Hepsor AS consolidated sales revenue for the 2021 financial year amounted to 15 million euros and its net profit was 1.7 million euros (including 0.02 million euros loss attributable to the owners of the parent). We forecast a turnover of 28 million euros in 2022 and a profit of 3.3 million euros (including 3.1 million euros attributable to the owners of the parent).

The company's financial result in 2021 was lower than in 2020, mainly due to the cyclical nature of the business. The development cycle of projects lasts 24 to 36 months and sales revenue is only generated at the end of this cycle. Therefore, more projects may end in one year than in another, and in 2021 fewer than usual projects became ready for sale. The results of 2021 were also affected by the one-time cost of approximately 0.65 million euros related to the public offering of shares.

Due to the cyclical nature of the business, Hepsor may also in the future experience financial years with fluctuating financial results, despite of strong development portfolio and good profitability of the projects. The financial results may be weaker or stronger compared with the previous or subsequent financial year. Therefore, the management analyses the company's longterm financial results using three-year average financial data as a benchmark for neutralising the cyclicality.

The average profit for 2019–2021 is 2.3 million euros (including 1.18 million euros attributable to the owners of the parent) and the average return on equity of 31% (with the return on equity owned by the owners of parent being 17%). Calculating the average based on two historical years and the current year (the financial results for 2020 and 2021 and projected financial results for 2022), the average profit is 2.96 million euros (including 1.88 million euros attributable to the owners of the parent), with the average return on equity owned by the owners of parent being 17%

The company has set a target of 100 million euros in equity by 2030. To this end, the average annual return on capital should be around 20%. When assessing the return on capital in the coming years, it should be borne in mind that the additional capital raised through the public offering at the end of 2021 will be invested in projects in the first half of 2022, and it will have an effect on the financial results in about 24 months (this calculation is also affected by the length of the development cycle).

In addition to the return on capital, we also constantly monitor the dynamics of our development portfolio, including whether and to what extent we are able to acquire new projects and how high the turnover potential of the projects is in the company's development portfolio. In this respect, there is reason to be satisfied with 2021. At the beginning of the year, we estimated the turnover potential of all outstanding projects at 249 million euros; however, by the end of the year this figure had risen to 379 million euros from which consolidated will be ca 82%. We acquired nine new development projects (five in Estonia and four in Latvia), adding almost 70,000 square metres of new development volume. At the same time, our portfolio is not concentrated into a few individual projects; instead, it is divided between a large number of projects in terms of location and purpose (residential v. commercial). While we had 19 different projects at the beginning of 2021, that number had grown to 26 by the end of the year. We consider the composition of our portfolio to be very good.

Green issues and environmentally-friendly engineering solutions have always been very close to our hearts. We have been developing our green office building brand since our first years of operation. Two new office buildings under this brand will be completed this year: Grüne Maja and Büroo 113. In the case of the latter, we can use green solutions (geothermal heating and cooling, rainwater use, energy-efficient architecture, excellent indoor climate, solar energy, etc.) for the first time in a city centre high-rise. Prospective tenants have had a keen interest in both of the projects, and we hope that both buildings will be fully leased in the course of 2022.

In conclusion, the management is satisfied with the 2021 financial year. A good foundation has been laid for our growth in the coming periods, we have a strong portfolio, our team is motivated and we have thousands of new shareholders on board.

Operating Results

The Group's sales revenue in 2021 was 15.0 million euros (compared with 38.8 million euros in 2020), of which 8.0 million euros was earned in the fourth quarter (15.2 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2020). Compared with the previous period, sales revenue in 2021 decreased by 61.4%. The decrease in revenue in 2021 was mainly due to the small number of completed projects, which resulted in fewer projects reaching the sales stage than in an average year.

Revenue split by countries:

Thousand 12 months 12 months Change IV quarter IV quarter Change
euros 2021 2020 % 2021 2020 %
Estonia 13,277 33,907 -60.8 7,090 14,049 -49.5

Total 14,961 38,771 -61.4 8,015 15,158 -47.1

Profitability

The Group's operating profit for 2021 amounted to 1.9 million euros (compared with 3.4 million euros in 2020). The operating margin was 12.6% (compared with 8.8% in 2020). The Group's net profit for the reporting year amounted to 1.7 million euros (compared with 3.8 million euros in 2020), of which the losses attributable to the owners of the parent amounted to 22 thousand euros (profit 2.6 million euros in 2020), while the profit to non-controlling interest was 1.8 million euros (1.3 million euros in 2020).

The Group's operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 1.5 million euros (compared with 1.6 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2020). The operating margin for the fourth quarter was 18.3% (compared with 10.9% in the fourth quarter of 2020). The increase in real estate market prices in 2021 compared with 2020 has increased both the operating profit of the sold development projects and the net profit margin. Net profit for the fourth quarter was 1.6 million euros (compared with 1.8 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2020) and the net profit margin was 19.4% (11.9% in 2020).

Although the margins of projects completed during the reporting period were higher than expected, the reporting year ended with a loss for the owners of the parent company. The main reasons are the following:

  • ✓ Due to the cyclical nature of the projects, very few projects ended during the reporting year.
  • ✓ The parent company's share in the projects completed in the reporting year was below average compared with the other projects developed by the parent company.

✓ Extraordinary expenses arising from the initial public offering of Hepsor AS shares in the amount of 205 thousand euros are included in the operating expenses for the reporting year. The total expenses incurred in relation to the listing and issuing of shares amounted to 650 thousand euros, of which 445 thousand euros have been reflected in the consolidated income statement.

Cash Flows

The Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to 4.2 million euros at the beginning of the 2021 financial year (2020: 2.7 million euros) and to 10.9 million euros at the end of the financial year. The positive cash flow for the year was 6.7 million euros (2020: 1.6 million euros).

Cash flow from operating activities was negative at 9.3 million euros for the reporting year (2020: positive at 11.5 million euros). Cash flow from operating activities was mostly affected by the growth in the portfolio of development projects, due to the change in inventories the negative cash flow in 2021 was 12.8

million euros (2020: positive 9.6 million euros). In 2021, the Group acquired nine new development projects.

Cash flow from investments was negative at 4.2 million euros in 2021 (2020: negative at 1.1 million euros). The largest impact was from loans granted, the balance of which increased by 4.4 million euros (2020: 2.1 million euros).

Cash flow from financing activities was positive at 20.2 million euros (2020: negative at 8.9 million euros). Cash flows were mostly affected by the 10 million euros raised through the initial public offering, of which the net amount of 9.6 million euros has been reflected in the cash flow statement. In 2021, the Group received more loans than it repaid. The net amount of loans received in 2021 was 12.2 million euros (2020: negative 7.3 million euros).

Note 21. 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 market demand and 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.

Business risk

Business risks include operational and commercial risks, which can have negative impact on financial performance or reputation of the Group. The examples of such risks include the inability of the Group to find suitable land plots and real estate projects and inability of Group's contractors to perform in accordance with agreed terms. In managing such risks the Group is conducting indepth due diligence and implementing mitigation actions and controls.

Market risks

The Group is exposed to price risk resulting from decline in the market values of the Group's real estate development projects. 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 inability of the Group to sell with expected prices could have an unfavourable impact of 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 fixed (meaning not floating).

Management constantly monitors the Group's exposure to interest rate risk. However, the use of this approach does not prevent losses outside of these limits in the event of more significant market movements.

The Group's bank loans have both fixed and floating interest rates based on Euribor. Bank loans have 0% floor clause as protection against negative Euribor meaning that in case of negative Euribor, Euribor is equalized to zero and the margin of such loans does not decrease.

For undrawn bank loans the Group is charged commitment fee, which is based on the average balance of the undistributed loan amount thus having direct impact on the effective interest rate of the Group.

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 such as trade receivables from rental property and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

In order to minimise credit risk, the Group is only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and deposits cash in banks wellrecognized banks in Estonia and Latvia. The Group uses 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 resources are 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. Refinancing risk is managed by monitoring the liquidity position, analysing different financing options on an ongoing basis and negotiating with financing parties throughout the financing period.

Covid-19

The impact of the COVID-19 is being felt by all businesses around the world. Therefore, the continuing spread of the COVID-19 may have an adverse long-term impact on markets where the Group operates. The velocity of change coming out of the pandemic is generating new forms of financial and operational risks arising from inflation, capacity constraints, and supply-chain disruptions.
