Nordic Fibreboard AS Audited Annual Report 2020

On 27 April 2021, the Supervisory Board of Nordic Fibreboard AS approved the company's audited annual report for 2020.

OVERVIEW

Consolidated net sales for 2020 were EUR 10.27 million from continuing operations, being a 23% decrease compared to 2019 (2019: EUR 13.33 million from continuing operations). Fibreboard sales for year 2020 were EUR 10.00 million, which is 15% decrease from year 2019 sales of EUR 11.75 million. The main reason for the decrease in sales revenue was the loss of customers in the display board segment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. All production in this sector was produced at the Püssi factory, which was closed in March 2020.

Furniture retail sales in 2020 were EUR 56 thousand (2019: EUR 1,515 thousand). The retail sale of furniture has ended with the closure of the last shop on 31.01.2020 and the sales recorded in 2020 was from some remaining stock.

The sales revenue in 2020 from real estate management was EUR 212 thousand (2019: EUR 111 thousand), one of the reasons for the increase in sales revenue is that in 2020 the real estate management company operated throughout the financial year, but in 2019 it started operations in May.

Nordic Fibreboard AS recorded positive EBITDA of EUR 540 thousand for full year 2020 from continuing operations (vs positive EUR 325 thousand in 2019 from continuing operations). The EBITDA result for 2019 includes one-off operating income of EUR 324 thousand from revaluation of its property subsidiary Pärnu Riverside Development, while the EBITDA result for the 2020 includes one-off expense in the Group's fibreboard subsidiary of EUR 38 thousand for the removal of previously used office building located at the fibreboard site in Pärnu. The main reason for such a large change in EBITDA are the improved efficiency of

Nordic Fibreboard Ltd OÜ. The closure of the Püssi fibreboard factory enabled us to switch the Püssi factory construction sector orders to our Pärnu factory, and we started a 4(th) shift in Pärnu in April 2020 as a result thereof. The Pärnu factory is now running continuously, except for a one-shift maintenance stop every month. This has led to increased machine utilisation, and gross margin for Nordic Fibreboard Ltd OÜ has therefore increased substantially, being 25% in 2020 (from being 15% in 2019).

At the end of 2020, Nordic Fibreboard AS and Nordic Fibreboard Ltd entered into a new loan agreement with their current lender Swedbank AS and new lender, the Rural Development Foundation, to refinance Group`s loans and overdrafts. The refinancing enabled the Group to restructure its loan liabilities from EUR 4.4 million to EUR 3.2 million.

At the regular General Meeting of Shareholders held on 10.08.2020, a decision made to introduce no-par value shares and to reduce the share capital of Nordic Fibreboard AS by 2,249,530.50 euros, from 2,699,436.60 euros to 449,906.10 euros by reducing the book value of shares. The number of shares remained the same, but the book value of the share decreased from 0.60 euros to 0.10 euros.

Furniture retail EBITDA for 2020 was negative EUR 40 thousand (2019: negative EUR 200 thousand). Real Estate Management EBITDA for 2020 was EUR 0 (2019: positive EUR 352 thousand).

Net profit for full-year 2020 was EUR 1,074 thousand from continuing operations (2019: net loss of EUR 1,127 thousand from continuing operations).
