Says Jukka Ruusunen, President and CEO of Fingrid, about the interim report:
"Electricity consumption remains at the same level"
"During the first half of the year, electricity consumption remained at last year's level.
The first half's operative profit was enhanced by the grid tariff increases implemented at the beginning of the year, and by the decrease in imbalance power purchase costs and loss energy expenses in comparison with last year. The congestion income based on the area price difference between Finland and Sweden decreased from last year by 10 million euros. The costs of reserves increased by 14 million euros during the review period due to the additional reserve purchases made to improve frequency quality. The company has traditionally accounted losses for the second quarter because of the decreases in tariffs and electricity consumption rates after the winter season."
Fingrid Group's interim report 1 January - 30 June 2013
Accounting principles
Fingrid's interim report has been drawn up in accordance with standard IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In this interim report, Fingrid has followed the same principles as in the annual financial statements for 2012.
Financial result
The Group's revenue for the second quarter of the year was 110 million euros (93 million euros during the corresponding period in 2012). Other operating income was 2 million euros (1 million euros).
The Group's revenue for the period January – June was 280 million euros (262 million euros during the corresponding period in 2012). Other operating income was 3 million euros (1 million euros).
The grid service income of the Group rose to 173 million euros (145 million euros) as a result of the tariff increase of 15 per cent carried out at the beginning of the year. Electricity consumption remained at the previous year's level and was 43,4 TWh (43,6 TWh). The sales of imbalance power were 75 million euros (76 million euros). Cross-border transmission income on the connection between Finland and Russia rose to 8 million euros (6 million euros). Fingrid's congestion income between Finland and Sweden decreased significantly, to 5 million euros (15 million euros).
The purchase costs of imbalance power were 59 million euros, significantly less than last year (68 million euros), which improved the profit for the financial period. Loss energy costs decreased to 27 million euros (31 million euros) due to smaller losses compared with the reference period. At the end of June, 97 per cent of Fingrid's projected loss energy procurement for the remaining part of 2013 had been hedged at an average price of 47.3 euros per megawatt hour.
The costs of reserves, which safeguard the system security of the power system,increased by 14 million euros during the review period due to the increased market prices of reserves and the additional reserve purchases made to improve frequency quality. Depreciations totalled 40 million euros (37 million euros). Maintenance management costs totalled 9 million euros (10 million euros). Personnel costs remained at the previous year's level.

*Fingrid's income from the congestion income between Finland and Estonia was 2.2 million euros. The costs (grid rents between Finland and Estonia) were 2.2 million euros, which was paid to the owners of the transmission connection. The difference received by Fingrid is created during disturbances on the Estlink connection (no disturbance occurred between January and June 2013).
** The peak load capacity income and costs are related to the securing of the sufficiency of electricity during peak consumption hours within the framework of the Finnish Peak Load Capacity Act.
The operating profit of the Group between January and June was 69 million euros (49 million euros), which contains -4 million euros (-9 million euros) of changes in the fair value of commodity derivatives. The profit before taxes was 53 million euros (43 million euros). The profit for the financial period was 40 million euros (32 million euros) and the consolidated total comprehensive income was 36 million euros (35 million euros). The Group's net cash flow from the operating activities deducted by net cash flow from investing activities was 39 million euros positive (43 million euros). The equity ratio of the Group was 28.9 per cent (26.2 per cent) at the end of the review period.
The Group's profit for the financial period is characterised by seasonal fluctuations, which is why the profit for the financial year cannot be directly estimated on the basis of the six-month profit for the financial period.
Capital expenditure
The company's investment programme is proceeding according to plan. The ongoing projects include the EstLink 2 submarine cable between Finland and Estonia, the Ulvila–Kristinestad transmission line, and the Hyvinkää–Hikiä transmission line. The final sub-project of the major transmission line project Ylikkälä-Huutokoski from Lappeenranta to Joroinen, the Ylikkälä -Visulahti section, was inaugurated in May.
Fingrid will continue to make substantial grid investments in the future years, as well. Fingrid has decided to invest in building a 110-kV switchgear in Pyhävesi. The new switchgear will clarify the network usage in the region and improve reliability. Moreover, the investment enables connecting the customer's new 110 kV substations to the network and building a transmission line from Mäntyharju to Joutsa.
This spring, Fingrid made procurement decisions concerning the contracts of the Vähänummi 110 kV and Ontojoki 110 kV substations. The main contractor in both projects is Infratek Finland Oy. The procurement decision concerning the alterations of the Imatra – Luukkala transmission line was made in April. The contractor in charge of the line transfer in the Saimaa Canal area in Lappeenranta is Eltel Networks Oy.
The extensive five-year project dealing with power lines' stay cable corrosion was completed in May. In the project, approximately 2,200 grid network line supports were dug up, several worn components were replaced and new work methods were developed.
Two serious accidents happened during the implementation of the last phase of the Ylikkälä – Huutokoski project: one involved the death of a service provider's employee, and in the other accident, three service provider's employees sustained injuries. Investigations of the cases and measures to prevent similar accidents from recurring were immediately initiated.
In the beginning of April, Fingrid released the national 10-year plan for the grid network as part of the European electricity network planning process. This plan contains detailed descriptions of Fingrid's major projects, i.e. the so-called basic grid network solutions. Furthermore, Fingrid is planning to develop the grid network's cross-border transmission capacity from Finland to the neighbouring countries.
The net investments of the Group during the second quarter were 29 million euros (38 million euros). The net investments of the Group between January and June were 64 million euros (57 million euros).
In June, Fingrid earned the asset management certificate PAS55 (Publicly Available Specification 55) for another three-year period. The certification company Lloyd's Register stated that Fingrid's asset management was at a very high level, even on the international scale. Fingrid was also successful in the ITAMS (International Transmission Asset Management Study) study measuring the maturity and efficiency of asset management and reached the Best Performer class again.
Power system
Electricity consumption in Finland between April and June totalled 18.9 terawatt hours (19.0TWh) during the corresponding period in 2012). Between January and June, electricity consumption in Finland totalled 43.4 terawatt hours (43.6 TWh). A total of 32.5 TWh of electricity was transmitted in Fingrid's grid during the same period, representing 75 per cent of the electricity consumption in Finland.
Electricity transmissions between Finland and Sweden consisted mainly of imports to Finland. The limitation of Fenno-Skan 1 connection was extended until 1st September 2014, because the investigation of cable failure needs wider and more exhaustive tests than anticipated earlier. During the limitation Fenno-Skan 1 capacity will be limited to 400 MW on May - September and to 450 MW on October - April.
The transmission capacity of the Fenno-Skan 1 interconnection was limited to 400 megawatts until 1 Sept. 2014 due to the testing required to determine the reason for the cable failure that occurred in February.
Between April and June, 2.6 TWh of electricity were imported from Sweden to Finland (3.7 TWh), and 0.3 TWh (0.1 TWh) were exported from Finland to Sweden. Between January and June, 4.8 TWh of electricity were imported from Sweden to Finland (6.9 TWh), and 0.6 TWh (0.2 TWh) were exported from Finland to Sweden.
In the electricity transmissions between Finland and Estonia, imports and exports have alternated in terms of domination. Between April and June, the volume of electricity imported from Estonia was 0.2 TWh (0.1 TWh), and 0.3 TWh (0.4 TWh) were exported from Finland to Estonia. The volume of electricity imported from Estonia to Finland between January and June was 0.4 TWh (0.2 TWh), and 0.6 TWh (0.8 TWh) were exported from Finland to Estonia.
The electricity transmission capacity from Russia to Finland has been fully availably, but electricity import from Russia has remained at low levels, as was also the case last year. Between April and June, 0.9 TWh (0.6 TWh) of electricity were imported from Russia to Finland, and between January and June the import volume was 2.7 TWh (2.6 TWh).
An unusual disturbance occurred in the grid network during the review period, as all three HVDC links – Fenno-Skan 1, Fenno-Skan 2 and Estlink 1 – fell out of use within half an hour in the morning of 3 June 2013. Due to this interruption, gas turbines were run up and special adjustments were made in the power system. The disturbance did not affect end users.

Electricity market
The average price (system price) in the Nordic electricity exchange during the second quarter was 38.75 €/MWh (28.42 €/MWh during the corresponding period in 2012), and the area price for Finland was 39.93 €/MWh (32.42 €/MWh). Between January and June, the average price in the Nordic spot market was 40.37 €/MWh (33.44 €/MWh), and the area price for Finland was 41.01 €/MWh (37.45 €/MWh).
The integration of the Baltic region to the Nordic electricity market proceeded when Nord Pool Spot opened the Latvian Elspot market in the beginning of June. This also connects the Lithuanian bidding area to the Nordic markets. Latvia and Lithuania intend to open the Elbas intraday market at the end of this year.
Fingrid's counter trade costs between January and June were approximately 0.5 million euros (2.8 million euros).

Financing
The financial position of the Group continued to be satisfactory. The net financial costs of the Group were 10 million euros during the review period of April – June (2 million euros). The net financial costs between January and June were 17 million euros (7 million euros), including the negative change of 7 million euros (5 million euros positive) in the fair value of derivatives. Financial assets recognised at fair value in the income statement, and cash and cash equivalents amounted to 215 million euros (256 million euros) at 30 June 2013. Moreover, the company has an undrawn revolving credit facility of 250 million euros.
The interest-bearing borrowings totalled 1,192 million euros (1,236 million euros), of which 1,018 million euros (1,078 million euros) were long-term and 174 million euros (159 million euros) were short-term.
The counterparty risk involved in the derivative contracts relating to financing was 50 million euros (69 million euros).
Personnel
The total personnel of the Fingrid Group averaged 275 (267) during the review period.
Auditing
The consolidated figures in this Interim Report are unaudited.
Annual General Meeting
Fingrid Oyj's Annual General Meeting took place in Helsinki on 27 May 2013. The General Meeting accepted the financial statements for 2012, confirmed the income statement and balance sheet, and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO from liability.
The Annual General Meeting elected Helena Walldén (M.Sc., Tech.) as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Juha Majanen (Budget Counsellor, Ministry of Finance) as the Deputy Chairman. The other members of the Board of Directors are Sirpa Ojala, CEO of Digita Networks Oy, Matti Rusanen, Head of Listed Securities, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company, and Esko Torsti, Head of Non-listed Investments, Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company.
Events after review period and outlook for the remaining part of the year
The Finnish Parliament passed the bill for the new Electricity Markets Act in June 2013. The Act stipulates the separating of grid ownership and amends the definition of grid. In addition, it contains a clause on the area of responsibility of the grid owner with system responsibility. The Act also contains more detailed stipulations about grid development and the transparency of the grid owner's investment plans.
No substantial events or changes have occurred in Fingrid's operations or financial standing after the end of the financial period.
The company raised its tariffs by 15 per cent as of 1 Jan. 2013. The company proceeds with the implementation of its long-term 1.7-billion euro investment programme. Investments will be financed by increased external funding.
Fingrid Group's profit for the financial year 2013 before taxes and without the change in the fair value of derivatives is expected to increase slightly from the previous year. The uncertainty involved in electricity consumption, congestion income and in cross-border income on the interconnections from Russia makes it difficult to anticipate Fingrid’s financial result for the entire year.

Fair value measurement of assets and liabilities are categorised in a three-level hierarchy in the fair value presentation. The appropriate hierarchy is based on the input data of the instrument. The level is determined on the basis of the lowest level of input for the instrument in its entirety that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Level 1: inputs are publicly quoted in active markets.
Level 2: inputs are not publicly quoted and are observerable market parameters either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: inputs are unobserverable market parameters.
