluvad. Müüdud toodete ja teenuste kulu ja brutokasumi marginaal Põhitegevusega seotud müüdud toodete ja teenuste kulu oli 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis 59,5 miljonit krooni, so 1,3 miljonit krooni ehk 2,1% enam kui eelmise aasta samal perioodil. 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis ei ole Ettevõte neljandat järjestikust kvartalit ületanud ühtegi saastenormi, mistõttu vähenesid keskkonnamaksud neljandas kvartalis 1,7 miljoni krooni võrra, osaliselt tasandatud maksumäära tõusuga 20% võrra. 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kemikaalikulud vähenesid võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga kuigi puhastatud reovee hulk suurenes. Kemikaalikulude vähenemise põhiliseks põhjuseks on kõikumine metanooli hinnas, mis oli eriti kõrge 2006. aasta neljandas kvartalis. Kvartali kemikaalikulud olid 5,2 miljonit krooni, mis on 14,5% enam kui 2006. aasta samal perioodil. Elektrikulud kasvasid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga 0,2 miljoni krooni ehk 3,7% võrra kõrgema elektrihinna ning puhastatud reovee hulga tõttu. Palgad kasvasid 2,9 miljoni krooni ehk 23% võrra, osaliselt ettevõttes järsult tõusvate palkade ning konkurentsitingimuste tõttu tööjõuturul, kuid ka 4. kvartalis arvestatud tulemustasu ja puhkusereservi korrigeerimiste tõttu. Palgatõus kõigis Ettevõtte valdkondades on siiani madalam Eesti keskmisest palgatõusust, mis viimaste andmete põhjal on enam kui 20% aasta baasil. Muud müüdud toodete ja teenuste kulud kasvasid 0,4 miljoni krooni ehk 4,3% võrra. 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kasvasid muud kulud mitmete tugiteenuste (nt transport ja turvateenused) kulude suurenemise tõttu, mis tulenes tööjõukulude märkimisväärsest kasvust Tallinnas. Ülaltoodud mõjude tulemusena oli 2007.aasta 4. kvartalis ettevõtte brutokasum 111,6 miljonit krooni, mis on 18 miljoni krooni või 19,3% võrra suurem, kui 2006.aasta 4. kvartali 93,6 miljoni krooni suurune brutokasum. Ärikulud ja ärikasumi marginaal Turustuskulud kasvasid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis võrrelduna 2006. aasta 4. kvartaliga 1,4 miljoni krooni võrra 3,8 miljoni kroonini. Seda mõjutas peamiselt üldiselt tõusnud palgatase, kuid siin grupis mõjutab oluliselt 2007. aasta juuli alguses moodustatud ettevõtte uus äriüksus, mis keskendub uue äri arendamisele. Turustuskulude amortisatsiooni kasv on seotud kliendiinfosüsteemi (KLIF) tööle rakendamise viimase etapi lõpetamisega. 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kasvasid üldhalduskulud 0,1 miljon krooni 15,3 miljoni kroonini palgakulude ning muude üldhalduskulude suurenemise tulemusena. Ligikaudu 0,5 miljonit krooni sellest moodustas üleminek arvutite liisimisele- selle võrra on alanenud ka arvestatav kulum. Kulumi alanemist täiendab ka vanade arveldustega seotud moodulite väljavahetamine uute vastu, mis on liigitatud turustuskuluks. Tööjõukulud olid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis 23,4 miljonit krooni, mis on 5,3 miljonit krooni või 29% enam, kui 2006. aasta samal perioodil ning mis on 2006. aasta lõpus üle kogu Ettevõtte läbi viidud palkade korrigeerimise tulemus. Muud äritulud/kulud andsid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kokku tulu 0,9 miljonit krooni võrreldes 1,5 miljoni kroonise kuluga 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis, põhiliselt tulenedes 2 miljonilisest kasumist väikese kinnisvara müügi eest. Ülaltoodud mõjude tulemusena oli ettevõtte ärikasum 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis 93,4 miljonit krooni, mis on 19 miljonit krooni enam kui 74,4 miljoni krooni suurune ärikasum 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis. Finantskulud Ettevõtte neto finantskulud olid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis 11,4 miljonit krooni, mis on 0,1 miljoni krooni ehk 0,8% võrra enam kui 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis. Võrrelduna 2006. aasta 4. kvartaliga on Ettevõtte intressikulud tõusnud 14,6% võrra. See on tingitud asjaolust, et osa Ettevõtte laenudest on seotud 6 kuu EURIBORi määraga, mis on tõusnud 4,686%ni 2007. aasta 4. kvartaliks võrreldes 3,736%ga 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis. Intressikulude tõusu katab osaliselt 2007. aasta 4. kvartalil kasvanud finantstulu, mis on Ettevõtte efektiivsema rahade juhtimise, tugeva rahalise seisu ja suurenenud intressimäärade tulemus. Maksustamiseelne kasum Ettevõtte maksustamiseelne kasum oli 2007. aasta neljandas kvartalis 82 miljonit krooni, so 18,9 miljonit krooni enam kui 63,1 miljoni kroonine maksustamiseelne kasum 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis. 2007. aasta 12 kuu tulemused 2007. aasta kaheteist kuuga kasvas Ettevõtte kogu müügitulu 820,8 miljoni kroonini, mis on 18,4%-line kasv võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga. Ettevõtte tulud põhitegevusest olid 648,3 miljonit krooni. Veemüügi ja reoveeteenuse tulu oli 599,6 miljonit krooni, mis on 9,2% ning 50,6 miljoni krooni võrra enam, kui 2006.aastal. Põhitegevusega seotud muud tulud (põhiliselt rajamistasud ja sadevee tulud) olid kokku 172,4 miljonit krooni 2007. aastal. Ettevõtte maksustamiseelne kasum oli 2007. aasta kaheteist kuuga 333,1 miljonit krooni, so 38,2 miljonit krooni enam kui 294,9 miljoni kroonine maksustamiseelne kasum 2006. aastal. 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu tulemustele avaldasid mõju kaks ühekordse iseloomuga asjaolu: Keskkonnaministeeriumi lõplik heakskiit lämmastikuprojekti edukusele, mille tulemusena vabastati 13,3 miljoni kroonine saastetasu provisjon esimeses kvartalis, ning 2 miljoni suurune kasum väikese kinnisvara müügist neljandas kvartalis. 2006. aasta kaheteist kuu tulemustele avaldas mõju 24,1 miljoni krooni eest Paljasaare maamüük. Nende ühekordsete mõjurite elimineerimisel kasvas Ettevõtte 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu maksustamiseelne kasum võrreldes eelmise aastaga 47 miljoni krooni ehk 17,3% võrra 317,8 miljoni kroonini. Bilanss 2007.aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul investeeris ettevõte põhivarasse 285,9 miljonit krooni. Lõpetamata-, materiaalne- ja immateriaalne põhivara oli 2007. aasta 31. detsembri seisuga 2.185 miljonit krooni. Käibevara suurenes aasta kaheteist kuuga 43,2 miljoni krooni võrra 373,6 miljoni kroonini, mis tuleneb peamiselt 2008..a. I kvartalis tasumisele kuuluvate ostjate vastu üles võetud nõuete kasvamisest. Lühiajalised kohustused suurenesid kaheteist kuu jooksul 46,7 miljoni krooni võrra 199,7 miljoni kroonini. See tulenes peamiselt pikaajaliste laenukohustuste lühiajalise osa tõstmisest pikaajaliste kohustuste alt lühiajaliste kohustuste alla. Ettevõte hoiab jätkuvalt oma finantsvõimendust sihiks võetud 50-60% tasemel. 2007. aasta 31. detsembri seisuga oli kohustuste osakaal varast 51,8%. Pikaajalised kohustused olid 2007. aasta detsembri lõpu seisuga 1.125,2 miljonit krooni, mis koosnes peaaegu täielikult kahe pikaajalise pangalaenu jäägist. Rahakäive 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul oli Ettevõtte äritegevuse rahakäive 333,7 miljonit krooni, mis on 13,1 miljonit krooni enam kui 2006. aasta samal perioodil. Ärikasum on jätkuvalt peamine tegur ettevõtte äritegevuse rahakäibe kasvus. 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu investeerimistegevuse raha väljavool oli 152,9 miljonit krooni, so 79,8 miljonit krooni enam kui 2006. aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul. Selle peamiseks põhjuseks olid suured rajamistulu arved, mis kuuluvad maksmisele 2008 aasta esimeses kvartalis, kuid ka suurenenud investeerimismahud. Kaheteist kuu jooksul investeeris ettevõte 285,9 miljonit krooni - 213,9 miljonit krooni võrkude laiendamiseks ja parendamiseks, 46,2 miljonit krooni Paljassaare sade- ja reovee puhastusjaama uuendamiseks, 11,8 miljonit krooni vee kvaliteedi säilitamiseks (Ülemiste veepuhastusjaam ja toorvee kvaliteet) ja 13,4 miljonit krooni muid investeeringuid (IT, investeeringute väärtuse säilimine, veenäidikud jne). Raha väljavool finantstegevusest oli aasta esimese kaheteist kuu jooksul 251,8 miljonit krooni võrreldes eelmise aasta samal perioodil olnud 205,2 miljoni krooniga ning kajastab suurenenud dividendimakseid. Eelnevate tegurite mõjul oli raha väljavool 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul 71 miljonit krooni võrrelduna 42,3 miljoni krooni suuruse raha sissevooluga 2006. aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul. Raha ja raha ekvivalentide saldo oli 2007. aasta 31. detsembri seisuga 178,4 miljonit krooni. Töötajad 2007. aasta 4. kvartali lõpus töötas ettevõttes 312 töötajat, võrreldes 318 töötajaga 2006. aasta 4.kvartali lõpus. Dividendid ja aktsiahinna muutused 2006. aasta majandustulemuste põhjal kiitis Ettevõtte juhatus heaks maksta 196 010 000 krooni dividende. Sellest 10 000 krooni maksti B-aktsia omanikule ja 196 miljonit krooni, so 9,8 krooni aktsia kohta A-aktsia omanikele. Dividendid maksti välja 2007. aasta 15. juunil. 2007. aasta 31.detsembri seisuga olid üle 5%-list otseosalust omavad AS Tallinna Vesi aktsionärid: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | United Utilities (Tallinn) BV | 35.3% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | City of Tallinn | 34.7% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Nordea Bank Finland Plc clients account trading | 7.71% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Morgan Stanley + Co International Equity client | 6.81% | | account | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kvartali lõpus, 31. detsembril 2007, oli AS Tallinna Vesi akatsia sulgemishind 202,78 krooni (12.96 EUR), mis on 10,6% madalam võrreldes kvartali alguses olnud 226.88 EEK (14.50 EUR) ületades OMX Tallinn indeksit, mis langes kvartalis 17,5%. Põhitegevusega seotud arengud 2007. aastal 4. kvartalis kirjutati alla Tallinna linnaga sõlmitud Teenuslepingu muudatusele. Teenuslepingut pikendati 2020. aastani. Samuti fikseeriti K-koefitsient 2020. aastani - 2% aastatel 2009 kuni 2010 ning 0% aastatel 2011 kuni 2020. Lisainvesteeringuid (v.a. lepinguga kinnitatud hooldusinvesteeringud ning võrkude laienduse kava) ei saa Ettevõtte käest nõuda enne 2020. aastat. Vastavalt lepingule peavad võrkude laiendamise ehitused olema lõpetatud märtsiks 2011. Kompenseerimaks Ettevõttele ehitus- ja finantseerimiskulutusi, lisatakse alates 1. märtsist 2008 kuni 2017 aasta lõpuni eraisikute vee tariifile spetsiaalne arenduskomponent ning Tallinna linn kompenseerib sadevee torustike rajamiskulu igakuiselt kuni 2011. aasta lõpuni. Arenduskomponent kompenseeritakse tarbijatele Tallinna linna poolt otsese maksega Ettevõttele. Arenduskomponent on suurem ehitusperioodil (9,00 krooni m3 kohta kuni 31. detsembrini 2011 ja 6,10 krooni m3 kohta aastatel 2012 kuni 2017). 26. septembril kinnitas Tallinna linnavalitsus 2008. aasta vee- ja kanalisatsiooniteenuse baastariifi. Tariifi tõus saab olema oodatud tasemel, so 11,7%. Tööd Paljasaare uue mudatöötlushoone ehitusel lõppesid ning hoone anti lõplikult käiku 2007. aasta novembri alguses. Antud hoone võimaldab paremini ja tõhusamalt tegutseda ning parandada seadmete hooldamise võimalusi. See aitab omakorda parendada heitvee puhastamise ning mudatöötluse protsessi. Kompostimisväljakute ehitus lõpetati 2007. aasta 3. kvartalis ning on täies ulatuses kasutusele võetud. Ühtlasi jätkab Ettevõte keskkonnasõbralikku ning kulusid säästvat poliitikat muda prügilasse vedamise vältimise osas. Projekti kogukulu on üle 40 miljoni krooni. Kogu aasta vältel vastasid kõik heitvee proovid nõuetele ning seetõttu alandati ka keskkonnamakse 50% võrra. Eeskujulike puhastustulemuste tulemusel hoidis ettevõte 2007 aastal kokku 7,1 miljonit krooni. 3. kvartalis anti Ettevõttele üle OHSAS sertifikaat (tervis ja ohutus) ning ametlikult väljastati Ettevõttele OHSAS sertifikaat 26. oktoobril 2007.a. 3. kvartalis esitas Eesti Kaubanduskoda Ettevõtte kõige konkurentsivõimelisema teenindusettevõtte tiitlile ning tunnistati Ettevõte parimaks teenindusettevõtteks. Ka tarbijad tunnustavad teenuse parandamiseks tehtud tööd. Detsembris 2007 läbi viidud küsitluse põhjal tõusis tarbijate rahulolu indeks 73 pealt 2006. aastal 79 peale 2007. aastal.

Sales from the Company's main operating activities were 165.7 mln EEK. Sales in the main operating activity principally comprise of sales of water and treatment of wastewater to domestic and commercial customers within and outside of the service area, and fees received from the City of Tallinn for operating and maintaining the storm water system. Sales of water and wastewater treatment were 151.8 mln EEK, a 9.5% increase compared to the 4th quarter of 2006, resulting from the 10.8% increase in tariffs from 1 January 2007 for the Company's residential and commercial customers combined with the factors described below. Included within this amount were the following increases by sector: Sales to residential customers increased by 10.4% to 80.6 mln EEK. Sales to commercial customers within the service area increased by 7.9% to 63.6 mln EEK. Sales to commercial customers outside of the service area - primarily bulk volumes of wastewater treatment services provided to the surrounding municipalities - increased by 24.7% reaching 711 000 m3 or 4.9 mln EEK. Over pollution fees received were 0.1 mln EEK lower than in the 4th quarter of 2006. In the 4th quarter of 2007, the volumes sold to residential customers stayed at a similar level to that in 2006. Volumes sold in 2007 have dropped 0.3% or 90 thousand m3, mainly because of the rainy summer in 2007 (compared to 2006) when water used for gardening purposes reduced considerably. This loss of sales is more than recovered (+3 mln EEK extra sales as specified below) in the storm water disposal and fire hydrant services line, as due to the rainy year, the treatment volumes of storm water increased. The volumes sold to commercial customers inside the service area decreased compared to the relevant period in 2006 due to several factors combined. Most of the reduction in sales volumes in Tallinn is due to companies moving to the surrounding municipalities, attracted by cheaper real estate prices. Most of these customers are re-captured through the bulk-supply contracts signed with the surrounding municipalities, but not always. For example in the 2nd quarter of 2007, one of the Company's biggest industrial customers moved its facilities out of our area, resulting in a volume loss of 68 000 m3 in the 4th quarter only. We have recognized that the overall economic situation and the heat on the real estate market have also had a negative effect on the Company's commercial sales. Statistics show, that starting from May the tourist flow to Tallinn has slowed down, still exceeding 2005 level, but slightly below 2006. Also the real estate market seems to have reached a point of stagnation. Even though the number of new apartments and business buildings constructed in Tallinn has continued to increase, a large share of new buildings remain vacant as commercial customers as well as people in need of space are moving to surrounding areas due to more affordable real estate prices. This trend is also reflected in the Company's sales to surrounding areas, which has increased by 24.7% compared to the same period last year. The sales from the operation and maintenance of the stormwater and firehydrant system increased by 36.8% to 11.4 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. This is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract whereby the storm water and fire hydrant costs are invoiced based on actual costs and volumes treated. This is contractually agreed up to 2020. Sales revenues from other operating activities, mainly connections and storm water construction, totaled 104.6 mln EEK which is 46 mln EEK higher than in the 4th quarter of 2006. This line depends on construction completion and the revenue is recorded when it is probable that the revenues will flow to the company. Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin The cost of goods sold for the main operating activity was 59.5 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2007, an increase of 1.3 mln EEK or 2.1% from the equivalent period in 2006. In the 4th quarter of 2007 the Company has for the fourth successive quarter recorded zero failures in all pollution measures taken, and as a result the amount of pollution tax payable reduced by 1.7 mln EEK in quarter, partly balanced by increase in tax rates year on year by 20%. The chemical costs decreased although larger amount of wastewater was treated in the 4th quarter of 2007 compared to the 4th quarter of 2006. The decrease was mainly due to fluctuations in methanol price, which was extremely high in 4th quarter 2006. The chemical costs were 5.2 mln EEK, which represents a 14.5% decrease compared to the corresponding period in 2006. Electricity costs increased by 0.2 mln EEK or 3.7% due to higher electricity prices and the increased volume of wastewater treated in the 4th quarter of 2007 compared to the 4th quarter of 2006. Salaries expenses increased by 2.9 mln EEK or 23%, partly as a consequence of the highly competitive labour market and rapidly growing salaries, but the 4th quarter is also impacted by the annual bonuses and correction of the holiday reserve. Eliminating the 4th quarter exceptional items the salaries increase is still in all categories below the overall increase in average salaries in the Estonian market, which according to the latest statistics has increased by more than 20% year on year. Other cost of goods sold in the main operating activity increased by 0.4 mln EEK, or 4.3% year on year. In the 4th quarter other costs increased due to increased costs on a number of support services contracts, such as transport, security services, reflecting the significant increase in labour costs in Tallinn. As a result of all of the above the Company's gross profit for the 4th quarter of 2007 was 111.6 mln EEK, which represents an increase of 18 mln EEK, or 19.3%, compared to the gross profit of 93.6 mln EEK for the 4th quarter of 2006. Operating Costs and Operating Margin Marketing expenses increased by 1.4 mln EEK to 3.8 mln EEK during the 4th quarter of 2007 compared to the corresponding period in 2006. This is partly the result of the overall salary increases, but particularly in this group it is impacted by formation of the new business unit focusing on new business development in 2007. The increase in depreciation charges accounted within marketing expenses is due to the inclusion of the depreciation related to the completion of the last stage of implementation of the Customer Information and Billing system (KLIF). General administration expenses increased by 0.1 mln EEK to 15.3 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2007 as a consequence of an increase in salaries as described above. The other general administration expenses include approximately 0.5 mln EEK rental cost of computers resulting from switching from owning the computers into the lease contracts- a corresponding reduction can be found in the depreciation charge. . A switch from old billing related modules to new software, recorded within marketing expenses complements the reduction in this line. Included within the above cost categories are staff costs. These totaled 23.4 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2007, which is a 5.3 mln EEK or 29% increase compared to the same period in 2006, which as mentioned earlier was due to exceptional items and the wide revision of salaries at end of 2006. Other net income/expenses totaled an income of 0.9 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2007 compared to a cost of 1.5 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2006, mainly because of a 2 mln EEK profit from the sale of one small plot. As a result of all of the above the Company's operating profit for the 4th quarter of 2007 was 93.4 mln EEK, an increase of 19 mln EEK compared to an operating profit of 74.4 mln EEK achieved in the 4th quarter of 2006. Financial expenses Net Financial expenses were 11.4 mln EEK in the 4th quarter of 2007, which is an increase of 0.1 mln EEK or 0.8% compared to the 4th quarter of 2006. The Company's interest costs have increased by 14.6% compared to the 4th quarter of 2006. This is due to the fact that half of the Company's loans are connected to the 6 month Euribor rate, which was 4.686% in the 4th quarter of 2007 compared to 3.736% in the 4th quarter of 2006. The increase in interest expenses is partially offset by an increase in financial income earned during the 4th quarter of 2007, as a result of a more favourable cash position and increasing interest rates. Profit Before Tax The Company's profit before taxes for the 4th quarter of 2007 was 82 mln EEK, which is 18.9 mln EEK higher than the profit before taxes of 63.1 mln EEK for the 4th quarter of 2006. Results for the twelve months of 2007 During the twelve months of 2007 the Company's total sales increased, year on year, by 18.4% to 820.8 mln EEK. Sales from the Company's main operating activities were 648.3 mln EEK. Sales of water and wastewater services were 599.6 mln EEK, a 9.2% increase worth of 50.6 mln EEK compared to the twelve months of 2006. The revenues from other operating activities, mainly connections and storm water construction, totaled 172.4 mln EEK in 2007. The Company's profit before taxes for the twelve months of 2007 was 333.1 mln EEK, which is 38.2 mln EEK higher than the profit before taxes of 294.9 mln EEK in 2006. The results for the twelve months of 2007 were impacted by 2 one-offs, first by the fact that the Ministry of Environment gave final approval to the success of the nitrogen project, which resulted in the release of a provision worth 13.3 mln EEK for environmental taxes in the 1st quarter and secondly by 2 mln EEK profit from sale of one small plot in the 4th quarter. The results for the twelve months of 2006 were impacted by the sale of excess land in Paljassaare worth 24.1 mln EEK. When eliminating these one-offs, the underlying profit before tax has increased by 47 mln EEK to 317.8 mln EEK i.e. 17.3% year-on-year. Balance sheet During the twelve months of 2007 the Company invested 285.9 mln EEK into fixed assets. Non-current assets were 2,185 mln EEK at 31 December 2007. Current assets increased by 43.2 mln EEK to 373.6 mln EEK in the twelve months of the year, which was largely attributable to an increase in customer receivables payable in 1st quarter 2008. Current liabilities increased by 46.7 mln EEK to 199.7 mln EEK in the twelve months of the year. This was mainly due to transfer of current portion of the long-term borrowings from non-current liabilities to current liabilities. The company continues to maintain its leverage level within its target range of 50-60% with total liabilities to total capital employed of 51.8% as at 31 December 2007. Long-term liabilities stood at 1,125.2 mln EEK at the end of December 2007, consisting almost entirely of the outstanding balance on the two long-term bank loans. Cash flow During the twelve months of 2007, the Company generated 333.7 mln EEK of cash flows from operating activities, an increase of 13.1 mln EEK compared to the corresponding period in 2006. Operating profit continues to be the main driver for growth. In the twelve months of 2007 net cash outflows from investing activities were 152.9 mln EEK, which is 79.8 mln EEK more than in 2006. This was mainly due to some big construction revenue invoices that are due in the 1st quarter 2008, but also impacted by increased investment levels. In the twelve months of the year, the company invested 285.9 mln EEK - 213.9 mln EEK networks extension and rehabilitation, 46.2 mln EEK Paljassaare wastewater treatment plant and wastewater treatment, 11.8 mln EEK water quality (Ülemiste water treatment plant and raw water) and 13.4 mln EEK other investments (IT, capital maintenance, meters, etc). Cash outflows from financing activities were 251.8 mln EEK during the twelve months of the year compared to cash outflow of 205.2 mln EEK during the twelve months of 2006, reflecting increased dividend payments and related taxes. As a result of all of the above factors, the total cash outflow in the twelve months of 2007 was 71 mln EEK compared to a cash inflow of 42.3 mln EEK in the twelve months of 2006. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 178.4 mln EEK as at 31 December 2007. Employees At the end of the 4th quarter of 2007, the number of employees was 312, compared to 318 at the end of the 4th quarter of 2006. Dividends and share performance Based on the results of the 2006 financial year, the Annual General Meeting of shareholders of AS Tallinna Vesi voted to pay 196,010,000 EEK of dividends. Of this 10,000 EEK was paid to the owner of the B-share and 196,000,000 EEK, i.e. 9.8 EEK per share to the owners of the A-shares. Dividends were paid on 15 June 2007. As of 31 December 2007 AS Tallinna Vesi shareholders, with a direct holding over 5%, were: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | United Utilities (Tallinn) BV | 35.3% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | City of Tallinn | 34.7% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Nordea Bank Finland Plc clients account trading | 7.71% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Morgan Stanley + Co International Equity client | 6.81% | | account | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of the quarter, 31 December 2007, the closing price of the AS Tallinna Vesi share was 202.78 EEK (12.96 EUR), which is a 10.6% decrease compared to the closing price of 226.88 EEK (14.50 EUR) at the beginning of quarter, outperforming the market as the OMX Tallinn index dropped by 17.5% during the quarter. Operational achievements in 2007 In the 4th quarter the Services Agreement Amendment was signed with the City of Tallinn. The Services Agreement is extended until 2020 and the k-coefficient is also fixed until 2020 - 2% in years 2009 to 2010 and 0% in years 2011 to 2020. No extra capital expenditures (in addition to maintenance capex and extensions program agreed in the contract) can be imposed on the company until 2020. According to the agreement the network extension constructions must be completed by March 2011. To compensate the Company for the construction and financing costs a specific development component is included into the domestic water tariff starting from 1 March 2008 to the end of 2017 and the City of Tallinn will compensate the storm water constructions every month until the end of 2011. The development component shall be compensated to the customers with direct payment to the company by the City of Tallinn. The component is bigger during the construction period (9.00 kroons per m3 until 31 December 2011 and 6.10 kroons per m3 in years 2012 to 2017). Earlier, on 26 September the City Council approved the ‘basic' tariffs for water and wastewater services for 2008. The tariff increase is going to be at the expected level, i.e. 11.7%. The work on the new Paljassaare sludge processing building was completed and commissioning activities ended with full hand over in the beginning of November 2007. The project provides for the more effective and efficient operation and maintenance of this equipment and will realise further benefits in the operation of the wastewater and sludge treatment processes. The sludge composting fields were completed in the 3rd quarter and these have been taken into full operation. These projects enable the Company to continue with its environmentally friendly and cost effective policy of disposing zero sludge to landfill. The total cost of the project was over 40 mln EEK. - The wastewater treatment performance with all outfall effluent samples at all locations was all year long compliant with requirements and as a consequence the environmental charges for the year attracted a 50% reduction. As a result of the excellent treatment results the company saved 7.1 mln EEK from environmental taxes in 2007. - In the 3rd quarter the OHSAS (i.e. health and safety) accreditation was awarded to the company and the certification was formally presented to the company on 26th October. In the 3rd quarter the Estonian Chamber of Commerce nominated the company for the award of the Most Competitive Service Providing Company and we were acknowledged as the best in this category. The customers also acknowledge the work done by the Company to improve the services it provides. According to the survey carried out in December 2007 the customers' satisfaction index increased from 73 in 2006 to 79 at end of 2007.
