Baltika Group ended the first quarter with a net loss of 1,345 thousand euros. The loss for the same period last year was 1,655 thousand euros. This signifies an improvement of 310 thousand euros despite the negative impact of COVID-19 spread all over the Baltics and the unpredictable war situation between Russia and Ukraine which has negatively affected the Group's performance during the first quarter of 2022.
The Group's sales revenue for the first quarter was 2,075 thousand euros, decreasing by 3% compared to the same period last year when due to the second wave of COVID-19 stores were partially closed across the Baltics. In addition to that, the Group suffered during the whole Q1 2022 from the high level of COVID-19 cases in all Baltic countries, which negatively affected the in-store traffic and created a lot of difficulties running daily in-store operations due to high level of COVID-19 spread also within the store staff
E-com sales revenue for the first quarter was 337 thousand euros, decreasing by 65% compared to the same period last year even if performance is not fully comparable due to the fact that during Q1 2021 the e-com performance included mostly sales of Baltman and Monton discounted products.
The gross profit for the quarter was 849 thousand euros, decreasing by 24 thousand euros compared to the same period of the previous year (Q1 2021: 873 thousand euros). The company's gross profit margin was 40,91% the same level as in the first quarter of the previous year (Q1 2021: 40.93%).
The Group's distribution and administrative expenses were 2,193 thousand euros in the first quarter, decreasing by 17% i.e., 2,636 thousand euros compared to the same period last year. The reduction in costs in the retail market is related to overall cost savings and the closure of unprofitable stores. The head-office distribution and administrative expense decreased a further 133 thousand euros compared to the same period last year.
Baltika Group ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of 528 thousand euros, using the bank's overdraft facility in the amount of 2,559 thousand euros (out of the limit of 3,000 thousand euros) at the end of the quarter. Baltika will continue to implement the strategy – to develop modern high-quality products under its womenswear brand Ivo Nikkolo that is available in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and in the e-store.
Baltika's first quarter revenue was 2,075 thousand euros which was 3% lower compared to the same period last year, mostly driven by an expected negative e-commerce performance. Retail sales increased by 50% as all off-line stores remained open during the whole Q1 2022 and e-com sales decreased by 65% compared to the same period last year but the performance is not fully comparable with Q1 2021 where the e-commerce sales were mostly driven by Baltman and Monton discontinued and discounted products. In addition to that, e-commerce was the only active channel during that time due to previous lockdown all over the Baltics during Q1 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents (Note 3), trade receivables (Note 4) and borrowings (Note 9) are in euro and thereof not open to foreign exchange risk. Trade payables (Note 10) are also in foreign currency and therefore open to foreign exchange risk.
The Management monitors changes of foreign currency constantly and assesses if the changes exceed the risk tolerance determined by the Group. If feasible, foreign currencies collected are used for the settling of liabilities denominated in the same currency.
As the Group's cash and cash equivalents carry fixed interest rate and the Group has no other significant interest carrying assets, the Group's income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
The Group's interest rate risk arises mainly from current and non-current borrowings issued at floating interest rate and thus exposing the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is primarily caused by the potential fluctuations of Euribor and the changing of the average interest rates of banks. The Group's risk margins have not changed significantly and correspond to market conditions.
Non-current borrowings in the amount of 2,826 thousand euros at 31 March 2022 and 2,341 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 were subject to a floating 6-month interest rate based on Euribor. The remaining non-current borrowings at 31 March 2022 in the amount of 4,371 thousand euros and 4,264 thousand euros at 31 December 2021 are the present value of the lease liabilities recognized under IFRS 16, discounted at an average interest rate of 5%. The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a regular basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing.
During the financial year and the previous financial year, the Group´s management evaluated and recognised the extent of the interest rate risk. However, the Group uses no hedging instruments to manage the risks arising from fluctuations in interest rates, as it finds the extent of the interest-rate risk to be insignificant.
The Group is not exposed to the price risk with respect to financial instruments as it does not hold any equity securities.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions as well as all outstanding trade receivables.
For banks and financial institutions, mostly independently rated parties with a minimum rating of "A" are accepted as long-term counterparties in the Baltic states and Finland.
As at 31 March 2022 the maximum exposure to credit risk from trade receivables (Note 4) and other non-current assets (Note 4) amounted to 35 thousand euros (31 December 2021: 41 thousand euros) on a net basis after allowances.
Sales to retail customers are settled in cash or using major credit cards, thus no credit risk is involved with retail clients, except the risk arising from banks and financial institutions selected as approved counterparties.
Liquidity risk is the potential risk that the Group has limited or insufficient financial (cash) resources to meet the obligations arising from the Group's activities. Management monitors the sufficiency of cash and cash equivalents to settle liabilities and finance the Group's strategic goals on a regular basis by using rolling cash forecasts.
To manage liquidity risks, the Group uses different financing instruments such as bank loans, overdrafts, commercial bond issues, issuance of additional shares and monitors the terms of receivables and purchase contracts.
The unused limit of the Group´s overdraft facilities as at 31 March 2022 was 441 thousand euros (31 December 2021: 1,015 thousand euros).

The Group's operations are mostly affected by the cyclical nature of economies in target markets and changes in competitive positions, as well as risks related to specific markets.
To manage the risks, the Group attempts to increase the flexibility of its operations: the sales volumes and the activities of competitors are also being monitored and if necessary, the Group makes adjustments in price levels, marketing activities and collections offered. In addition to central gathering and assessment of information, an important role in analyzing and planning actions is played by a market organization in each target market, enabling the Group to obtain fast and direct feedback on market developments on one hand and adequately consider local conditions.
Improvement of flexibility plays an important role in increasing the Group's competitiveness. Continuous efforts are being made to shorten the cycles of business processes and minimize potential deviations. This also helps to improve the relative level and structure of inventories and the fashion collections' meeting consumer expectations. Group's business model was expensive, and the share of fixed costs was high, which made it difficult to respond to external factors and demand. Therefore, Group started implementing changes in business model, management structure, procedures and information systems. Group is changing its supplier base, closed production units and reduced fixed costs which will be continued.
The most important operating risk arises from the Group's inability to produce collections which would meet customer expectations and the goods that cannot be sold when expected and as budgeted. To ensure good collections, the Group employs a strong team of designers who monitor and are aware of fashion trends by using internationally acclaimed channels. Such a structure, procedures and information systems have been set up at the Group which help daily monitoring of sales and balance of inventories and using the information in subsequent activities. To avoid supply problems, cooperation with the world's leading procurement intermediaries as well as fabric manufacturers has been expanded.
The unavoidable risk factor in selling clothes is the weather. Collections are created and sales volumes as well as timing of sales is planned under the assumption that regular weather conditions prevail in the target markets – in case weather conditions differ significantly from normal conditions, the actual sales results may significantly differ from the budget.
Debtors of the Group may be adversely affected by the financial and economic environment which could in turn impact their ability to repay the amounts owed. Deteriorating operating and economic conditions for customers may also have an impact on management's cash flow forecasts and assessment of the impairment of financial and non-financial assets. To the extent that information is available, management has properly reflected revised estimates of expected future cash flows in its impairment assessments, however management is unable to reliably estimate the effects on the Group's financial position of any further deterioration in the liquidity of the financial markets and the increased volatility in the currency and equity markets. Management believes it is taking all the necessary measures to support the sustainability and development of the Group's business in the current circumstances.
The effects of the health crisis have eased, but not all sectors have recovered. Baltika Group is constantly monitoring changing risk assessments and analysing the impact of the virus on an ongoing basis. Management does not expect the risk impacts from the coronavirus to materialise in 2022 in a way that would compromise the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition to the health crisis, Estonia's economy is affected by significantly higher than average energy prices and rising inflation. Baltika Group has taken into account new negative changes in the economic environment.
The pandemic in 2021, which resulted in the closure of stores for only a few months in the first quarter, is nothing compared to what will happen in the global economic environment in 2022. The Russian military offensive against Ukraine, which started on 24 February 2022, has also left its mark on Baltika's results. Sanctions against Russia also added new difficulties to the global logistics situation, which had already been experiencing remarkable delays due to longer transportation times. The Group keeps abreast of events and reacts swiftly to the situation.
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as going concern to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Loan agreements with the banks include certain restrictions and obligations to provide information to the bank concerning payments of dividends, changes in share capital and in cases of supplementing additional capital.
Commercial Code sets requirement to equity level – the required level of equity has to be minimum 50% of share capital.
The Group monitors capital based on net gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by equity. Net debt is calculated as interest carrying borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

| Interest carrying borrowings (Note 8, 9) | 9,372 | 8,745 |

The Group estimates that the fair values of the financial assets and liabilities denominated in the statement of financial position at amortised cost do not differ significantly from their carrying amounts presented in the Group's consolidated statement of financial position at 31 March 2022 and 31 December 2021.
Trade receivables and payables are recorded in the carrying amount less an impairment provision, and as trade receivables and payables are short term then their fair value is estimated by management to approximate their balance value.
Regarding to the Group's long-term borrowings that have a floating interest rate that changes along with the changes in market interest rates, the discount rates used in the discounted cash flow model are applied to calculate the fair value of borrowings. The Group's risk margins have not changed considerably and are reflecting the market conditions. Group's long-term borrowings that have a fixed interest rate, are recognized at the discounted present value by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. Based on that, the Management estimates that the fair value of long-term borrowings does not significantly differ from their carrying amounts. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

As at 31 December 2021 the trademarks had a net book value of 206 thousand euros (31 December 2020: 182 thousand euros) included acquired trademark Ivo Nikkolo, which remaining amortization period is 5 years. As at the balance sheet date, the depreciation rate previously applied to the trademark was estimated. In the opinion of the management, the depreciation rate initially set was too conservative and did not take into account that Ivo Nikkolo's trademark is the core trademark of AS Baltika. The initial depreciation rate was set at 5% and after a review of the assessment at 2%.

Description of segments and principal activities:
segments quantitative thresholds set out by IFRS 8 and are therefore aggregated into the All other segments category.
The Parent company's Management Board measures the performance of the operating segments based on external revenue and profit (loss). External revenue amounts provided to the Management Board are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements. The segment profit (loss) is an internal measure used in the internally generated reports to assess the performance of the segments and comprises the segment's gross profit (loss) less operating expenses directly attributable to the segment, except for other operating income and expenses. The amounts provided to the Management Board with respect to inventories are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements. The segment inventories include those operating inventories directly attributable to the segment or those that can be allocated to the particular segment based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the inventories.
The Management Board monitors the Group´s results also by shops and brands. The Group makes decisions on a shop-by-shop basis, using aggregated information for decision making. For segment reporting the Management Board has decided to disclose the information by distribution channel. Most of the Management Board's decisions related to investments and resource allocation are based on the segment information disclosed in this Note.
Measures of profit or loss, segment assets and liabilities have been measured in accordance with accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements, except for IFRS 16 measurement and recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities.
The Management Board primarily uses a measure of revenue from external customers, segment profit, depreciation and amortisation and inventories to assess the performance of the operating segments. Information for the segments is disclosed below:
