Dear shareholders of Hepsor

Revenues 6 million euros The consolidated sales revenue of Hepsor amounted to 6.0 million euros in the first quarter of 2023 and the net profit was 0.14 million euros (including a net profit attributable to the owners of the parent of 0.24 million euros).

The year 2023 started on a moderately optimistic note in the real estate sector - consumer confidence, which fell to a record low in the last quarter of 2022, showed signs of recovery, and the stabilization of energy prices and inflation continued, which create the preconditions for the recovery of real estate market demand. Unfortunately, Euribor rates continue to rise, which directly affects the monthly housing costs of homebuyers and forces them to postpone making real estate purchase decisions. In Tallinn, the transaction activity of the new development market is higher than at the end of 2022 but continues to be significantly below the previous long-term average. On the other hand, in Riga, the previously described effects were more short-term, and transaction activity remains at the usual level after a temporary dip.

The Group's revenues and profitability are directly dependent on the development cycle of projects, which is approximately 24 to 36 months. Sales revenue is generated only at the end of the cycle. Calendar quarters vary in terms of the number of projects ending during the quarter, which is why both profits and sales revenue can differ significantly across quarters. Therefore, performance can be considerably weaker or stronger in some years and quarters than in others.

The portfolio of the company's development projects and three-year average financial results are a better criteria for assessing the group's performance in order to assess the overall sustainability and economic results of a real estate development company.

Completed development projects

The handover of apartments in the Paevälja Hoovimajad project, which was completed in 2022, continued in the first quarter of 2023 and accounted for most of the quarter's sales revenue. We built two apartment buildings with a total of 96 apartments as part of the project, of which the first 40 apartments were handed over to homebuyers at the end of 2022. We handed over an additional 34 apartments to homebuyers during the first quarter of 2023, and as of 31 March 2023 we have signed real rights agreements for 74 apartments (77%) and law of obligations agreements or written reservation agreements for 4 apartments (4%).

Development projects under construction and available for sale

Hepsor has six residential development projects under construction in Estonia and Latvia, with a total of 527 new apartments. There are three development projects under construction and available for sale in Riga, with a total of 246 apartments as of 31 March 2023. Contracts under law of obligations and reservation agreements have been signed for 198 of these apartments (80%). There are also three development projects with a total of 281 new apartments under construction and available for sale in Tallinn. Contracts under law of obligations and reservation agreements have been signed for 61 of these apartments (23%) as of 31 March 2023.

The commercial real estate development project, Grüne Maja is being completed in Tallinn following a green concept. The office building is fully covered with lease agreements while approximately 79% of the space is already in active use. The remaining tenants are expected to move to the new premises in Q2 2023 at the latest.

Significant events related to development projects in the first quarter of 2023

  • We signed a loan agreement to finance the construction of 26 homes in the Lilleküla Kodud project. Construction started already in the fourth quarter of 2022
  • We started the construction of 154 homes in the Manufaktuuri 7 project in Tallinn and signed a loan agreement to finance the construction of the project
  • We started the construction of 38 homes in Riga in the Nameja Rezidence development project
  • Two projects under construction in Riga received an occupancy permit, which allows the completed homes to be handed over to buyers in the second quarter of 2023 - 92 homes will be completed in the Mārupes Dārzs project and 116 homes will be completed in the Kuldigas Parks project.

Future prospects

We forecast a revenue of 41.3 million euros, net profit of 3.3 million euros and net profit attributable to the owners of the parent of 1.1 million euros in 2023. The Group's sales results for the first quarter of 2023 give us confidence that we can expect to meet the forecasts for 2023. Currently customers do not make rapid purchase decisions, but there is still interest in our projects, which gives ground for us to be moderately optimistic to continue with existing and new projects. We believe that rather favourable construction prices should be taken advantage of to execute development projects. Observing the interest of Hepsor's customers in new development projects has given us the perception that there is moderate, if any, room for customers to negotiate a price decrease for the purchase in new developments.

Operating Results

The Group's sales revenue in Q1 2023 was 6.0 million euros (Q1 2022: 1.3 million euros), of which 0.2 million euros (Q1 2022: 1.1 million euros) or 4% (Q1 2022: 86%) was earned in Latvia.

Compared to the same period last year, the sales revenue of the first quarter of 2023 increased almost five times. Large fluctuations in sales revenue are relatively common in real estate development business. The development cycle of the Group's real estate projects lasts approximately 36 months. In year-on-year comparisons, sales revenues and profits may fluctuate depending on the period between the completion of the construction of the development project and the sale of the completed apartments. In Q1 2023, the Group sold a total of 34 apartments in Paevälja Hoovimajad development project, Paevälja 11, Tallinn. A year earlier, 8 apartments were sold in Riga in 4b Strēlnieku development project. In addition to the sale of apartments, the Group also offers project management services and generates rental income from real estate. In total, other sales revenue amounted to 363 thousand euros (Q1 2022: 158 thousand euros) or 6% (Q1 2022: 12%) of the Group's total sales revenue.

Profitability

The gross profit of development projects sold during the reporting period was 1,160 thousand euros (Q1 2022: 85 thousand euros) and gross profit margin was 20.9% (Q1 2022: 7.9%). The Group's gross profit for Q1 2023 amounted to 935 thousand euros (Q1 2022: 106 thousand euros). In the first quarter the Group's gross profit margin was 15.6% (Q1 2022: 8,6%). The gross profit was mostly affected by the number of apartments sold and the higher profitability of the sold development project.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Group's operating profit was 514 thousand euros (Q1 2022 operating loss: 314 thousand euros) and operating profit margin was 8.6% (Q1 2022: -24.7%). The Group's net profit for the period amounted to 139 thousand euros (Q1 2022: 22 thousand euros) of which the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent amounted to 240 thousand euros (Q1 2022: 5 thousand euros), while the net loss to non-controlling interest was 101 thousand euros (Q1 2022: net profit of 17 thousand euros). In the reporting period the net profit margin was 2.3% (Q1 2022: 1.7%).

Balance Sheet

Total assets of the Group amounted to 80.1 million euros as of 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022: 56.8 million euros), which is 41.1% higher than at the end of the comparable period last year. Inventories made up 92% or 73.6 million euros of total assets (31 March 2022: 79.4% and 45,1 million euros). In the period from 01.04.2022 to 31.03.2023, the Group has purchased four new landspots: residential development projects in Tallinn, Nõmme tee 57 and Manufaktuuri 12 and in Riga, Jurmala Gatve/Imata 8 and commercial development Ganibu Dambis 17, with which 111 new apartments and 21,260 m2 commercial area have been added to the development portfolio.

As of 31 March 2023, cash and cash equivalents accounted for 2.6% or 2.1 million euros of the total assets. As at 31 March 2022, cash and cash equivalents accounted for 13.1% or 7.4 million euros of total assets.

The Group's loan obligations totaled 48.7 million euros as at 31 March 2023, compared to 30.8 million euros as at 31 March 2022. The Group's equity increased by 6.7% over the year to 20.5 million euros. Equity attributable to the owners of the parent increased at the same rate to 20.1 million euros.

Cash Flows

The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to 3.8 million euros at the beginning of Q1 2023 (Q1 2022: 10.9 million euros) and to 2.1 million euros as at 31 March 2023 (31 March 2022: 7.4 million euros). The negative cash flow for the period was 1.6 million euros (Q1 2022: 3.7 million euros).

Cash flow from operating activities for Q1 2023 was negative at 1.2 million euros (Q1 2022: -6.9 million euros). Cash flow from operating activities was mostly affected by the growth of inventories, due to the change in inventories the negative cash flow as of Q1 2023 was 3.1 million euros (Q1 2022: 7.4 million euros).

In Q1 2023 cash flow from investments was positive at 21 thousand euros (Q1 2022: 1,136 thousand euros). The largest impact in the comparable period was from repayment of loans granted, the balance of which decreased by 1,0 million euros.

Cash flow from financing activities was negative at 0,5 million euros (Q1 2022: positive 2.1 million euros). In Q1 2023, the Group received more loans than it repaid. The net amount of loans received in three months 2023 was 0,6 million euros (Q1 2022: 2.3 million euros).

Liabilities assumed by the Group to minority shareholders in accordance with the concluded shareholders' agreements are recognized as embedded derivatives. According to shareholders agreements the profit is shared with minority shareholders in the form as it is agreed in the agreement. Pursuant to the division agreement entered into between the shareholders of Hepsor P26b OÜ the loan granted by the Group to the shareholders was settled with the liability arising from embedded derivatives in the amount of 2,080 thousand euros. More information on loans is provided in Note 4.

As of the end of the reporting period, the group had no liabilities from embedded derivatives, in comparable periods the group had an liablity from embedded derivatives as of 31.12.2022 in the development project Meistri 14, Tallinn in the amount of 8 thousand euros. In 2023, the liablity was reduced by 8 thousand euros through the other comprehensive income.

Note 9. Contingent liabilities

9.1 Contingent liabilities arising from embedded derivatives

In accordance with the shareholders agreements between the Group and minority shareholders of subsidiaries (SPV's), the Group has an obligation as of 31 March 2023 to pay 12,904 thousand euros (31 December 2022: 12,904 thousand euros; 31 March 2022: 8,992 thousand euros) to the minority shareholders upon realization of the business plan. The obligations amounts are estimations calculated based on current business plans of the development projects as of statement of financial position dates. Contingent liabilities are estimated before the full realization of the development projects at each reporting date. As of 31 March 2023, the realization time of contingent liabilities remains between 2023 and 2027.

9.2 Based on the investor agreement signed in December regarding the 4b Strēlnieku development project, the investor will be paid interest depending on how successful the project is upon its completion. In the opinion of the Group's management, there is certain uncertainty arising from the macroeconomic environment both in terms of the interest depending on the success of the project and the time when the payment obligation arises, therefore it is not possible to reliably determine the amount of the interest obligation.

Note 22. Risk management

Risk management is part of the Group's strategic planning and decision-making process. The Group is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties related to, among other factors, the business and financial risks. The materialisation of any such risks could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. The Group's risk management process is based on the premise that the Group's success depends on constant monitoring, accurate assessment, and effective management of risks. The Group's management monitors the management of these risks.

Strategic risk

The Group's strategic risks are risks that can significantly impact the execution of its business strategies and ability to achieve the objectives. Such risks are impacted by changes in political environment and market demand as well as microeconomic developments. While the risks can have negative impact on the Group's business, they can also create new business opportunities. The Group carefully selects the new development projects and monitors the market trends in order to adjust its strategy when significant changes occur.

Market risk

The Group is exposed to price risk resulting from decline in the market values of the Group's real estate development projects or increase in input prices. There can be no guarantee that the Group will be able to sell its development projects in future with prices that are similar or higher than the expected market value of these projects. The Group cannot ensure it is able to sell its development projects with expected prices could have an unfavourable impact on the Group's statement of financial position and may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, prospects and results of operations and execution of its strategy. At present it is not possible to assess the extent of any such potential changes.

The Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. The Group actively uses external and internal borrowings to finance its real estate development projects in Estonia and Latvia. A project's external financing is either in the form of a bank loan or investor loan from minority interest holders denominated in Euro.

The interest rates of investor loans are usually fixed, ie interest rates are not floating and do not depend on Euribor.

The Group's bank loans have both fixed and floating interest rates based on Euribor. The management constantly monitors the Group's exposure to interest rate risk which arises from upward movement in Euribor for loans with floating interest rates.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations towards the Group under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities such as trade receivables from rental property and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

In order to minimize credit risk, the Group is only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and deposits cash in banks wellrecognized banks in Estonia and Latvia. If such rating is not available, the Group uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers.

The Group is in real estate development business and upon sale of completed property the Group enters into notarized agreement with the buyer. Since most of the transactions are ensured either with money deposited in the notary's deposit account or a bank loan, the Group is not exposed to material credit risk from trade receivables.

Liquidity risk

The Group's liquidity represents its ability to settle its liabilities to creditors on time. A careful management of liquidity and refinancing risks implies maintaining the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the nature of the Group's business activities, the Group actively uses external and internal funds to ensure that timely resources are always available to cover capital needs.

The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The Group mitigates refinancing risk by monitoring liquidity positions, analyzing different financing options on an ongoing basis and negotiating with financing parties over the course of financing.

Capital risk

The core purpose of the Group's capital risk management is to ensure the most optimal capital structure to support the sustainability of the Group's business operations and shareholders' interests.

The Group uses the debt-to-equity ratio to monitor capital structure. The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as the ratio of net debt to total capital. The management considers the Group's capital structure optimal.

Geopolitical risk

Russia's military invasion and attack on Ukraine's independence, which began on 24 February 2022, is affecting businesses around the world and the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict remain unclear. The initial effects of the war have partially subsided – commodity prices have stabilized as a result of the development of new supply chains, energy prices and inflation are also returning to previous levels however, as a negative effect, economic growth has slowed down, and we expect the monetary policy tightened by central banks to continue for a longer period. Although the economic environment is stabilizing, there is still the risk of an escalation of a military conflict, which can have a wide impact on the Group daily activities if the risk materializes.

Management Board's Confirmation

The Management Board confirms that the unaudited interim report for first quarter of 2023, which is comprised of the management report and the interim financial statements, provides a true and fair view of the Group's operations, financial position and results of operations, and describes the significant risks and uncertainties the Group faces.
