PARANDUSTEADE BALTIKA AUDITEERIMATA MAJANDUSTULEMUSTE, NELJANDA KVARTALI JA 12 KUU 2021 KOHTA

Message

Käesolevaga  esitab  Baltika  korrigeeritud  finantsaruande teate, lisades teate
lõppu võrdlevate tabelitena bilansi ja kasumiaruande.

Baltika Grupp lõpetas neljanda kvartali 890 tuhande euro suuruse puhaskahjumiga.
Eelmise  aasta sama perioodi  kahjum oli 1 352 tuhat  eurot. Vaatamata COVID-19
jätkuvale  pandeemiale  paranesid  kvartali  tulemused  462 tuhande  euro  võrra
aastate   võrdluses   seoses   Baltika   Grupi   tugeva   fookusega   püsikulude
vähendamiseks,  mille  tulemusena  vähenesid  turustus-  ja  üldhalduskulud 694
tuhande  euro võrra.  Aastalõpu tulemus  sisaldab 2022 aastal suletavate poodide
kulude  reservi summas 90 tuhat eurot,  edasilükkunud tulumaksu reservi kulu 60
tuhat eurot ja varude reservi summas 100 tuhat eurot.

Grupi neljanda kvartali müügitulu oli 2 614 tuhat eurot, vähenedes 34% võrreldes
eelmise  aasta  sama  perioodiga,  mil  jaemüük  vähenes  30% seoses 27 kaupluse
sulgemise  tõttu  ja  e-poodide  müük  vähenes  65%. Müügimahu  vähenemise teine
peamine  põhjus  on  seotud  asjaoluga,  et  Grupp otsustas edasise strateegiana
kaubelda  ainult ühe naisterõivabrändiga (uus Ivo Nikkolo) ja loobuda täielikult
meeste  rõivaste  müügist.  Lisaks  kehtestati  Lätis  COVID-19 tõttu  neljandas
kvartalis  täiendavaid  piiranguid,  mille  tulemusena suleti kauplused oktoobri
keskpaigast kuni novembri keskpaigani ja seejärel novembri keskpaigast kuni 21.
detsembrini nädalavahetusel.

Kvartali   brutokasum  oli  1 671 tuhat  eurot,  vähenedes  eelmise  aasta  sama
perioodiga  võrreldes  25% ehk  551 tuhande  euro  võrra (4 kv 2020: 2 222 tuhat
eurot). Ettevõtte brutokasumi marginaal oli neljandas kvartalis 63,9%, mis on 8
protsendipunkti  võrra kõrgem eelmise aasta neljanda kvartali marginaalist (4 kv
2020: 55,9%). Positiivne  brutomarginaali  kasv  on  tingitud sellest et Baltika
Grupp   müüs   suuremas   proportsioonis   täishinnaga  uusi  tooteid  ja  vähem
allahindlusega tooteid.

Grupi  turustus- ja  üldhalduskulud olid  neljandas kvartalis 2 289 tuhat eurot,
vähenedes  23% ehk  694 tuhat  eurot  võrreldes  eelmise  aasta sama perioodiga.
Kulude vähenemine on seotud jaeturu kulude vähenemisega. Poodide sulgemistega ja
muu  äritegevusega seotud ühekordsed kulud  olid 12 kuu jooksul summas 877 tuhat
eurot.  Turustus- ja üldhalduskulude järjepidev  ning oluline vähendamine on üks
osa  Baltika Grupi käimasolevast  restruktureerimisplaanist, mille tulemusena on
peakontori turustus- ja üldhalduskulud vähenenud 240 tuhande euro võrra.

Brutokasum  12 kuu 2021 kokkuvõttes  oli 6 120 tuhat  eurot, eelmise  aasta sama
perioodi  summa oli  9 676 tuhat eurot  (vähenemine 36,8%) ja  suurim langus oli
jaanuar  kuni mai kui enamus kauplused olid osa perioodist suletud seoses COVID-
19 pandeemiaga. Neljanda kvartali tulemust mõjutas enim kaupluste sulgemine Läti
turul.  Baltika turustus- ja üldhalduskulud  olid 12 kuu kokkuvõttes 9 551 tuhat
eurot, vähenedes 34,5% ehk 5 036 tuhat eurot tulenevalt strateegilisest otsusest
sulgeda   27 kahjumlikku  kauplust  kogu  Baltikumis.  Muu  äritulu  oli  neljas
kvartalis  kokku summas  59 tuhat eurot,  mis sisaldab  peamiselt Läti valitsuse
poolt eraldatud toetusega suletud poodide kulude katteks summas 56 tuhat eurot.

Aasta  finantskulud olid summas 330 tuhat  eurot ja tulumaksukulu 65 tuhat eurot
seoses  edasilükkunud tulumaksu  reservi muutusega  summas 80 tuhat eurot. Aasta
puhaskahjum  oli 2 900 tuhat eurot (eelmise  aasta sama perioodi võrreldav summa
oli  376 tuhat  eurot).  Lisaks  olid  kogu  Grupi  poodide  sulgemistega seotud
tegevuskulud  ligikaudu  30% suuremad  kui  see,  palju  sai  ettevõte erinevate
toetusmeetmetega,  mis omakorda avaldas negatiivset  mõju meie aasta tulemustele
hinnanguliselt   500 tuhat   eurot.  Eelmise  aasta  kasum  sisaldas  ühekordset
saneerimise mõju summas 5 905 tuhat eurot

Baltika  Grupp lõpetas  aasta 614 tuhande  euroga raha  ja raha ekvivalentidena,
kasutades  aasta lõpu seisuga panga arvelduskrediiti summas 1 985 tuhat eurot (3
000 tuhat  eurose limiidist).  Baltika jätkab  strateegia elluviimist  - arendab
kaasaegseid  kvaliteetseid  tooteid  oma  naistemoe  brändis Ivo Nikkolo, mis on
kättesaadav  nii Eestis,  Lätis, Leedus kui  ka Baltika e-poes.  Tugev fookus on
kindlasti  ka aksessuaaridel,  kus lai  valik kvaliteetseid  tooteid on saadaval
kõikides poodides.

Title

Notice of correction to Baltika’s Unaudited Financial Results, Fourth Quarter and 12 months of 2021

Message

Baltika hereby submits a statement of adjusted financial statement, with the
balance sheet and income statement appended as comparison tables.

Baltika  Group ended the fourth  quarter with a net  loss of 890 thousand euros.
The  loss for the  same period last  year was 1,352 thousand  euros. Despite the
ongoing  pandemic of  COVID-19, the quarter  results have  improved 462 thousand
euros  year-over-year  due  to  Baltika  Group's  strong  focus  on  fixed costs
reduction,  which led to operating expense decreasing by 694 thousand euros. The
year-end  result includes a reserve for the expense of closing stores in 2022 in
the amount of 90 thousand euros, reduction of deferred tax assets reserve in the
amount of 60 thousand euros, stock provision of 100 thousand euros.

The  Group's  sales  revenue  for  the  fourth quarter was 2,614 thousand euros,
decreasing  by 34% compared to the  same period last year  with a drop of 30% in
retail  sales due to  27 store closures and  decreased 65% in e-store sales. For
the  sake of  transparency, another  main reason  for the  decline in  sales was
related  to the fact that  our Group decided as  going forward strategy to trade
with  only  one  womenswear  brand  (new  Ivo  Nikkolo) and to fully discontinue
menswear. Additionally, in the fourth-quarter further restrictions due to COVID-
19 were forced in Latvia with the full store closures from mid-October till mid-
November  and  then  with  the  weekend  closures  from mid of November till 21
December.

The  gross profit for  the quarter was  1,671 thousand euros, decreasing by 25%
i.e.  551 thousand euros compared  to the same  period of the  previous year (Q4
2020: 2,222 thousand  euros). The company's gross profit margin was 63.9% in the
fourth  quarter, which is 8 percentage points higher than the margin of the same
quarter  of the previous  year (Q4 2020: 55,9%). The  positive increase in gross
profit  margin is  due to  Baltika Group  selling more  full-price stock  to end
customers with lower volumes of discounted items.

The  Group's distribution and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter were
2,289 thousand  euros, decreasing by 23% i.e. 694 thousand euros compared to the
same  period last year.  The majority of  this relevant cost  saving came from a
reduction  in retail operational costs. One-off  costs related to the closure of
stores  and other non-recurring  expenses related to  business activities during
the  12 months  amounted  to  877 thousand  euros.  Consistent  and  significant
reductions  in distribution  and administrative  expenses is  a part  of Baltika
Group's  ongoing restructuring  plan, a  focus area,  which has  led head office
expenses to decrease by 240 thousand euros.

12 months  total gross profit  amounts to 6,120 thousand  euros, compared to the
prior  year 9,676 thousand euros (decreasing  36,8%) and the largest decline was
from  January till May, when most stores were  closed for part of the period due
to  the COVID-19 pandemic. The result of the fourth quarter was most affected by
the closure of stores in the Latvian market. Operating expenses in the 12 months
amounted  to 9,551 thousand  euros, decreasing  by 34,5% that  is 5,036 thousand
euros  due to the strategic decision  to close 27 unprofitable stores throughout
the  Baltics. Other  operating income  totalled 59 thousand  euros in the fourth
quarter,  which is mainly  the Latvian government's  business support for closed
stores of 56 thousand euros.

The  financial expenses for the year were  330 thousand euros and the income tax
expense  was 65 thousand euros due to the  change in the deferred tax reserve in
the  amount of 80 thousand euros.  The net loss for  the year was 2,900 thousand
euros  (the amount  for the  same period  last year  was 376 thousand euros). In
addition,  Group´s lockdown-related  operating expenses  were approximately 30%
higher  than  what  Group  has  received  through various support schemes with a
negative  impact on  our yearly  result estimated  at around 500 thousand euros.
Last  year's profit  included a  one-off positive  reorganization impact  in the
amount of 5,905 thousand euros.

Baltika  Group ended  the year  with cash  and cash  equivalents of 614 thousand
euros, using the bank's overdraft facility in the amount of 1,985 thousand euros
(out  of the limit of 3,000 thousand euros) at the end of the year. Baltika will
continue  to implement the  strategy - develops  modern high-quality products in
its  women's fashion brand  Ivo Nikkolo, which  is available in Estonia, Latvia,
Lithuania,  and in our e-store. There is  a strong focus on accessories, where a
wide range of quality products is available in all stores.
