Kasumiaruanne
4. kvartal 2007
Müügitulud
2007. aasta 4. kvartalis kasvas Ettevõtte tulu 17,3 miljoni euroni, mis on 30,3%
suurune kasv võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga. Ettevõtte tulud
põhitegevusest olid 10,6 miljonit eurot. 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 9,7 miljoni euroni seoses 10,8% suuruse tariifitõusuga
alates 1. jaanuarist 2007.
Sektori lõikes jagunes kasv järgnevalt: Müük eraklientidele kasvas 10,4% võrra
5,2 miljoni euroni. Müük juriidilistele klientidele teeninduspiirkonnas kasvas
7,9% võrra 4,1 miljoni euroni. Müük juriidilistele klientidele väljaspool
teeninduspiirkonda (peamiselt ümbritsevatele omavalitsustele pakutav reovee
puhastamise teenus) kasvas 24,7% ulatudes 711 000 m³ ehk 0,3 miljoni euroni.
Saadud ülereostustasu oli 6 tuhat eurot 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 (+0,2
miljonit eurot 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 0,7 miljoni euroni
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 6,7 miljonit eurot (peamiselt liitumised
ning sademetevee torustiku ehitus), mis on 2,9 miljonit eurot 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 3,8 miljonit eurot, so 0,08 miljonit eurot 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 0,11 miljoni euro 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 0,3 miljonit eurot, mis
on 14,5% enam kui 2006. aasta samal perioodil.
Elektrikulud kasvasid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis võrreldes eelmise aasta sama
perioodiga 0,01 miljoni eurot ehk 3,7% võrra kõrgema elektrihinna ning
puhastatud reovee hulga tõttu.
Palgad kasvasid 0,2 miljoni eurot 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 0,03 miljoni euro 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
7,1 miljonit eurot, mis on 1,15 miljoni euro või 19,3% võrra suurem, kui
2006.aasta 4. kvartali 6 miljoni euro suurune brutokasum.
Ärikulud ja ärikasumi marginaal
Turustuskulud kasvasid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis võrrelduna 2006. aasta 4.
kvartaliga 0,09 miljoni euro võrra 0,24 miljoni euroni. 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 6 tuhat eurot 0,98 miljoni
euroni palgakulude ning muude üldhalduskulude suurenemise tulemusena. Ligikaudu
0,03 miljonit eurot 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 1,5 miljonit eurot, mis on 0,34
miljonit eurot 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 0,06 miljonit
eurot võrreldes 0,09 miljoni eurose kuluga 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis, põhiliselt
tulenedes 0,13 miljonilisest kasumist väikese kinnisvara müügi eest.
Ülaltoodud mõjude tulemusena oli ettevõtte ärikasum 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis 6
miljonit eurot, mis on 1,2 miljonit eurot enam kui 4,8 miljoni euro suurune
ärikasum 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis.
Finantskulud
Ettevõtte neto finantskulud olid 2007. aasta 4. kvartalis 0,73 miljonit eurot,
mis on 6 tuhande euro 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 5,2
miljonit eurot, so 1,2 miljonit eurot enam kui 4,0 miljoni eurone
maksustamiseelne kasum 2006. aasta 4. kvartalis.
2007. aasta 12 kuu tulemused
2007. aasta kaheteist kuuga kasvas Ettevõtte kogu müügitulu 52,5 miljoni euroni,
mis on 18,4%-line kasv võrreldes eelmise aasta sama perioodiga. Ettevõtte tulud
põhitegevusest olid 41,4 miljonit eurot. Veemüügi ja reoveeteenuse tulu oli 38,3
miljonit eurot, mis on 9,2% ning 3,2 miljoni euro võrra enam, kui 2006.aastal.
Põhitegevusega seotud muud tulud (põhiliselt rajamistasud ja sadevee tulud) olid
kokku 11,0 miljonit eurot 2007. aastal.
Ettevõtte maksustamiseelne kasum oli 2007. aasta kaheteist kuuga 21,3 miljonit
eurot, so 2,4 miljonit eurot enam kui 18,9 miljoni eurone maksustamiseelne kasum
2006. aastal. 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu tulemustele avaldasid mõju kaks
ühekordse iseloomuga asjaolu: Keskkonnaministeeriumi lõplik heakskiit
lämmastikuprojekti edukusele, mille tulemusena vabastati 0,85 miljoni eurone
saastetasu provisjon esimeses kvartalis, ning 0,13 miljoni suurune kasum väikese
kinnisvara müügist neljandas kvartalis. 2006. aasta kaheteist kuu tulemustele
avaldas mõju 1,5 miljoni euro eest Paljasaare maamüük. Nende ühekordsete
mõjurite elimineerimisel kasvas Ettevõtte 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu
maksustamiseelne kasum võrreldes eelmise aastaga 3,0 miljoni eurot ehk 17,3%
võrra 20,3 miljoni euroni.
Bilanss
2007.aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul investeeris ettevõte põhivarasse 18,3 miljonit
eurot. Lõpetamata-, materiaalne- ja immateriaalne põhivara oli 2007. aasta 31.
detsembri seisuga 139,6 miljonit eurot. Käibevara suurenes aasta kaheteist kuuga
2,8 miljoni euro võrra 23,9 miljoni euroni, mis tuleneb peamiselt 2008..a. I
kvartalis tasumisele kuuluvate ostjate vastu üles võetud nõuete kasvamisest.
Lühiajalised kohustused suurenesid kaheteist kuu jooksul 3,0 miljoni euro võrra
12,8 miljoni euroni. 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 71,9 miljonit
eurot, mis koosnes peaaegu täielikult kahe pikaajalise pangalaenu jäägist.
Rahakäive
2007. aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul oli Ettevõtte äritegevuse rahakäive 21,3
miljonit eurot, mis on 0,8 miljonit eurot enam kui 2006. aasta samal perioodil.
Ärikasum on jätkuvalt peamine tegur ettevõtte äritegevuse rahakäibe kasvus.
2007. aasta kaheteist kuu investeerimistegevuse raha väljavool oli 9,8 miljonit
eurot, so 5,1 miljonit eurot 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 18,3 miljonit eurot - 13,7 miljonit eurot võrkude
laiendamiseks ja parendamiseks, 2,95 miljonit eurot Paljassaare sade- ja reovee
puhastusjaama uuendamiseks, 0,75 miljonit eurot vee kvaliteedi säilitamiseks
(Ülemiste veepuhastusjaam ja toorvee kvaliteet) ja 0,86 miljonit eurot muid
investeeringuid (IT, investeeringute väärtuse säilimine, veenäidikud jne).
Raha väljavool finantstegevusest oli aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul 16,1 miljonit
eurot võrreldes eelmise aasta samal perioodil olnud 13,1 miljoni euroga ning
kajastab suurenenud dividendimakseid.
Eelnevate tegurite mõjul oli raha väljavool 2007. aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul
4,5 miljonit eurot võrrelduna 2,7 miljoni euro suuruse raha sissevooluga 2006.
aasta kaheteist kuu jooksul. Raha ja raha ekvivalentide saldo oli 2007. aasta
31. detsembri seisuga 11,4 miljonit eurot.
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
12 527 322 eurot dividende. Sellest 639 eurot maksti B-aktsia omanikule ja
12 526 683 miljonit eurot, so 0,6 eurot 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

Kvartali lõpus, 31. detsembril 2007, oli AS Tallinna Vesi akatsia sulgemishind
12.96 EUR, mis on 10,6% madalam võrreldes kvartali alguses olnud 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 (0,58 eurot m3 kohta kuni 31.
detsembrini 2011 ja 0,39 eurot 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 2,6
miljoni eurot.
Kogu aasta vältel vastasid kõik heitvee proovid nõuetele ning seetõttu alandati
ka keskkonnamakse 50% võrra. Eeskujulike puhastustulemuste tulemusel hoidis
ettevõte 2007 aastal kokku 0,45 miljonit eurot.
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.

Profit and Loss Statement
4th quarter 2007
Sales
In the 4th quarter of 2007 the Company's total sales increased, year on year, by
30.3% to 17.3 mln EUR. Sales from the Company's main operating activities were
10.6 mln EUR. 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 9.7 mln EUR, 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 5.2 mln EUR. Sales to commercial
customers within the service area increased by 7.9% to 4.1 mln EUR. 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 0.3 mln EUR. Over pollution fees
received were 6 th EUR 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 (+0.2 mln EUR 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 0.7 mln EUR 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 6.7 mln EUR which is 2.9 mln EUR 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 3.8 mln EUR in the
4th quarter of 2007, an increase of 0.08 mln EUR 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 0.11 mln EUR 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 0.3 mln EUR, which represents a 14.5%
decrease compared to the corresponding period in 2006.
Electricity costs increased by 0.01 mln EUR 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 0.2 mln EUR 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 0.03 mln
EUR, 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 7.1 mln EUR, which represents an increase of 1.15 mln EUR, or 19.3%,
compared to the gross profit of 6 mln EUR for the 4th quarter of 2006.
Operating Costs and Operating Margin
Marketing expenses increased by 0.09 mln EUR to 0.24 mln EUR 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 6 th EUR to 0.98 mln EUR in the 4th
quarter of 2007 as a consequence of an increase in salaries as described above.
The other general administration expenses include approximately 0.03 mln EUR
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 1.5 mln
EUR in the 4th quarter of 2007, which is a 0.34 mln EUR 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 0.06 mln EUR in the 4th quarter
of 2007 compared to a cost of 0.09 mln EUR in the 4th quarter of 2006, mainly
because of a 0.13 mln EUR 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 6 mln EUR, an increase of 1.2 mln EUR compared to an
operating profit of 4.8 mln EUR achieved in the 4th quarter of 2006.
Financial expenses
Net Financial expenses were 0.73 mln EUR in the 4th quarter of 2007, which is an
increase of 6 th EUR 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 5.2 mln EUR,
which is 1.2 mln EUR higher than the profit before taxes of 4.0 mln EUR 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 52.5 mln EUR. Sales from the Company's main operating
activities were 41.4 mln EUR. Sales of water and wastewater services were 38.3
mln EUR, a 9.2% increase worth of 3.2 mln EUR compared to the twelve months of
2006. The revenues from other operating activities, mainly connections and storm
water construction, totaled 11.0 mln EUR in 2007.
The Company's profit before taxes for the twelve months of 2007 was 21.3 mln
EUR, which is 2.4 mln EUR higher than the profit before taxes of 18.9 mln EUR 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 0.85 mln EUR for environmental taxes in the 1st quarter and secondly by
0.13 mln EUR 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 1.5 mln EUR. When eliminating these one-offs, the underlying
profit before tax has increased by 3 mln EUR to 20.3 mln EUR i.e. 17.3%
year-on-year.
Balance sheet
During the twelve months of 2007 the Company invested 18.3 mln EUR into fixed
assets. Non-current assets were 139.6 mln EUR at 31 December 2007. Current
assets increased by 2.8 mln EUR to 23.9 mln EUR 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 3.0 mln EUR to 12.8 mln EUR 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 71.9 mln EUR 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 21.3 mln EUR of cash
flows from operating activities, an increase of 0.8 mln EUR 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
9.8 mln EUR, which is 5.1 mln EUR 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 18.3 mln EUR - 13.7 mln EUR networks extension and
rehabilitation, 2.95 mln EUR Paljassaare wastewater treatment plant and
wastewater treatment, 0.75 mln EUR water quality (Ülemiste water treatment plant
and raw water) and 0.86 mln EUR other investments (IT, capital maintenance,
meters, etc).
Cash outflows from financing activities were 16.1 mln EUR during the twelve
months of the year compared to cash outflow of 13.1 mln EUR 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 4.5 mln EUR compared to a cash inflow of 2.7 mln EUR in the
twelve months of 2006. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 11.4 mln EUR 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.

Based on the results of the 2006 financial year, the Annual General Meeting of
shareholders of AS Tallinna Vesi voted to pay 12,527,322 EUR of dividends. Of
this 639 EUR was paid to the owner of the B-share and 12,526,683 EUR, i.e. 0.6

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 (0.58 EUR per m3 until 31 December 2011 and 0.39 EUR 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 2.6 mln EUR.
- 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 0.45 mln EUR 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.
