Unaudited financial results of Nordic Fibreboard AS for the second quarter and 6 months of 2022

Teade

MANAGEMENT REPORT

Consolidated  net  sales  for  Q2  2022 were  EUR  3.65 million  (Q2 2021: EUR 2.58
million).  The main business area is the production and wholesale of fibreboard,
which  recorded sales in Q2 2022 of  EUR 3.64 million, an increase of 45% compared
to  Q2  2021. The  remaining  business  area  is  real  estate management of the
property  owned in Suur-Jõe street in Pärnu,  who recorded sales of EUR 9 thousand
in Q2 2022 (Q2 2021: 64 thousand).

The  reason for  the increase  in sales  revenue in  Q2 2022 was  the continuing
strong  demand for  building materials  in the  construction sector and a higher
production  volume  compared  to  the  Q2  2021. Production  was running at full
capacity  and delivery times to our key customers was on average 3 months, which
has  been the  norm during  the last  2 years. Real  estate management  lost its
largest  tenant end of last year, which thus  resulted in less sales in Q2 2022
compared to Q2 2021.

The consolidated EBITDA of Nordic Fibreboard for Q2 2021 was EUR 624 thousand, the
EBITDA  margin was 17% (Q2 2021: EBITDA was EUR 502 thousand and the EBITDA margin
was  19%).  Compared to the Q2 2021 the Group`s gross margin decreased from 37%
to  30% in the Q2 2022. The  main reason for this  reduction in profitability is
due  to  the  sharp  increase  in  raw  material costs, ie woodchips and energy,
experienced during 2022.

In  the  Q2  2022, a  total  financial  income  of  EUR  82 thousand was recorded,
consisting  of financial income of EUR  105 thousand from dividend from the shares
of  Trigon  Property  Development  (TPD),  EUR  12 thousand  from profits from the
revaluation  of these shares,  and financial costs  of EUR 35 thousand.  In the Q2
2021, the  financial  income  of  EUR  227 thousand  consisted  of profit from the
revaluation  of  TPD  shares  of  EUR  257 thousand,  and financial costs of EUR 30
thousand.

Group`s  consolidated net profit for Q2 2022 was EUR 580 thousand (Q2 2021: profit
EUR 606 thousand).

NORDIC FIBREBOARD LTD: FIBREBOARD PRODUCTION AND SALES

Fibreboard  sales in  Q2 2022 were  EUR 3.64 million  (2021: EUR  2.51 million). The
order  backlog remained  strong throughout  Q2 2022 reflecting  the strong local
markets,  however we are keeping  in close touch with  existing customers in far
away  markets, which resulted in  some sales to Asia  and Middle East. During Q2
2022, we  increased the prices of our products to compensate for the increase in
raw materials prices and energy costs.

The  biggest increase  in sales  growth in  Q2 2022 came  from strong  sales and
volume  growth in our  three largest markets,  these being Finland, Denmark, and
Estonia.  Sales to Russia  ended in May  2022 due to the  sanctions imposed as a
result of Russia's war on Ukraine.

The operating profitability, ie EBITDA, of the fibreboard activities in Q2 2022
was  EUR 635 thousand, an increase  of 22% compared to the  same period last year.
Fibreboard  division's net profit  for Q2 2022 was  EUR 592 thousand (Q2 2021: net
profit EUR 603 thousand).

OUTLOOK

NORDIC FIBREBOARD LTD

Demand  for  fibreboards  was  strong  during  Q2 2022 and the outlook near term
indicate that demand is still good despite the current market uncertainty driven
by  higher  energy  costs  and  an  increased  interest  rate  environment.  Our
relatively inexpensive fibreboards, with its green credentials, should provide a
somewhat  good  hedge  against  any  future  softening  of the building material
markets.  Nordic Fibreboard's extensive customer  reach on several continents is
also a comforting factor when looking ahead.

The management is in process of securing financing for a new biomass boiler, the
objective  being to  improve the boiler house`s  energy and resource use , which
would  improve the efficiency of  using wood fuel and  reduce air emissions. The
goal  of Nordic Fibreboard`s is  to improve the company`s  current energy use so
that it can operate more efficiently and environmentally friendly in the future.

PÄRNU RIVERSIDE DEVELOPMENT

We  will continue  to manage  and develop  the property  on Suur-Jõe Street 48,
Pärnu.  A  detail  plan  for  the  property  is  ongoing,  with the intention of
converting the property into a private residential property.
