Profit and Loss Statement
3rd quarter 2007
Sales
In the 3rd quarter of 2007 the Company's total sales increased, year on year, by
13.1% to 10.8 mln EUR. Sales from the Company's main operating activities were
10 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 services area, and fees received from the City of Tallinn for
operating and maintaining the stormwater system.
Sales of water and wastewater treatment were 9.2 mln EUR, a 7.6% increase
compared to the third quarter of 2006, resulting from the 10.8% increase in
tariffs from 1 January 2007 for the Company's residential and commercial
customers.
Included within this amount were the following increases by sector: Sales to
residential customers increased by 9.9% to 4.95 mln EUR. Sales to commercial
customers within the service area increased by 4.3% to 3.8 mln EUR. Sales to
commercial customers outside of the service area - primarily bulk volumes of
wastewater treatment services provided to the surrounding municipalities -
increased by 43.6% reaching 637 000 m3 or 0.3 mln EUR. Overpollution fees
received were 0.04 mln EUR lower than in the 3rd quarter of 2006.
In the third quarter of 2007, the volumes sold to residential customers were
influenced by the seasonality factor. As the third quarter of 2007 was
extraordinary rainy compared to same period in 2006, the usage of gardening
water was relatively lower, reflecting in lower sales. This loss of sales is to
some extent (+0.13 mln EUR extra sales as specified below) recovered in the
stormwater disposal and firehydrant services line, as due to the rainy season,
the treatment volumes of stormwater increased.
The volumes sold to commercial customers inside the service area decreased
compared to the relevant period in 2006 due to several factors combined. Most of
the volumes lost in Tallinn are due to companies moving to the surrounding
municipalities, attracted by cheaper real estate prices. Most of these customers
are re-captured through the bulk-supply contracts signed with the surrounding
municipalities. In the 2nd quarter of 2007, one of the Company's biggest
industrial customers moved its facilities out of our area, resulting in a volume
loss of 56 000 m3 in the 3rd quarter only. We have recognised that the external
factors such as the “bronze night” event and a heat on the real estate market
have had their negative effect on the overall economy and also to the Company's
commercial sales.
The statistics show, that following the “bronze night” event in April, the
tourist flow to Tallinn has slowed down. Tourists are an important consumer
group for the Company, who use the water and wastewater services through the
commercial customers (hotels, restaurants, SPAs etc). Also the real estate
market seems to have reached a point of stagnation. Even though the number of
new apartments and business buildings constructed in Tallinn has continued to
increase, a large share of new buildings 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 43.6% compared to the same
period last year.
The sales from the operation and maintenance of the stormwater and firehydrant
system increased by 24.5% to 0.7 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2007 compared to
the same period in 2006. This is in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the contract whereby the stormwater and firehydrant costs are invoiced based on
actual volumes treated. This is contractually agreed up to 2015.
Sales revenues from other operating activities, at 0.7 mln EUR (mainly
connections and stormwater construction) were 0.45 mln EUR higher than in the
3rd quarter of 2006.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
The cost of goods sold for the main operating activity was 3.5 mln EUR in the
3rd quarter of 2007, an increase of 0.15 mln EUR or 4.4% from the equivalent
period in 2006.
In the 3rd quarter of 2007 the Company has for the third successive quarter
recorded zero failures in all pollution measures taken, and as a result the
amount of pollution tax payable reduced by 0.1 mln EUR.
The increase in chemical costs was due to larger amount of wastewater treated in
the 3rd quarter of 2007 compared to the 3rd quarter of 2006, which was partly
balanced by relatively low methanol prices in the 3rd quarter. The chemical
costs were 0.35 mln EUR, which represents an 11.6% increase compared to the
corresponding period in 2006.
Electricity costs increased by 0.06 mln EUR or 16.1% due to higher electricity
prices and increased volume of wastewater treated in the 3rd quarter of 2007
compared to the 3rd quarter of 2006.
Salaries expenses increased by 0.02 mln EUR or 3.3%. As a consequence of the
highly competitive labour market and rapidly growing salaries. The salaries
increase is still in all categories below the overall increase in average
salaries in Estonian market, which according to the latest statistics has
increased by more than 20% year on year. In late 2006 all the Company's salaries
were reviewed and increased to ensure competitiveness in the market and retain
key personnel. However, the figure also reflects the efficiencies made from
improvements in working practices that have led to a decrease in the headcount.
In the 3rd quarter of 2007, the average number of people working for the Company
was 313 people, compared to 319 people in the 3rd quarter of 2006.
Other cost of goods sold in the main operating activity increased by 0.15 mln
EUR, or 30% year on year. In the 3rd quarter other costs increased due to
increased costs on a number of support services contracts, such as transport,
security services reflecting the significant increase in labour costs in
Tallinn.
As a result of all of the above the Company's gross profit for the 3rd quarter
of 2007 was 6.7 mln EUR, which represents an increase of 0.8 mln EUR, or 13,4%,
compared to the gross profit of 5.9 mln EUR for the 3rd quarter of 2006.
Operating Costs and Operating Margin
Marketing expenses increased by 0.06 mln EUR to 0.2 mln EUR during the 3rd
quarter of 2007 compared to the corresponding period in 2006. At the beginning
of July 2007, the company formed a new business unit focusing on new business
development. The increase in depreciation charges accounted within marketing
expenses is due to the inclusion of the depreciation related to the completion
of the last stage of implementation of the Customer Information and Billing
system (KLIF).
General administration expenses increased by 0.06 mln EUR to 0.8 mln EUR in the
3rd quarter of 2007 as a consequence of an increase in salaries and other
general administration expenses. Approximately 0.03 mln EUR accounted for
switching from owning the computers into the lease contracts as well as
outsourcing the maintenance of software development - a corresponding reduction
can be found in the depreciation charge. In addition to these changes there
were higher technical services agreement and legal services costs.
Included within the above cost categories are staff costs. These totaled 1 mln
EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2007, which is a 0.04 mln EUR or 4.2% increase
compared to the same period in 2006, which as mentioned earlier was due to of
the company wide revision of salaries.
Other net income/expenses totalled a cost of 0.07 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of
2007 compared to a cost of 0.04 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2006.
As a result of all of the above the Company's operating profit for the 3rd
quarter of 2007 was 5.7 mln EUR, an increase of 0.65 mln EUR compared to an
operating profit of 5 mln EUR achieved in the 3rd quarter of 2006.
Financial expenses
Net Financial expenses were 0.75 mln EUR in the 3rd quarter of 2007, which is an
increase of 0.05 mln EUR or 7.6% compared to the 3rd quarter of 2006. The
Company's interest costs have increased by 14,6% compared to the 3rd quarter of
2006. This is due to the fact that half of the Company's loans are connected to
the 6 month Euribor rate, which was 4.228% in 3rd quarter of 2007 compared to
3.298% in the 3rd quarter of 2006. The increase in interest expenses is
partially offset by an increase in financial income earned during the 3rd
quarter of 2007, as a result of a more favourable cash position, and increasing
interest rates.
Profit Before Tax
The Company's profit before taxes for the 3rd quarter of 2007 was 4.9 mln EUR,
which is 0.6 mln EUR higher than the profit before taxes of 4.3 mln EUR for the
3rd quarter of 2006.
Results for the first nine months of 2007
During the first nine months of 2007 the Company's total sales increased, year
on year, by 13.3% to 35.2 mln EUR. Sales from the Company's main operating
activities were 30.8 mln EUR. Sales of water and wastewater treatment were 28.6
mln EUR, a 9.1% increase compared to the first nine months of 2006.
The Company's profit before taxes for the first nine months of 2007 was 16.1 mln
EUR, which is 1.2 mln EUR higher than the profit before taxes of 14.8 mln EUR in
the relevant period in 2006. The results for the first 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 0.9 mln EUR for environmental taxes. The results for the first nine months
of 2006 were impacted by the sale of excess land in Paljassaare worth 1.5 mln
EUR. When eliminating these one-offs, the underlying profit before tax has
increased by 1.9 mln EUR to 15.2 mln EUR i.e. 14.6% year-on-year.
Balance sheet
During the nine months of 2007 the Company invested 10.6 mln EUR into fixed
assets. Non-current assets were 139.7 mln EUR at 30 September 2007. Current
assets decreased by 4.4 mln EUR to 16.7 mln EUR in the first nine months of the
year, which was largely attributable to a decrease in cash reflecting the
dividend payout.
Current liabilities decreased by 1.6 mln EUR to 8.2 mln EUR in the first nine
months of the year. This was mainly due to decreased trade and other payables
and taxes payable.
The company continues to maintain its leverage level within its target range of
50-60% with total liabilities to total capital employed of 52.9% as at 30
September 2007. Long-term liabilities stood at 74.6 mln EUR at the end of
September 2007, consisting almost entirely of the outstanding balance on the two
long-term bank loans.
Cash flow
During the first nine months of 2007, the Company generated 17.3 mln EUR of cash
flows from operating activities, an increase of 1.75 mln EUR compared to the
corresponding period in 2006. Operating profit continues to be main driver for
growth.
In the first nine months of 2007 net cash outflows from investing activities
were 6.3 mln EUR, which is 4.9 mln EUR more than in 2006. This was mainly due to
increased investment levels. In the first nine months of the year, the company
invested 10.6 mln EUR - 6.8 mln EUR networks extension and rehabilitation, 2.7
mln EUR Paljassaare wastewater treatment plant and wastewater treatment, 0.5 mln
EUR water quality (Ülemiste water treatment plant and raw water) and 0.5 mln EUR
other investments (IT, capital maintenance, meters, etc).
Cash outflows from financing activities were 16.1 mln EUR during the first nine
months of the year compared to cash outflow of 13.1 mln EUR during the first
nine months of 2006, reflecting increased dividend payments and related taxes.
As a result of all of the above factors, the total cash outflow in the first
nine months of 2007 was 5.1 mln EUR compared to a cash inflow of 1.1mln EUR in
the first nine months of 2006. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 10.8 mln EUR
as at 30 September 2007.
Employees
In the third quarter of 2007 the average number of employees was 313 people.

shareholders of AS Tallinna Vesi voted to pay 12,527,322 EUR of dividends. Of
this 639 EUR was paid to the owner of the B-share and 12,526,683 EUR, i.e. 0.6
EUR per share to the owners of the A-shares. Dividends were paid on 15 June
2007.

AS Tallinna Vesi share was 14.50 EUR, which is a 9.5% increase compared to the
closing price of 13.25 EUR at the beginning of the period, outperforming the
market as the OMX Tallinn index dropped by 6.4% during the relevant period.
Operational achievements in 2007
The work on the new Paljassaare sludge processing building nears completion and
commissioning activities have begun with full hand over programmed for October
2007. The project provides for the more effective and efficient operation and
maintenance of this equipment and will realise further benefits in the operation
of the wastewater and sludge treatment processes. The sludge composting
fields were completed in the 3rd quarter and these have been taken into full
operation. These projects enable the Company to continue with its
environmentally friendly and cost effective policy of disposing zero sludge to
landfill. The total cost of the project is over 2.6 mln EUR.
- In the 3rd quarter, the excellent wastewater treatment performance
continued with all outfall effluent samples at all locations compliant with
requirements and as a consequence the environmental charges for the quarter
attracted a 50% reduction.
- In quarter 3 OHSAS accreditation was awarded to the company and the
certification will be formally presented to the company on 26th October.
On 26 September the City Council approved the tariffs for water and wastewater
services for 2008. The tariff increase is going to be at expected level, i.e.
11.7%. The tariff increase consists of +6.5% increase of the K-coefficient,
+5.8% increase of CPI and -0.6% increase due to change of law.
