Nurminen Logistics Plc announced on 11 September 2015 that the company has concluded an agreement for selling Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy’s shares to Transport Company Ville Silvasti Oy. Share transaction has been validated on 30 September 2015 and the responsibility of Nurminen Logistics Heavy’s operations will be transferred to Transport Company Ville Silvasti as of 1 October 2015. The transaction has no significant impact on Nurminen Logistics’ result in 2015 or on Group’s consolidated balance sheet. The operations of Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy have been taken into account in full in the interim report for the third quarter. MARKO TUUNAINEN, PRESIDENT AND CEO: “The development of the company’s operating result and net sales in the third quarter varied greatly between business units. The demand for forwarding services remained at a good level in Finland during the review period, and the service area’s net sales and result remained good. Favourable trends in the flow of goods, particularly through the Vuosaari harbour, along with new clients and previously implemented efficiency improvement measures give reason for confidence regarding the continued positive development of Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit’s Finnish operations. The operating result of the unit’s Baltic companies, however, declined substantially compared to both the previous quarters and the previous year. Business environment of the Baltic companies is expected to remain challenging during the rest of the year. The demand for the Railway Logistics business unit’s services was weak in Finland during the review period. The poor demand for the Finnish forestry and mechanical engineering industries in Russia had a negative impact on the unit’s net sales and result. The development of railway transport within Russia was more stable during the review period, but the significantly depreciated rouble had a negative impact on the reported net sales. Fluctuations in the value of the rouble have a significant effect on the Railway Logistics business unit’s net sales and result, and the future development of the rouble exchange rate is difficult to predict. The Special Transports and Projects business unit’s special transport business was in line with targets during the review period, while the postponement of project start-ups weighed down the result of the project business. Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy, the Group’s subsidiary operating in the special transport and project business, was sold in a share transaction finalised on 1 October 2015. The project business remains under Nurminen Logistics’ ownership, although its net sales were low during the review period. The order backlog of previously agreed projects has not yet been realised as the projects are on hold until the general investment climate improves, particularly in the CIS countries. The company continues rationalizing its cost structure and profitability of all offices and services are monitored thoroughly. The company’s financial position remained moderate in spite of the challenging business environment. Previously concluded new property agreements and efficiency improvement measures have strengthened the company’s cash flow,” says Marko Tuunainen, President and CEO. MARKET SITUATION IN THE REVIEW PERIOD The third quarter of 2015 was weaker than the previous two quarters with respect to market conditions. The economic situation in Russia and the global demand for capital goods, in China, for example, was weaker than in the first half of the year. This was reflected as a decline in Finnish exports, even compared to the low levels recorded last year. However, exports of pulp and cardboard, in particular, remained at a good level and the company has a strong position and good clients in this segment. NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2015 The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 34.2 million (2014: EUR 40.8 million), which represents a decrease of 16% compared to 2014. The reported operating result was EUR -1,328 (-115) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR -127 (-174) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR -1,201 (59) thousand. The non-recurring items in the review period were related to reductions in personnel. The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period increased the company’s financial items by EUR 58 thousand. This exchange rate loss had no cash flow impact. Railway Logistics The Railway Logistics business unit’s net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 9,664 (2014: 14,124) thousand and the operating result was EUR 58 (972) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR -60 (-85) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 118 (1,057) thousand. The operating result includes exchange rate gains on internal purchase invoices at the amount of EUR 0.2 million. The net sales and operating result of the Railway Logistics business unit showed a significant year-on-year decline in the review period, particularly due to lower transport volumes in traffic between Finland and Russia, as well as the weak rouble. The depreciation of the rouble had a negative impact of EUR 2.7 million on net sales and a negative impact of EUR 0.6 million on the operating result compared to the corresponding period last year. Special Transports and Projects The Special Transports and Projects business unit’s net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 5,131 (2014: 6,234) thousand and the operating result was EUR 76 (143) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 0 (0) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 76 (143) thousand. The business unit’s net sales declined significantly due to a decrease in volumes in project transport. Substantial fluctuations in volumes are typical of the project business. The decline in volumes had an impact on the operating result, which nevertheless showed a clear profit due to efficiency improvement measures in production operations. Forwarding and Value Added Services The net sales of the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit for the review period amounted to EUR 19,791 (2014: 20,918) thousand and the operating result was EUR -1,462 (-1,230) thousand. The operating result includes non -recurring items of EUR -67 (-89) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR -1,395 (-1,141) thousand. The business unit’s net sales and operating result declined year-on-year, primarily due to weaker demand among the Group’s subsidiaries in the Baltic countries. The development of the net sales and result of the Baltic companies has been substantially lower than in the previous year due to the difficult market situation and the uncertainty caused by Russia. The net sales of the Baltic companies decreased by EUR 0.7 million, while their operating result declined by EUR 0.5 million year-on-year. The break -bulk cargo business at the Vuosaari terminal was at a higher level than in the comparison period, and pulp, paper and forest industry volumes at the Vuosaari terminal grew compared to both the previous quarter and the comparison period. Demand for services at the Kotka, Hamina and Luumäki terminals was weaker than in the comparison period. Demand for forwarding services remained stable. +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |NET SALES BY UNIT |1-9/2015|1-9/2014|1-12/2014| +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |EUR 1,000 | | | | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Railway Logistics |9,664 |14,124 |17,935 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Special Transports and Projects |5,131 |6,234 |7,794 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Forwarding and Value Added Services|19,791 |20,918 |27,778 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Eliminations |-354 |-453 |-734 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Total |34,232 |40,823 |52,774 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |OPERATING RESULT BY UNIT |1-9/2015|1-9/2014|1-12/2014| +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |EUR 1,000 | | | | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Railway Logistics |58 |972 |2,686 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Special Transports and Projects |76 |143 |163 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Forwarding and Value Added Services|-1,462 |-1,230 |-1,521 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ |Total |-1,328 |-115 |1,328 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+---------+ NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JULY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2015 The net sales for the third quarter amounted to EUR 11.1 million (2014: EUR 12.6 million), which represents a decrease of 11% compared to 2014. The reported operating result was EUR 1 (234) thousand. The operating result includes non -recurring items of EUR 0 (0) thousand. The operating result for the third quarter was improved by unrealised exchange rate gains resulting from the depreciation of the Russian rouble by EUR 0.9 million. The net sales of Railway Logistics declined year-on-year, primarily due to the depreciation of the rouble. The decline in net sales was also attributable to lower volumes between Finland and Russia. Compared to the corresponding period last year, the value of the rouble had a negative impact of EUR 0.9 million on net sales and a positive impact of EUR 0.3 million on the operating result. The net sales of the Special Transports and Projects increased compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The business unit’s operating result also improved due to growth in special transport services and the lower proportion of the project business. In Forwarding and Value Added Services, net sales and the operating result declined in the third quarter year-on-year. The unfavourable development of the result was primarily attributable to the weak demand of the Baltic companies, which was due to the difficult market situation and the uncertainty caused by Russia. The net sales of the Baltic companies decreased by EUR 0.3 million, while their operating result declined by EUR 0.2 million year-on-year. The profit development of the business unit’s Finnish operations was good during the review period, particularly due to the improved profitability of the Vuosaari terminal. +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |NET SALES BY UNIT |7-9/2015|7-9/2014|Change| +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |EUR 1,000 | | | | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Railway Logistics |3,007 |4,005 |-998 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Special Transports and Projects |1,882 |1,673 |209 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Forwarding and Value Added Services|6,360 |6,960 |-600 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Eliminations |-114 |-71 |-43 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Total |11,135 |12,567 |-1,432| +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |OPERATING RESULT BY UNIT |7-9/2015|7-9/2014|Change| +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |EUR 1,000 | | | | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Railway Logistics |898 |468 |430 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Special Transports and Projects |-26 |-58 |33 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Forwarding and Value Added Services|-871 |-175 |-696 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ |Total |1 |234 |-233 | +-----------------------------------+--------+--------+------+ OUTLOOK Nurminen Logistics expects its market conditions during the end of the year to be similar to the third quarter. Nurminen Logistics expects its net sales, operating result without exchange rate changes and earnings per share to decline significantly from the 2014 levels. The main reasons for decline in net sales are sale of Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy’s shares and the depreciation of the rouble. If realised, the planned fleet sales will have a positive impact on cash flow and financial position. The effect of fleet sales on the result depends on the rouble exchange rate at the time of the transaction. The predictability of the operating result involves significant uncertainty due to the development of the rouble exchange rate in the end of the year. Exchange rate fluctuations have a significant impact on the reported net sales and operating result. The company’s long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market, on average by over 15% per year. Going forward, over 50% of net sales will come from the growth markets of Russia and its neighbouring countries. The company’s further long-term goals are to improve profitability, achieve an operating profit level of 10 per cent and return on equity of 20 per cent. SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES A significant decline of the Finnish economy and the Russian economy compared to the current situation would have a negative impact on the company’s operations and result. The company has already taken steps to react to the Ukrainian crisis, which means that the further escalation of the crisis would only impact the company through the weakening of the Finnish economy and the Russian economy. Significant fluctuations in the rouble exchange rate have an impact on the Group’s reported result and financial position. More detailed information about risk management can be found on Investors page on Nurminen Logistics’ website www.nurminenlogistics.com. The company has received a total of 32 subsequent levy decisions from the National Board of Customs’ Eastern District Office in Lappeenranta, which state that the company and VG Cargo Plc, which has filed for bankruptcy, are liable to pay import taxes from the year 2009. The company’s liability for the import taxes is, at a maximum, EUR 0.5 million. The company does not consider itself liable for the aforementioned import taxes and has not recorded provisions for the associated costs. If there is a case for subsequent levy, the company’s view is that the levy should primarily be directed at the bankruptcy estate of VG Cargo Plc and be paid from its valid customs guarantee. The company has filed an appeal with the Helsinki District Court against the subsequent levy decisions made by the National Board of Customs. FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET The company’s cash flow from operations was EUR 1,097 thousand. Cash flow from investments was EUR 267 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR 1,891 thousand. At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 4,790 thousand. The company’s financial position is moderate. The company’s financial position has improved as a result of the sale of Nurminen Logistics Heavy Oy and the property arrangement and share issue announced on 4 June 2015. If realised, the planned wagon fleet sales will stabilize company’s financial position. Liquidity remained satisfactory in the review period. On 27 February 2015, Nurminen Logistics signed a 12-month financing agreement relating to its continuing business operations with its financing banks. The financing agreement includes covenants that are assessed on a quarterly basis. The covenants of the Group’s loans from financial institutions, namely the ratio of net debt to operating margin and the equity ratio, were breached as of the interim report date of 30 September 2015. The Group has received a commitment from its creditors confirming that the breach of the covenants in the third quarter will not have any consequences on the Group. The company is negotiating long-term financing method which will enable the development of operations. Nurminen Logistics Plc has agreed with Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company on an arrangement concerning the lease payment schedule of terminals located at the Vuosaari harbor as well as in Luumäki, Niirala and Vainikkala. A proportion of leases allocated for years 2015–2021 will, as an advanced payment, be paid to Ilmarinen by means of 13.5 million euro loans granted by Ilmarinen to the company. The rest of the originally agreed lease will yet be paid during the lease period. As part of the agreement related to the lease payments, Nurminen Logistics Plc arranged a 1.7 million euro share issue. The Board of Directors of Nurminen Logistics Plc decided on a directed share issue in order to allow the immediate implementation of the agreement and to minimize the arrangement costs. The decision on the share issue is based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 7 April 2015. In the share issue, a maximum total of 1,416,668 new shares in the company were offered, in deviation from the shareholders’ pre-emptive right, for subscription to certain members of the Board of Directors and the President and CEO of the company and/or the companies, in which they exercise control. The shares were subscribed as follows: Juha Nurminen and JN Uljas Oy, in which he exercises control, 1,291,667 shares in total, and Jukka Nurminen, Tero Kivisaari and Russian Capital Management Oy, in which Olli Pohjanvirta exercises control, each 41,667 shares. The Group’s interest-bearing debt totalled EUR 33.0 million, while net interest -bearing debt amounted to EUR 28.2 million. The agreement with Ilmarinen Mutual Pension Insurance Company signed in June concerning the lease payment schedule of terminals located at the Vuosaari harbor as well as in Luumäki, Niirala and Vainikkala increased company’s long-term net interest-bearing debt by EUR 13.5 million.

Nurminen Logistics Heavy will move into the possession of Transport Company Ville Silvasti on 1 October 2015. With the transaction, Ville Silvasti will become the largest company in Finland to offer special transport services. The transaction has no significant impact on Nurminen Logistics’ result in 2015.
