AS Ekspress Grupp: 2014. aasta I kvartali konsolideeritud vahearuanne
Teade
Tallinn, Eesti, 2014-04-30 13:42 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
2014. aasta I kvartalis ulatus Ekspress Grupi normaliseeritud EBITDA 1,64
miljoni euroni ning puhaskasum 0,69 miljoni euroni. Normaliseeritud EBITDA osas
ületati eelmist aastat 9,2% ja puhaskasumi osas 8,3%. I kvartali
erakorralisteks kuludeks olid AS-ga Eesti Meedia seotud kohtuvaidluse kulud
summas 0,19 miljonit eurot. Tulemus ületab lisaks eelmisele aastale ka
kontserni eelarvestatud kvartali tulemust ligi 0,4 miljoni euro võrra nii
EBITDA kui ka puhaskasumi osas. Selle positiivse tulemuse saavutamisele aitasid
kaasa pea kõik kontserni ettevõtted. Normaliseerimata teenis ettevõte 1,45
miljonit eurot EBITDA-d ning 0,50 miljonit eurot puhaskasumit. Ettevõtte
finantspositsioon on tugev. Laenumaksete ja intresside kattekordaja ulatub
1,64-ni ning likviidsuskordaja üle 1,0. Ettevõtte koguvõla ja EBITDA suhtarv on
kvartali lõpu seisuga alanenud 3,26-ni.
Eelpool toodud numbrid kajastavad kõiki meie ühisettevõtteid (AS SL Õhtuleht,
AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus ja AS Express Post) rida-realt 50% konsolideerituna.
Uute rahvusvaheliste finantsaruandluse standardite (IFRS) kohaselt tuleb 50%
ühisettevõtteid alates 2014. aastast kajastada konsolideeritud aruannetes
kapitaliosaluse meetodil. Nimetatud arvestuspõhimõtte muudatus ei muuda
puhaskasumit, kuid selle tulemusena on kontserni raamatupidamisse aruandes I
kvartali müügitulud ligi 2 miljoni euro võrra väiksemad ja EBITDA ligi 0,1
miljoni euro võrra väiksem. Oma igakuistes kokkuvõtetes jälgib juhtkond
kontserni tulemust jätkates ühisettevõtete proportsionaalset konsolideerimist
ning samuti on sätestatud sündikaatlaenulepingus suhtarvude jälgimine võttes
arvesse proportsionaalset konsolideerimist. Selguse huvides on tegevusaruandes
välja toodud kaks komplekti näitajaid, üks, kus ühisettevõtted on
konsolideeritud rida-realt ning teine, kus ühisettevõtted on kajastatud
kapitaliosaluse meetodil ning nende tulemus kajastub ühe reana finantstuludes.
Raamatupidamise vahearuande lisas 3 on välja toodud detailsemalt iga
ühisettevõtte mõju vastavatele kasumiaruande- ja bilansiridadele.
I kvartalil näitas suurimat kasvu nii käibes kui EBITDA’s online segment,
kasvatades müügitulu 12% ja EBITDA-d 96%. Perioodilised väljaanded suutsid
käivet kasvatada 4%, kuid EBITDA paranes 42%. Trükiteenused kasvatasid käivet
7% ja EBITDA paranes 3%.
Online segmendis on suurimat kasvu käibes näidanud Delfi Eesti, kasvades 26%.
Delfi Leedu kasvas 11%. Delfi Läti käive I kvartalis kahanes 5%, kuid milline
tulemus tänu üleminekule eurole ja võimalikule hinnašokile oli siiski oodatust
parem. EBITDA mõttes paranes nii Eesti kui Leedu tulemus mitu korda. Online
segmendi tegevust iseloomustasid I kvartalis panustamine lisaks põhitootele ka
erinevatesse teemaportaalidesse. Samuti jätkasime kõigis kolmes riigis
jaekaupmeeste hinnasoodustuskampaaniaid eksponeerivate portaalide zave.ee,
zave.lv ja zave.lt arendamist. I kvartali lõpuks oli enim suutnud kasvada
Zave’i Eesti portaal, millega kuu lõpuks oli liitunud üle 20 erineva
jaekaupmehe.
Perioodiliste väljaannete segmenti iseloomustab nõrk trükireklaamiturg, mida
aitab tasakaalustada tellimuste ja üksikmüügi tulu. Perioodiliste väljaannete
segmendis kasvas AS Eesti Ajalehed käive 9% ja EBITDA paranes 82%. Suuresti oli
kasvu põhjuseks eelmisest aastast kõrgemad kaanehinnad nii jaemüügis kui ka
tellimustes ning krimiraamatute sarja edukas käekäik. Sarja edukuse tõttu
otsustati seda pikendada 10 raamatu võrra. Samuti on aastataguse ajaga
võrreldes kasvanud jõudsalt Eesti Ekspressi ja Eesti Päevalehe digitellimused
vastavalt 98% ja 134%, saavutades kvartali lõpuks seitsme tuhande tellija
piiri. I kvartalis alustati ka Maalehe digitellimuste müümist ning kvartali
lõpuks oli maksvaid digitellijaid Maalehel ligi 3,5 tuhat. Perioodiliste
väljaannete segmendis kasvas mõõdukalt ka AS SL Õhtuleht ja AS Ajakirjade
Kirjastus käive. EBITDA osas jäi AS SL Õhtuleht 12% miinusesse võrreldes
eelmise aastaga, AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus teenis poolteist korda parema EBITDA,
saavutades absoluuttulemuseks 10 tuhat eurot kasumit. Raamatukirjastamise
ettevõte OÜ Hea Lugu teenis 20% parema EBITDA kui aasta tagasi, samuti ületas
kasumit 14% ulatuses AS Express Post. Leedu ajakirjade kirjastus jäi esimeses
kvartalis 29 tuhande euroga kahjumisse.
Jaanuaris uuendati Eesti Päevalehte ning alustati eraldi teemapäevadega. Igal
päeval on pühendatud neli viimast lehekülge ühele konkreetsele teemale
(vastavalt Sport, Ärileht, Forte, Tervis, Tarbija). Alates märtsist ilmub
uuenduskuuri läbinud Maakodu, mis tähistab tänavu oma 25.sünnipäeva.
Uuendustest ei pääse ka Eesti Ekspress, mis aprilli lõpus hakkab ilmuma
neljapäeva asemel kolmapäeviti.
Eriti väärivad äramärkimist meie kontserni ajakirjanikud, kes konkurentsitult
korjasid 2013.aasta lugude eest kõige rohkem ajakirjandusauhindu ning ühtlasi
võitsid ka kõige mainekama Bonnieri preemia.
Trükiteenuste segmendis kasvas AS Printall käive 7% ja EBITDA 3%. I kvartalis
on kasvatatud Eesti-sisest käivet, mille tulemusena ekspordi osakaal vähenes
ühe protsendipunkti võrra 68%-ni. Samuti toimub pidev riikide osakaalude
muutus. I kvartalis käive Soome kasvas 58%, samal ajal kui käive Venemaale
vähenes 33%, võrreldes eelmise aasta sama ajaga.
Kontserni tasandil jätkus vaidlus konkureeriva meediaettevõttega Eesti Meedia
ühisettevõtete omandit puudutava väljaostuõiguse realiseerimise osas.
Teiselt kvartalilt ootame mõõdukat käibe kasvu 5% võrreldes eelmise aasta sama
perioodiga ja seda ühtlaselt kõigis segmentides ning EBITDA ja puhaskasumi
paranemist 10%. Meie nägemus II kvartaliks ei arvesta majanduskeskkonna
dramaatilist halvenemist tulenevalt võimalikest negatiivsetest arengutest
piirinaabrite majanduses.
Teises kvartalis toimub kontserni Leedu tütarettevõtete ühendamine üheks nn
meediahouseks. Eesmärgiks tugevdada meie positsiooni ning saavutada sünergiat
nii kuludes kui ka kvaliteedis. Kindlasti aitab sellel kaasa ka tihe koostöö
Leedu suurima reklaamivõrgustikuga Adnet, milles vähemusosaluse omandamine on
lõpusirgel.
Jätkame uute kasvuallikate otsimist, mis aitaksid kaasa innovatiivsete
lahenduste arendamisele meie nõudlikule lugejale ja kliendile. Otsime
lahendusi, mis pakuksid jätkuvalt uusi ja huvitavaid elamusi nii paberil kui
digitaalses meedias, kuid järele andmata uudiste kvaliteedis, teemade valikus
ning ajakirjanduslikus objektiivsuses.

SEGMENTIDE ÜLEVAADE
Grupp tegutseb alates 2009. aastast vaid järgmistes segmentides:
- online-meedia
- perioodilised väljaanded (ajalehed, ajakirjad ja raamatud)
- trükiteenused.
Tsüklilisus
Kontserni kõiki tegevusvaldkondi iseloomustab tsüklilisus ja kõikumine, mis on
põhjustatud üldiste majandustingimuste ja tarbijate usalduse muutumisest.
Kontserni tulusid mõjutavad negatiivselt majandusarengu aeglustumine või
majanduse surutisse langemine. Seda nii jaesektorile suunatud reklaamikulude
üldine vähendamine, teiste reklaamikanalite eelistamine (näiteks interneti
eelistamine pabermeediale) kui ka jaetarbijate endi tarbimisharjumiste
muutumine (jooksvate uudiste jälgimine uudisportaalidest versus paberlehtede
lugemine, noorema põlvkonna eelistus kasutada mobiilseid vahendeid ning muid
suhtluskanaleid jne).
Hooajalisus
Kontserni reklaamimüügi ja samuti trükiteenuste segmendi tulud sõltuvad
olulistest hooajalistest kõikumistest. Mõlema tululiigi tase on kõrgeim iga
aasta teises ja neljandas kvartalis. Nimetatud tulud on madalaimal tasemel
kolmandas kvartalis. Tulud on suuremad neljandas kvartalis, kuna tarbijad
kulutavad jõulueelsel perioodil rohkem, millega kaasneb ka reklaamile tehtud
kulutuste suurenemine. Suvekuudel on klientide kulutused reklaamile tavaliselt
kõige madalamad. Samuti ka jõulu- ja uusaastapidustuste järgselt aasta
esimestel kuudel.

firmaväärtuste ning kaubamärkide allahindlust. Segmentide reklaamimüügituludest
ei ole maha arvatud agentuuridele makstavaid mahupõhiseid ja muid tasusid kuna
juhtkond jälgib bruto reklaamimüügitulusid. Allahindlused ja hinnavähendused
kajastuvad kontserni müügitulu vähendusena ja on näidatud elimineerimiste

I kvartalis on Delfi Eesti ja Leedu mõlemad jätkanud hoogsat kasvamist ja seda
nii käibe kui ka kasutajate arvu osas. Käibe kasvu taga on eelkõige edukalt
käivitunud uued vertikaalid ja teemaportaalid, uued reklaamilahendused, Delfi
TV ning üha kasvav mobiilirakenduse kasutamine. Delfi Leedu EBITDA kasvu on
aidanud saavutada eelkõige müügimeeskonna efektiivsuse kasv, parem
kliendifookus ning aktiivsem tegelemine üle tähtaja nõuetega. Delfi Läti käive
ja EBITDA on võrreldes eelmise aastaga kahanenud, kuid edestas oluliselt
eelarvet. Arvestasime juba eelnevalt euro kasutuselevõtust tingitud negatiivse
mõjuga, mis kokkuvõttes osutus nõrgemaks, kui kartsime. Samas on jällegi mõju
avaldanud ja ilmselt veel avaldamas Ukraina sündmused. Samas usume, et üle
Baltikumi käivitatud tegevus lisab hoogu ka Läti kasvule ning käesolev aasta
tuleb kokkuvõttes käibe ja tootearenduse osas edukam kui eelmine.
Delfi Eesti
· Eraldiseisva ja uuel platvormil Delfi TV käivitamine.
· Delfi Eesti jätkas live ülekannete edastamisega nüüd juba Delfi TV
kaubamärgi all. Suuremate projektidena toimusid juba teist aastat järjest terve
päev väldanud programm Eesti Vabariigi aastapäeva üritustest, olümpiaülekanded,
korvpallistriimid välismaal jne.
· Uuendatud on ilmasaiti ja huumorilehekülge. Viimane kannab nüüd
nimetust www.igav.ee.
· Uue kommentaariumi käivitamisega on suurenenud on registreeritud
kasutajate poolt avaldatavate kommentaaride hulk.
· Palju vastukaja ja toetust on Delfi saanud seoses Euroopa Inimõiguste
Kohtu (EIÕK) Suurkoja poolt menetlusse võetud kaebusega, milles AS Delfi on
jätkuvalt arvamusel, et portaalipidajad ei ole kohustatud kasutajate poolt
loodud sisu eelmodereerima. Kohtusaaga algas 2006. aastal, mil Vjatšeslav Leedo
kaebas Delfi kohtusse portaalis artikli „SLK lõhkus plaanitava jäätrassi“
kommentaaride tõttu. Artikkel sai lugejatelt kokku 185 kommentaari, millest 20
hindas Leedo oma au teotavateks.
Eesti internetiväljaannete lugejate arv 2013-2014
Aasta 2014 I kvartal on olnud Delfi jaoks edukas. Kasutajate vahe konkureeriva
portaaliga postimees.ee on stabiilselt olnud üle 150 tuhande unikaalse brauseri
nädalas. Jätkuvalt kasvab uudisportaalide tarbimine nutitelefonide kaudu – I
kvartalis on olnud nädalaid, kus mobiilsete kasutajate arv on olnud üle 330
tuhande brauseri. See näitab, et kohati toimub Delfi uudiste tarbimine 25%
ulatuses mobiilsetes seadmetes.
Delfi Läti
· Uuel platvormil Delfi TV striimid erinevatelt üritustelt nagu Läti
korvpalliliiga ja jäähokiliiga võistlustelt, eksklusiivne kabareeshow

· Kokandusportaal www.tasty.lv on tõusnud I kvartalis Läti suurimaks ja
populaarsemaks retseptiportaaliks.
· Eraldi teemalehed nagu Sotši olüpiamängud, valetinipäev, naistepäev jne.
· Koostööprojektid:
- Läti muusikaauhindade „The Great Music Award“ meediapartner,
- marketingifestivali „Password“ meediapartner,
- Riga Fashion Week meediapartner.
Läti internetiväljaannete lugejate arv 2013-2014
2014. aasta I kvartalis oli kasutajate aktiivsus uudisportaalides jälle väga
kõrge. Selle põhjusteks on nii novembris Riias toimunud traagilise õnnetuse
järelkajad kui ka Ukraina sündmuste aktiveerumine.
Delfi kasutajate arv on viimastel kuudel märkimisväärselt kasvanud ja Delfi on
väga lähedal saamaks suurimaks portaaliks Lätis. Märtsis jäi Delfit lahutama
suurimast portaalist Inbox.ee ainult 20 tuhat reaalset kasutajat kuus. On
tõenäoline, et lisades esitatud personaalarvutite statistikale ka
mobiilikasutuse numbrid, siis on Delfi Läti suurima kasutajate arvuga portaal.
I kvartali olilisim sündmus turul oli Apollo.lv ostmine Tvnet.lv poolt. Selle
tulemusena tekib Lätis üks tugev konkurent Delfile.
Alates jaanuarist 2014 on muutunud Gemiuse internetiuuringu metoodika. 2014.
aasta kasutajate numbrid sisaldavad ainult arvutite (PC) kasutuse tulemusi ja
välja on jäetud kõik mobiilsed seadmed. Mobiilsete seadmete eraldiseisev
statistika tekib 2014. aasta jooksul.
Delfi Leedu
· Käivitati uuel platvormil Delfi TV, mille kaudu on näidatud otsesaateid
ja striime sellistelt üritustelt nagu Baltikumi suurim
tehnoloogiakonverents“Login“, ideedekonverents „Tedx Vilnius“, Davis Cup
tennisematš Leedu ja Norra vahel, erinevatelt moe- ja teatriüritustelt, Genfi
autonäituselt jne.
· Delfi TV käivitas igapäevase TV lühiuudistesaate, mis annab 2 minuti
jooksul ülevaate kõige olulisemast ja huvitavamast.
· Delfi TV tõi turule dokumentaalseeria Bushido ja samuraide ajaloost,
NATO Õhujõu missioonist Leedus, populaarteadusliku TeadusEkspressi,
kulinaariateemalised projektid jne
· Käivitati uued TV kanalid „Moteris TV“ (“Leedu Naine”) ja „Mano namai
TV“ (“Minu Kodu”).
· Suur kasutajate huvi on saatnud Ukraina sündmuste kajastamist, millesse
kaasati Ukraina kohalikke freelancer’itest ajakirjanikke ja fotograafe ning mis
hõlmasid nii majandust, poliitikat kui ka kaitsepoliitikat.
· Koostööprojektid erinevas vallas:
- Leedu talveralli koostööpartner,
- "Valstyb?" majanduskonverentsi koostööpartner,
- BZN START start-up’ide auhinnagala ametlik meediapartner.

Leedu internetiväljaannete lugejate arv 2013-2014
Leedu internetikasutajate hulgas on Delfi Leedu endiselt vaieldamatu turuliider
omades jätkuvalt pea 1,2 miljonit unikaalset kasutajat kuus. Ukraina sündmused
on Delfi kasutajaskonda märkimisväärselt kasvatanud ja numbritest nähtub, et
Delfi kajastus on olnud ka kõige edukam, kuna konkureerivad väljaanded on
lugajaid kaotanud.
Alates jaanuarist 2014 on muutunud Gemiuse internetiuuringu metoodika. 2014.
aasta kasutajate numbrid sisaldavad ainult arvutite (PC) kasutuse tulemusi ja
välja on jäetud kõik mobiilsed seadmed. Mobiilsete seadmete eraldiseisav

*Ühisettevõtetest proportsionaalne osa
Perioodiliste väljaannete segmendile ei ole olnud kerge kvartal. Kui ajakirjade
reklaamiturg on olnud kergelt tõusev, siis kõikide ajalehtede reklaamitulud
vähenevad. Käivet on aidanud hoida eriprojektid, raamatusarjad ja ka
kaanehinnatõus, kuigi tiraazid kokkuvõttes vähenevad. Positiivne on tellijate
arvu kasv, eelkõige digitellimuste osas, vastukaaluks jaemüügikohtade
kadumisele. Digitellimused on kasvanud Eesti Ekspressil 98% ja Eesti Päevalehel
+134% ning ulatuvad üle 7 tuhande tellija. Suhteliselt edukas on olnud LP
krimiraamatute sari, samal ajal kui lastefilmide DVD sari on jäänud oluliselt
alla oodatud tulemuse. Kasvatame jätkuvalt uute väljaantavate raamatute arvu.
Väga edukaks on osutunud eelmise aasta lõpus välja tulnud uutmoodi lähenemisega
„Matemaatika õhtuõpik“, mis nüüdsest saadaval ka tasuta elektroonilisel kujul.
AS SL Õhtuleht on koostöös Ajakirjade Kirjastusega kasvatanud märkimisväärselt
võrgustiku kaudu oma online reklaamimüügi käivet.
Ajakirjade Kirjastus tõi esimeses kvartalis turule uued tooted TervisPlussi eri
Kilo&Kalor ja Anne&Stiili eriväljaande Unistuste Pulmad. Jõuliselt on
arendatud internetiportaali www.ideesahver.ee ja uue ideena portaali
www.tarklapsevanem.ee. Olulisi muudatusi on tehtud ka telemarketingi osakonna
töös, mis peaks aitama kaasa tulemuslikumale müügitööle.
Eesti ajalehtede tiraaž 2013-2014
Eesti ajalehtede tiraažid on jätkuvalt stabiilsed või mõõdukalt langevad.
Rohkem langeb päevalehtede tiraaž, vähem nädalalehtede oma. 2014. aasta I
kvartali seisuga on kõige rohkem langenud tiraaž väljaandel Postimees – 2013.
aasta I kvartaliga võrreldes üle 10%. I kvartalis on suuremate ajalehtede
tiraaž vähenenud keskmiselt 3%. Suhteliselt hästi on läinud nädalalehtedel.
Ekspress Grupi väljaannetest on Eesti Ekspress suutnud säilitada keskmist
tiraaži ja Maaleht ainukese suurema ajalehena on suutnud oma tiraaži kasvatada.
Sellele lisanduvad Ekspress Grupi väljaannete puhul digitaalsete väljaannete
tellijad, keda I kvartali seisuga on nii Eesti Ekspressil kui ka Eesti
Päevalehel üle 7 tuhande. Digitellijate kasvutrend on jätkuv.
Eesti ajalehtede lugejaskond 2013-2014
Eesti ajalehtede lugejaskonnas suuri muutusi 2014. aasta I kvartalis ei
toimunud. Turu-uuringute AS lugejauuringu andmetel vähenes 2014. aasta I
kvartalis lehelugejate arv keskmiselt 2%. Kuude sisesed kõikumised on olnud
suuremad, kuid see on tingitud eelkõige uuringumetoodikast. Väärib mainimist,
et Ekspress Grupi digilehtede lugejate arv ei sisaldu üleval toodud numbrites
ja kogu Ekspress Grupi väljaannete lugejate arv on suurem, kui graafikult
nähtub.
Trükiteenuste segment
Kontserni kõik trükiteenused on kontsentreerunud ASi Printall, mis on üks
suurim trükkimisega tegelev ettevõte Eestis. Printall on võimeline trükkima nii
ajalehti (coldset) kui ka ajakirju (heatset).

AS Printall trükiteenuste käive kasvas I kvartalis 5,6% ning paberimüügikäive
8%. Üle pika aja on kasvanud Eesti-sisene kontserniväline müük ja seda koguni
20%. Sellele aitasid kaasa nii olemasolevate klientide tiraažide suurenemine
kui ka uute väljaannete trükkimine ning lisandunud uued kliendid. Ekspordi
osakaal käibes langes 69%-lt 68%-le. Ekspordiriikide osakaaludes on toimunud
samuti suured muudatused. Suurenenud on Soome ja Taani osakaal, samal ajal kui
Venemaa, Norra ja Rootsi on vähenenud. Endiselt jätkab ettevõte
tootmisefektiivsuse suurendamist. Kuigi trükitoodangu maht I kvartalis
suurenes, jäi tehtud töötundide arv samale tasemele võrreldes eelmise aasta
sama perioodiga.
Trükiteenused ja keskkond
Lisaks majanduslikult väga efektiivsele ettevõttele keskendutakse Printallis ka
keskkonnateadlikule tootmisele. Printallile on omistatud 2012. aastal ISO 9001
juhtimissertifikaat ja ISO 14001 keskkonnasertifikaat.
Eesti Vabariigi keskkonnaminister ja jäätmekäitleja AS Ragn-Sells on omistanud
Printallile Suure Aasta Taaskasutaja auhinna, kuna ettevõte suunab
taaskasutusse 95% tekkivatest jäätmetest.
Põhjamaade Ministrite Nõukogu on omistanud Printallile keskkonnamärgistuse “The
Nordic Ecolabel”, millega pärjatakse Põhjamaade säästlikult tootvaid
ettevõtteid. Samuti on Printallil FSC ja PEFC Chain of Custody (COC)
sertifikaadid, millega anname omapoolse panuse rohelise mõtteviisi elavdamisele
trükitööstuses. Nimetatud sertifikaadid on toote tarneahela jälgimis- ja nõuete
vastavuse täitmise sertifikaadid, mis väljastatakse ettevõtetele, kes täidavad
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) ja PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of
Forest Certification) kehtestatud nõudeid. Ettevõte, kellele omistatakse
sellised sertifikaadid, toetab oma tegevusega keskkonnasõbralikku, sotsiaalselt
õiglast ja majanduslikult elujõulist maailma metsade majandamist.
Printall hoolib keskkonnast ja kasutab rohelist energiat. POWERED BY GREEN
sertifikaat kinnitab, et ettevõte ostab elektrienergiat, mille tootmisel on
kasutatud vähemalt 70% taastuvaid energiaallikaid.

AS Ekspress Grupp: Consolidated Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2014
Teade
Tallinn, Estonia, 2014-04-30 13:42 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
In the 1st quarter of 2014, the normalised EBITDA of Ekspress Group amounted to
EUR 1.64 million and the net profit was EUR 0.69 million. The normalised EBITDA
increased by 9.2% year-on-year and the net profit figure was 8.3% higher as
compared to Q1 2013. In the 1st quarter, extraordinary expenses included the
amount of EUR 0.19 million in costs related to the court dispute with AS Eesti
Meedia. The normalised result exceeds last year’s figures, as well as the
Group’s budgeted quarterly result by approximately EUR 0.4 million in terms of
both EBITDA and the net profit. Almost all Group companies contributed to that
positive result. Without normalising the figures, the company’s EBITDA was EUR
1.45 million and the net profit was EUR 0.50 million. The Company has a strong
financial position. The debt service coverage ratio is as high as 1.64 and the
liquidity ratio is over 1.0. By the end of the quarter, the Company’s ratio of
total debt to EBTIDA decreased to 3.26.
The above numbers relate to all our joint ventures (AS SL Õhtuleht, AS
Ajakirjade Kirjastus and AS Express Post) consolidated line-by-line 50%.
Starting from 2014, in accordance with new international financial reporting
standards (IFRS) 50% joint ventures are recognized under the equity method in
the consolidated financial statements. The change in these accounting policies
did not affect the net profit, but decreased the first-quarter revenue by EUR 2
million and the EBITDA by EUR 0.1 million. In its monthly reports, the
management monitors the Group’s performance by continuing proportionate
consolidation of joint ventures. Also loan covenants set in the syndicated loan
contract are calculated based on proportionate consolidation. For purposes of
clarity, the management report shows two sets of indicators: one where joint
ventures are consolidated line by line and the other where joint ventures are
recognised under the equity method and their results are presented in one line
as financial income. In Note 3 of the interim financial statements, the impact
of each joint venture on relevant lines of the income statement and balance
sheet is shown in more detail.
In the 1st quarter, the biggest growth in both revenue and EBITDA was recorded
in the online media segment, where sales revenue increased by 12% and EBITDA
were up by 96%. The periodicals segment managed to increase the revenue by 4%,
but EBITDA improved by 42%. In the printing services segment, revenue increased
by 7% and EBITDA improved by 3%.
In the online media segment, the biggest revenue growth was posted by Delfi
Estonia, and was up by 26%. The revenue of Delfi Lithuania increased by 11%. In
the 1st quarter, the revenue of Delfi Latvia decreased by 5%, but the result
was still better in the light of the possible price shock related to the euro
changeover. The EBITDA figure improved significantly both in Estonia and
Lithuania. In the 1st quarter, the operations in the online media segment were
characterised by focusing in addition on core products also on specialized
verticals. In all three countries we also continued developing portals zave.ee,
zave.lv and zave.lt that publish discount campaign offers of retailers. By the
end of the 1st quarter, the fastest-growing of the three was Zave in Estonia
with more than 20 different retailers in their system.
The periodicals segment is characterised by weak print advertising market that
is partly being off-set by revenue from subscriptions and single-copy sales. In
the segment, the revenue of AS Eesti Ajalehed increased by 9% and EBITDA
improved by 82%. The growth is largely attributable to an increase in cover
prices in both retail sales and subscriptions, as well as the success in
criminal novels series. Because of the popularity of the book series, it was
decided to extend it by 10 titles. The digital subscriptions of Eesti Ekspress
and Eesti Päevaleht have also strongly increased as compared to the year
earlier, by 98% and 134%, respectively, reaching 7 thousand subscribers by the
end of the quarter. In the 1st quarter, the first digital subscriptions for
Maaleht were sold and by the end of the quarter, Maaleht had approximately 3.5
thousand paying digital subscribers. In the periodicals segment, the revenue of
AS SL Õhtuleht and AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus also increased moderately. The
EBITDA of AS SL Õhtuleht for the quarter was 12% lower than a year earlier,
whereas the EBITDA of AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus was 1.5 times higher as compared
to the year before, reaching EUR 10 thousand in profit in absolute figures. The
book publishing enterprise OÜ Hea Lugu earned 20% higher EBITDA year-over-year,
whereas AS Express Post increased its profit by 14%. The Lithuanian magazine
publishing company ended the first quarter with a loss of EUR 29 thousand.
In January, Eesti Päevaleht underwent modernisation and separate topical days
were launched. Every day, four final pages are dedicated to one specific topic
(sports, business, science, health and consumers, respectively). Maakodu
(Country Home) that this year celebrates its 25th anniversary, has been
published in a new format since March. Changes also concern Eesti Ekspress that
at the end of April will be published on Wednesdays and not on Thursdays, as at
present.<span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span>
Specially should be mentioned our journalists who outperformed the yearly
competition by winning the biggest number of press awards for articles
published in 2013 including the most prestigious one – the Bonnier Award.
In the printing services segment, the revenue of AS Printall increased by 7%
and EBITDA was up by 3%. Estonian revenue increased in the 1st quarter,
decreasing the share of exports by one percentage point to 68%. The breakdown
of exports by countries is constantly changing: in the first quarter, sales to
Finland increased by 58% whereas sales of Russia fell by 33% as compared to the
year before.
On the Group level, the dispute with the competing media enterprise Eesti
Meedia over the realisation of the purchasing right pertaining to the ownership
of joint ventures continued.
In the second quarter, we expect sales to grow moderately by 5% as compared to
the year before, evenly in all segments, and the increase of EBITDA and the net
profit by 10%. Our view for the second quarter does not take into consideration
possible negative developments in our neighbouring economies that may be caused
by the dramatic deterioration of the economic environment.
In the 2nd quarter, the Group’s Lithuanian subsidiaries will be merged into one
media-house. The objective is to strengthen our position and to achieve
synergy both in expenses and in quality. Close cooperation with Lithuania’s
largest advertising network Adnet, in which the acquisition of a minority
ownership is being completed, is expected to help it.
We continue to look for new sources of growth that would help to develop
innovative solutions for our demanding readers and customers. With our
solutions we continue to offer new and interesting experiences both on paper
and in digital media, without compromising on news quality, choice of topics
and journalistic objectivity.

additional ownership interest in Eesti Päevalehe AS. In the 1st quarter of
2011, an additional 50% ownership interest in Eesti Päevalehe AS was acquired.
The transaction was accounted for in two parts: firstly, as the sale of the
current 50% ownership interest on which the net extraordinary gain totalled EUR
1 540 thousand and secondly, as the acquisition of the wholly-owned
subsidiary.</span>

OVERVIEW OF THE SEGMENTS
Since 2009 the Group operates in the following operating segments:
- Online media
- Periodicals (newspapers, magazines and books)
- Printing services.
Cyclicality
All operating areas of the Group are characterised by cyclicality and
fluctuation, related to the changes in the overall economic conditions and
consumer confidence. The Group’s revenue can be adversely affected by an
economic slowdown or recession. It can appear in lower advertising costs in
retail, preference of other advertising channels (e.g. preference of internet
rather than print media) and changes in consumption habits of retail consumers
(following current news in news portals versus reading printed newspapers,
preference of the younger generation to use mobile devices and other
communication channels, etc.).
Seasonality
The revenue from the Group’s advertising sales as well as in the printing
services segment is impacted by major seasonal fluctuations. The level of both
types of revenue is the highest in the 2nd and 4th quarter of each year and the
lowest in the 3rd quarter. Revenue is higher in the 4th quarter because of
higher consumer spending during the Christmas season, accompanied by the
increase in advertising expenditure. Advertising expenditure is usually the
lowest during the summer months, as well as during the first months of the year
following Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.

The segments’ EBITDA does not include intragroup management fees, and
impairment of goodwill and trademarks. Volume-based and other fees payable to
advertising agencies have not been deducted from the advertising sales of
segments, because the management monitors gross advertising sales. Discounts
and rebates are deducted from the consolidated sales revenues and are included
in the combined line of eliminations.

In the 1st quarter, sales and number of users of Delfi continued to grow
strongly both in Estonia and in Lithuania. The sales growth was mainly
attributable to the successful launch of new verticals and topical portals, new
advertising solutions, Delfi TV and the growing use of the mobile app. The
EBITDA of Delfi in Lithuania increased mainly because of higher efficiency of
the sales team, improved customer focus and more active handling of overdue
receivables. The sales and the EBITDA of Delfi in Latvia have decreased as
compared to the year before, but exceeded the budget significantly. We had
budgeted the possible negative impact of the euro changeover, but it turned out
to be smaller than we estimated. On the other hand, the events unfolding in
Ukraine have had an impact and are likely to affect business also in the
future. We believe that initiatives launched all over the Baltic states will
add boost to our growth in Latvia and that this year will generally be more
successful in sales and product development as compared to the year earlier.
Delfi Estonia<span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span>
· Launch of separate Delfi TV on a new platform.
· Delfi Estonia continued live webcasts under the Delfi TV brand. Major
projects included, already for the second year, events dedicated to the
anniversary of the Republic of Estonia, reports from Olympic Games, streams
from basketball matches abroad, etc.
· Websites for weather and jokes were renewed. The latter was re-named
www.igav.ee.
· In connection with launching a new comments’ section, the number of
comments posted by registered users has increased.
· Delfi has received a lot of feedback and support in connection with the
complaint that the Grand Chamber of European Court of Human Rights has decided
to give further examination. AS Delfi continuously is in an opinion that
website owners are not under the obligation to pre-edit user-created content.
The court case started in 2006 when Vjatšeslav Leedo sued Delfi for comments
published at the article „SLK destroys planned ice route“. The article received
a total of 185 readers’ comments, 20 of which Mr. Leedo considered defamatory.
Estonian online readership 2013-2014
The 1st quarter of 2014 has been successful for Delfi. The difference in the
number of users with the competing portal postimees.ee has been stable at more
than 150 thousand unique browsers a week. Also the consumption of news portals
by smartphones continues to increase – in the 1st quarter there were weeks when
the number of mobile users of Delfi has exceeded 330 thousand unique browsers.
This shows that at times 25% of Delfi news is consumed via mobile equipment.
Delfi Latvia
· Delfi TV streams based on a new platform from such events as matches of
the Latvian basketball league and ice hockey league, an exclusive cabaret show
from Concert Hall Palladium, opening of the National Library, etc.
<span style="font-size:11pt;">· </span><span style="font-size:11pt;">New
Latvian-language and Russian-language travel portals, portal for discount
offers </span><span style="font-size:11pt;">www.zave.lv</span><span

<span style="font-size:11pt;">· </span><span style="font-size:11pt;">In
Q1, the cooking portal </span><span
style="font-size:11pt;">www.tasty.lv</span><span style="font-size:11pt;"> has
become Latvia’s largest and most popular recipe portal.</span>

Valentine’s Day, Women’s Day, etc.</span>

- Marketing Festival „Password“ (media partner),
- Riga Fashion Week (media partner).
Latvian online readership 2013-2014
In the 1st quarter, the users’ activity in news portals was again very high.
This was attributable to the users’ interest to the tragic accident that
happened in Riga in November and the escalation of events in Ukraine.
The number of unique visitors of Delfi has been growing sharply during last few
months. Delfi is close to get the biggest portal of Latvia and based on the
March statistics there is only 20 thousand real users that inbox.lv has more
than Delfi. Taking into the account that these figures do not consist mobile
users it is fair to assume that with mobile traffic Delfi would be the biggest
portal in Latvia.
In the 1st quarter, the most important event on the market was the acquisition
of Apollo.lv by Tvnet.lv. As a result, Delfi will have a strong competitor in
Latvia.
Starting from January 2014, the method of the Gemius online survey has changed.
The readership in 2014 includes only results for computer users (PC) and
excludes all mobile equipment. Separate statistics on mobile equipment will be
created within 2014.

been losing readers.

It was a challenging quarter for the periodicals segment. Whereas the
advertising market of magazines has been slightly improving, advertising income
of all newspapers is decreasing. Revenue has been maintained by special
projects, book series and also by the increase in cover price, although
circulations are shrinking. The positive factor is the growth in the number of
subscribers, especially in digital subscriptions, that is off-setting the
disappearance of retail locations. The number of digital subscriptions has
increased by 98% for Eesti Ekspress and 134% for Eesti Päevaleht, amounting to
more than 7 thousand subscribers. The series of criminal novels of LP has been
relatively successful, whereas the results of the series of children’s movies
on DVDs is significantly below expectations. We continue to publish more book
titles. “Late-night Textbook of Maths”, a new concept launched at the end of
2013, has been very successful and is now available also electronically for
free.
In cooperation with Ajakirjade Kirjastus, AS SL Õhtuleht has through its
network significantly increased online advertising sales.
In the 1st quarter, Ajakirjade Kirjastus launched new products Kilo&Kalor, a
special supplement of TervisPluss, and Unistuste Pulmad, a special wedding
publication of Anne&Stiil. Special attention has been paid on developing
online portal www.ideesahver.ee and a new parenting portal
www.tarklapsevanem.ee. Significant changes have also been made in the work of
the telemarketing department that should improve future sales results.
Estonian newspaper readership 2013-2014<span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span>
Circulations of Estonian newspapers have remained stable or are falling
moderately. The circulation of daily newspapers is falling faster than that of
weeklies. As at Q1 2014, the highest decline in the circulation was recorded
for Postimees, more than 10% in comparison with Q1 2013. In the 1st quarter
2014, the circulation of largest daily newspapers has fallen by 3% on average.
Weekly newspapers have done relatively well. As for the weekly publications of
Ekspress Grupp, Eesti Ekspress managed to maintain average circulation and
Maaleht being the only larger newspaper that has increased its circulation.
With regard to the publications of Ekspress Grupp, one needs to add also
subscribers of digital newspapers numbering about 7 000 for both Eesti Ekspress
and for Eesti Päevaleht as of the 1st quarter of 2014. The number of digital
subscribers continues to grow.
Estonian newspaper readership 2013-2014
In the 1st quarter of 2014, there were no major changes in the readership of
Estonian newspapers. According to the readership survey of Turu-uuringute AS,
the number of newspaper readers fell by 2% on average in Q1 2014. Monthly
fluctuations have been bigger, but it is attributed mainly to the survey
methods. It should be mentioned that the number of digital newspapers of
Ekspress Grupp is not included in the above figures and the number of readers
of all publications of Ekspress Grupp is higher than shown in the graph.
Printing services segment<span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span>

the largest printing companies in Estonia. Printall is able to print both

In the 1st quarter, the revenue of AS Printall from printing services only
increased by 5.6% and sale of paper increased by 8%. After a long period, the
non-Group sales in Estonia increased, by as much as 20%. This was attributable
to the growth in circulation of existing customers, printing of new
publications and additional new customers. The share of exports in revenue
decreased from 69% to 68%. There have also been significant changes in the
geographical break-down of export markets. The share of Finland and Denmark has
increased, whereas exports to Russia, Norway and Sweden decreased. The Company
continues to increase its productivity. Although the volume of printing
production increased in the 1st quarter, the number of working hours remained
on the same level as compared to the previous year same period.
Printing services and the environment
In addition to its very strong financial position, Printall also focuses on
environmentally conscious production. In 2012, Printall was granted ISO 9001
management and ISO 14001 environmental certificates.<span
style="font-size:11pt;"> </span>
The Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Estonia and the waste
managing company AS Ragn-Sells awarded Printall with the title of the Top
Recycler of the Year, because the company recycles 95% of its waste.
The Nordic Council of Ministers has awarded Printall with the environmental
label “The Nordic Ecolabel”, used to acknowledge the companies in the Nordic
countries that use environmentally efficient production. Printall also has FSC
and PEFC Chain of Custody (COC) certificates, which the company uses to promote
a green way of thinking in the printing industry. Both of those certificates
indicate compliance with monitoring and product production process requirements
which are issued to businesses that comply with the requirements established by
the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and the PEFC (Programme for the
Endorsement of Forest Certification). A business that is issued these
certificates helps to support the environmentally friendly, socially fair and
economically viable management of the world’s forests.
Printall cares about the environment and uses green energy. The POWERED BY
GREEN certificate is a proof that the company buys electricity, 70% of which
has been generated by renewable sources of energy.
