Profit and Loss Statement
3rd quarter 2008
Sales
In the 3rd quarter of 2008 the Company's total sales increased, year on year, by
33.6% to 14.4 mln EUR. Sales from the Company's main operating activities were
11.1 mln EUR. Sales in the main operating activity principally comprise of sales
of water and treatment of wastewater to domestic and commercial customers within
and outside of the service area, and fees received from the City of Tallinn for
operating and maintaining the storm water system.
Sales of water and wastewater services were 10.2 mln EUR, a 10.2% increase
compared to the 3rd quarter of 2007, resulting from the 11.7% increase in
tariffs from 1 January 2008 for the Company's residential and commercial
customers combined with the factors described below.
Included within this amount were the following increases by sector: within the
service area sales to residential customers increased by 8.2% to 5.4 mln EUR.
Sales to commercial customers increased by 8.5% to 4.2 mln EUR. Sales to
customers outside of the service area - primarily bulk volumes of wastewater
treatment services provided to the surrounding municipalities - increased by
62.3% reaching 1.04 mln m3 or 0.47 mln EUR. Over pollution fees received were
0.20 mln EUR, 20.5% increase compared to the 3rd quarter of 2007.
In the 3rd quarter of 2008, the volumes sold to residential customers dropped
3.1% or 224 thousand m3. We believe that this is mainly related to the fact that
people are moving to the surrounding areas of Tallinn.
The volumes sold to commercial customers inside the service area decreased by
2.9% compared to the relevant period in 2007 due to several factors combined.
Part of the reduction in sales volumes in Tallinn is due to companies moving to
the surrounding municipalities, supplemented by companies implementing different
efficiency measures or reducing their production.
The real estate market stays relatively unchanged from last year. Although
slightly lower than in 2007, the number of new apartments and business buildings
being constructed this year in Tallinn remains high. A large share of new
buildings still remain vacant as commercial customers as well as people in need
of space are moving to surrounding areas due to more affordable real estate
prices.
This trend is also reflected in the Company's sales to surrounding areas, which
has increased by 62.3% in the 3rd quarter of 2008 compared to the same period
last year. This reflects the success of the Company's strategy to re-capture
customers leaving Tallinn. The Company is actively looking for the further
expansion opportunities into the neighboring municipalities.
The sales from the operation and maintenance of the storm water and fire-hydrant
system increased by 10.7% to 0.73 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2008 compared to
the same period in 2007. This is in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the contract whereby the storm water and fire hydrant costs are invoiced based
on actual costs and volumes treated. This is contractually agreed up to 2020.
Sales revenues from other operating activities, mainly connections and storm
water construction, totaled 3.3 mln EUR which is 2.5 mln EUR more than in the
3rd quarter of 2007. Before 2008 a considerable amount of works and revenues
were confirmed and recorded in the first quarter. According to the new contract
concluded with the City of Tallinn on 30th November 2007, the revenue flow is
more even throughout the year. Starting from March 2008 the revenue in this line
is mainly calculated using the Tallinn domestic water sales volumes and fixed
development rate per cubic meter, supplemented by the fee payable for the storm
water constructions. This revenue line goes in pairs with the Cost of goods sold
from other operating activities, where the respective costs of the constructions
are recorded.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
The cost of goods sold for the main operating activity was 4.1 mln EUR in the
3rd quarter of 2008, an increase of 0.59 mln EUR or 16.6% from the equivalent
period in 2007.
In the 3rd quarter of 2008 the Company did not record any non-compliant
wastewater samples and as a result of this achieved the beneficial 0.5
coefficient for pollution tax. The pollution tax payable for the 3rd quarter of
2008 was 0.13 mln EUR compared to 0.11 mln EUR in 3rd quarter of 2007. This
increase in pollution tax is due to the combination of the beneficial
coefficient and increase in tax rates year on year by 20%, supplemented by
volume and pollution impact. Despite the fact that the pollution level of the
incoming sewerage does vary and the company does not have full control over
storm water outlets regarding the pollution, we are working hard to use the
optimum level of chemicals to achieve the 0.5 coefficient in the fourth quarter
of 2008.
The chemical costs were 0.42 mln EUR, this represents an 19.9% increase compared
to the corresponding period in 2007. This result is the combination of volumes
treated, chemicals dosed and the price inflation.
Electricity costs increased by 0.08 mln EUR or 18.0% in the 3rd quarter of 2008
compared to the 3rd quarter of 2007 due to higher electricity prices combined
with volumes treated.
Salary expenses increased in the 3rd quarter of 2008, year on year, by 0.19 mln
EUR or 27.3% due to a number of factors. Firstly, increased headcount from the
new services launched. Secondly, a highly competitive labour market has led to
significant salary inflation. Finally in the 1st quarter of 2008 the Company
restructured and combined departments which resulted in transferring cost from
one line to an other. Eliminating these structural changes would give us 19.0%
increase in salaries. This is in line with the increase in average salaries in
the Estonian market.
Depreciation charges increased in the 3rd quarter of 2008 by 0.15 mln EUR or
13.1% year on year due to new sludge treatment building commissioned in the end
of 2007. Also in the beginning of 2008 the depreciation rates were revised to
correspond with the useful life of assets.
Other cost of goods sold in the main operating activity increased by 0.08 mln
EUR, or 11.6% year on year. This was due to higher costs on a number of support
service contracts, such as transport, security services, maintenance cost,
reflecting the significant increase in labour and services costs in Tallinn. But
on the other hand it reflects Company's achievements to reduce costs by
optimizing operations.
The cost pressure sets the challenge to the management to identify the further
efficiency opportunities through review of processes, procedures and
procurements.
As a result of all of the above the Company's gross profit for the 3rd quarter
of 2008 was 7.4 mln EUR, which is an increase of 0.66 mln EUR, or 9.9%, compared
to the gross profit of 6.7 mln EUR for the 3rd quarter of 2007.
Operating Costs and Operating Margin
Marketing expenses decreased by 0.03 mln EUR to 0.18 mln EUR during the 3rd
quarter of 2008 compared to the corresponding period in 2007. This is partly the
result of the structural changes, balanced by the increase in depreciation
charges.
General administration expenses decreased by 0.01 mln EUR to 0.76 mln EUR in the
3rd quarter of 2008 year on year, mainly as a consequence of structural changes.
Included within all the above cost categories are staff costs. These totaled 1.2
mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2008, which is a 0.20 mln EUR or 19.6% increase
compared to the same period in 2007. As mentioned earlier this was mainly due to
the wide revision of salaries at the beginning of 2008.
Other net income/expenses totaled an expense of 0.06 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter
of 2008 compared to an expense of 0.07 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2007.
As a result of all of the above the Company's operating profit for the 3rd
quarter of 2008 was 6.4 mln EUR, an increase of 0.70 mln EUR compared to an
operating profit of 5.7 mln EUR achieved in the 3rd quarter of 2007. Compared to
the operating profit in the 3rd quarter of 2007, the operating profit has
increased 12.4%.
Financial expenses
Net Financial expenses were 0.65 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2008, which is a
decrease of 0.10 mln EUR or 12.9% compared to the 3rd quarter of 2007. The
Company's interest costs have increased by 7.6% compared to the 3rd quarter of
2007. This is due to the increase in the 6 month Euribor rate. The increase in
interest expenses is partially offset by an increase in financial income earned
during the 3rd quarter of 2008, as a result of a more favourable cash position
and increasing interest rates. Also favorable interest SWAP position had a
positive effect of 0.10 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2008.
Profit Before Tax
The Company's profit before taxes for the 3rd quarter of 2008 was 5.7 mln EUR,
which is 0.80 mln EUR higher than the profit before taxes of 4.9 mln EUR for the
3rd quarter of 2007.
Results for the 1st nine months of 2008
During the 1st nine months of 2008 the Company's total sales increased, year on
year, by 21.8% to 42.8 mln EUR. Sales from the Company's main operating
activities were 34.3 mln EUR. Sales of water and wastewater treatment were 31.6
mln EUR, a 10.4% increase compared to the 1st nine months of 2007.
The Company's profit before taxes for the 1st nine months of 2008 was 17.2 mln
EUR, which is 1.2 mln EUR higher than the profit before taxes of 16.1 mln EUR in
the relevant period in 2007. The results for the 1st nine months of 2007 were
impacted by the fact that the Ministry of Environment gave final approval to the
success of the nitrogen project, which resulted in the release of a provision
worth 0.85 mln EUR for environmental taxes. Looking at the underlying profit
before taxes for the 1st nine months of 2007, it shows a 2.0 mln EUR or 13.2%
increase in 2008 for the same period.
Balance sheet
During the 1st nine months of 2008 the Company invested 12.8 mln EUR into fixed
assets. Non-current assets were 140.5 mln EUR at 30 September 2008. Current
assets decreased by 2.5 mln EUR to 21.4 mln EUR in the nine months of the year,
customer receivables decreased by 4.6 mln EUR. During the 1st nine months of
2008 cash at bank increased by 2.1 mln EUR.
Current liabilities increased by 3.9 mln EUR to 16.6 mln EUR in the nine months
of the year. This was mainly due to increases in Current portion of long-term
borrowings by 2.7 mln EUR, as result of the reclassification of the loan based
on repayment schedule.
The company continues to maintain its leverage level within its target range
above 50% with total liabilities to total capital employed of 53.1% as of 30
September 2008. Long-term liabilities stood at 69.3 mln EUR at the end of
September 2008, consisting almost entirely of the outstanding balance on the two
long-term bank loans.
Cash flow
During the 1st nine months of 2008, the Company generated 20.6 mln EUR of cash
flows from operating activities, an increase of 3.4 mln EUR compared to the
corresponding period in 2007. Underlying operating profit continues to be the
main driver for growth, supplemented by debt collection in nine months of 2008.
In the nine months of 2008 net cash inflows from investing activities were 1.6
mln EUR, which is 7.9 mln EUR more than in 2007. This was mainly due to some
large construction revenue invoices that were due and paid in the 1st quarter
2008, offset by increased investment payments. In the 1st nine months the
company invested 12.8 mln EUR - 11.1 mln EUR on networks (including 7.6 mln EUR
on extension and developments), 0.76 mln EUR at Paljassaare wastewater treatment
plant and sludge treatment, 0.38 mln EUR on water quality (Ülemiste water
treatment plant and raw water) and 0.57 mln EUR for other investments (IT,
capital maintenance, meters, etc).
The cash outflows from financing activities were 20.1 mln EUR during the 1st
nine months of 2008 compared to cash outflow of 16.1 mln EUR during the same
nine months of 2007, representing the payouts of the dividend and the income tax
on dividends of respective years.
As a result of all of the above factors, the total cash inflow in the nine
months of 2008 was 2.1 mln EUR compared to a cash outflow of 5.1 mln EUR in the
nine months of 2007. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 13.5 mln EUR as at 30
September 2008.
Employees
At the end of the 3rd quarter of 2008, the number of employees was 323, compared
to 316 at the end of the 3rd quarter of 2007.

Operational highlights in the nine months of 2008
The company implemented the development component in the 1st quarter of 2008
according to the Services Agreement Amendment, which was signed with the City of
Tallinn on 30 November 2007. The Services Agreement is extended until 2020 and
the k-coefficient is also fixed until 2020 - 2% in years 2009 to 2010 and 0% in
years 2011 to 2020. No extra capital expenditures (in addition to maintenance
capex and extensions program agreed in the contract) can be imposed on the
company until 2020. According to the agreement the network extension
constructions must be completed by March 2011. To compensate the Company for the
construction and financing costs, a specific development component is included
into the Tallinn domestic water tariff starting from 1 March 2008 to the end of
2017, and the City of Tallinn will compensate 0.28 mln EUR every month for the
storm water constructions until the end of 2011. The development component shall
be compensated to the customers with direct payment to the company by the City
of Tallinn. The component is bigger during the construction period (0.58 euros
per m3 until 31 December 2011 and 0.39 euros per m3 in years 2012 to 2017).
The Company submitted the application for the tariff increase from 1st January
2009 in the 3rd quarter. The City Government approved the 12.8% tariff increase
for water and wastewater services on 1 October 2008. The tariff increase is
applicable from 1st January 2009 and consists of 11.4% of CPI increase, 2% of
k-coefficient and -0.6% of change of law. The 12.8% tariff increase is
applicable in the main service area and is similar outside the main service
area, depending still on individual contracts with the municipalities.
The usage of the web based self service has increased by more than 2 times
compared to 2007, around 9% of invoices were issued via web.
We are pleased to report the compliance with all requirements of the Levels of
Services established by the contract with City of Tallinn.
In the 3rd quarter we met again all the norms for the pollutants in the waste
water and as result of this the payable pollution tax decreased by 50% compared
to the regular rate, giving 0.12 mln EUR positive impact to the P&L and cash
flows of the company.
We are pleased to report that on 5th August the company concluded an operating
agreement with Maardu City and Maardu Vesi. When the operating contract comes
into force from 1st January 2009, AS Tallinna Vesi shall help AS Maardu Vesi to
