Nurminen Logistics I Half-Year Financial Report 1 January–30 June 2024 1
The comparable operating profit of EUR 4.0 million for the second quarter remained at a high level of 17.5%, although the decline in volumes in the Baltic countries, political strikes and maintenance shutdowns at customers' factories in Finland reduced net sales and weakened the result.

Net sales for 2024 will be below the net sales for 2023 and the comparable operating profit will be slightly below last year's level.
According to the previous guidance, Nurminen Logistics estimated that net sales for 2024 and comparable operating profit would increase from 2023.
The new guidance is based on the significant decline in Baltic volumes due to the prolongation of the Red Sea crisis. Much of the transport from Central Asia to Asia via the Baltics moved to land routes at the start of the summer season. We forecast that the volumes in the Baltic countries will be clearly lower until the end of the year, which will have a negative impact on the company's fullyear net sales and operating profit outlook.
We expect the volumes to return to the sea route once the use of the Suez Canal becomes possible for container traffic. The arrival of winter may also transfer some of the volumes to our routes.
Since June, the volume development has been increasing in non-Baltic businesses, and we expect the volumes excluding the Baltics to increase compared to the first half of the year and second half of last year, which will increase the share of our in-house production in operations and further improve our relative profitability thanks to improved efficiency, new service products and new customer relationships.

Comparable operating profit of EUR 4.0 million for the second quarter remained at a high level of 17.5%, although the decline in volumes in the Baltic countries, political strikes and maintenance shutdowns at customers' factories in Finland reduced net sales and weakened the result."

Olli Pohjanvirta
Nurminen Logistics' highlights for the second quarter were: net sales were EUR 22.5 million (31.6), a decrease of 28.8%, and comparable operating profit was EUR 4.0 million (5.6), a decrease of 29.4%. We managed to keep comparable operating profit at a high level with efficient operations, at 17.5% of net sales (17.7%).
Net sales for the review period, or the first half of the year, amounted to EUR 57.7 million (56.7), an increase of 2 per cent year-on-year, and the comparable operating profit adjusted for non-recurring items was EUR 9.8 million (9.2), which is the highest H1 operating profit in the company's history. The high comparable operating margin of 17% was maintained in spite of the decline in volumes in the Baltic countries, non-recurring political strikes and railway yard work in the customer's factory area and maintenance shutdowns at customers' factories, which weakened the result in the second quarter.
I would like to emphasise that we were able to achieve a high relative operating profit and a good operating cash flow in the second quarter, despite numerous external events that had a negative impact on volumes.
Interest in rail transport has increased both in the Nordic countries and in traffic between Europe and Asia. During the review period, we launched a new route in the Swedish market by opening weekly rail connections from Umeå and Haparanda to Gothenburg. The new routes strengthen Finland's western connections and increase environmentally friendly and fast logistics options for companies
on the west coast and north of Finland, promoting their competitiveness in exports and imports. During the rest of the year, we will invest more resources in Sweden and we expect the Swedish business to further strengthen our position as a railway operator and increase the volumes we transport in the future. In addition, we see our expanding railway service network bringing new customers and customer groups, especially in the consumer goods sector, where low-emission transport clearly has an even greater impact on the choice of mode of transport. In addition, the extensive network will give us a significant competitive advantage in the future in rail traffic between Asia and Europe.
The continuation of the Red Sea crisis temporarily moved large volumes away from our route from the Baltics to Asia, which had a major negative impact on net sales in particular. We estimate that the arrival of winter possibly brings these volumes back, despite the continuation of the Red Sea crisis, because due to reloadings the winter makes logistics operations on the land route more difficult. It should be noted that we do not have to recognise non-recurring expenses in connection with the loss of volumes, and that the customer will continue on our routes for deliveries between Europe and America.
The property sale we announced in June, which will be carried out in Q3, will free up capital, significantly improve the key figures on the balance sheet and increase our company's strategic flexibility to grow in a constantly changing market.
The outlook for the global economy has improved, increasing the demand for logistics services in our operating areas. We also believe that the volumes of foreign trade in Finland will pick up in the near future, even though the current year in Finland due to the weak level at the beginning of the year will be soft as a whole. The Finnish economy is slowly recovering from the recession and growth will accelerate in the coming years, as the economic cycle strengthens both in Finland and in Finland's export markets. However, the market is very cyclical and subject to changes in demand, which inreases uncertainties. Our company has been building a business model that is highly resistant to market changes, in which changes in the implementation of business operations and efficiency improvement measures are a continuous process in order to be able to respond to the conditions required by the market.
In the international railway business, we are after 2023 again seeing increase in volumes on routes between Asia and Europe. Volumes are increasing especially between China and Germany, which has been positive for us since the spring, and we believe that this development will continue.
The weight of the environmental aspect in the supply chain emissions seems to continue to grow, strengthening the demand for rail transport. This trend strengthens Nurminen Logistics' position as a sustainable logistics operator. A legislative package issued by the European Commission to mitigate CO2 emissions from freight transport aims to shift 30% of Europe's freight transport to rails by 2030¹.
The demand for fertilisers and raw materials will increase globally in the coming years, providing a good starting point for the growth and development of the domestic railway business.
The market in Finland for cargo and forwarding services has developed moderately since the downturn in the first quarter. This was evident in the second quarter with the Cargo business growing by 21% and the Multimodal Forwarding business growing by 29% compared to the first quarter. Mirroring our customer perspectives, we expect this growth to continue.
The acquisition of new customers has progressed well in the Finnish business groups, and we see successes especially in the transport of energy raw materials from Europe to Finland and Sweden, where we expect strong growth. Electric car import forwarding and terminal services as well as project shipping in the engineering industry have also seen clear growth.

Net sales for April–June decreased by 28.8 per cent to EUR 22.5 million (EUR 31.6 million). The reported operating profit for April– June was EUR 3.4 million (5.6) and the comparable operating profit was EUR 4.0 million (5.6).
Operating profit for the review period was EUR 9.2 million (8.9) and comparable operating profit was EUR 9.8 million, including non-recurring items of EUR 0.6 million. The high comparable operating margin of 17% was maintained in spite of the decline in volumes in the Baltic countries, political strikes, railway yard work and maintenance shutdowns at customers' factories in Finland, which reduced net sales and weakened profit in the second quarter.
Thanks to improved efficiency, North Rail Oy has been able to grow its business profitably, even though political strikes, railway yard work and maintenance shutdowns at customers' factories in Finland temporarily reduced net sales in the second quarter. The company's locomotive fleet is in good condition, and we can continue to improve efficiency and based on customer perspectives increase turnover during the rest of the year.
The development of rail services in Sweden continued in the second quarter, and freight train connections between Umeå-Gothenburg-Umeå and Haparanda-Gothenburg-Haparanda have been launched. We expect new profitable turnover from these routes during H2. Our investments in the Swedish market will increase towards the end of the year, and we also see opportunities for growth in rail transport via Sweden to Central Europe.
The volume of our rail container traffic from China to Europe has increased throughout the first half of the year, and we believe this growth will continue. The use of the Trans-Caspian route has become established, but at the moment we do not see any growth in demand for the route.
Net sales in the railway business increased to EUR 7.4 million (EUR 7.1 million) in the second quarter, although we lost significant net sales and result due to political strikes, railway yard work and maintenance shutdowns at customers' factories. The share of net sales of the Group's net sales is 27 per cent (20).
The weak momentum of the Finnish economy and the political strikes in the spring affected the development of the Cargo business in the second quarter, and net sales for April–June decreased by 8 per cent to EUR 5.0 million (5.5) compared to the same period last
December 2020 (Brussels: European Commission) https://eur-lex. europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52020DC0789. year, which was also reflected in a small decrease in profitability.
However, net sales grew by 21 per cent compared to the first quarter of the year. Based on customer forecasts and active new customer acquisition, we believe that growth will continue in the following quarters. The profitability of business was at a good level when comparing to the industry sector. Cargo operations account for 16 per cent (19) of the Group's net sales.
As a result of the soft economic situation in Finland, net sales for April–June decreased by 8 per cent to EUR 2.6 million (2.8) compared to the same period last year, but increased by 29 per cent compared to the first quarter of the year. Profitability was at a good level and improved in the second quarter compared to the first. We expect this positive development to continue during the rest of the year. The Multimodal Forwarding business accounts for 8 per cent (9 per cent) of the Group's net sales.
Due to the prolongation of the Red Sea crisis, volumes in the Baltic region declined since April, halving April–June net sales to EUR 8.4 million (17.0). Much of the transport from Central Asia to Asia via the Baltics moved to land routes at the start of the summer season. We expect the net sales for the rest of the year to remain clearly lower than at the beginning of the year, even though the arrival of winter may transfer some of the volumes back to our routes. Baltic operations account for 52 per cent (54) of the Group's net sales.
With the volume forecasts of the clientele, successful new customer acquisition and continuous efficiency improvements, we see growth in our business operations and improved prospects excluding the Baltic business area. Our outlook is also supported by forecasts of international economic growth and the upturn in Finland's foreign trade.
Nurminen Logistics expects relative profitability to develop positively in the near future, and pricing power will enable price increases in several of our services.
Nurminen Logistics expects railway transport volumes to increase both between the Nordic countries and in traffic between Europe and Asia. The use of rail services will grow globally faster than other transport segments due to their low environmental impact, which supports the company's future outlook.
Any weakening in world trade and in Finnish exports and imports, as well as the weakening of trade between Central Europe and China and a general decrease in purchasing power due to high inflation from the current situation may have a negative impact on the demand for the Nurminen Logistics' services, volumes of cargo traffic and thereby the result of Nurminen Logistics.
Nurminen Logistics' current balance sheet and cost structure as well as the flexibility of its operations will withstand even rapid future market changes, and any weakening of the Finnish economy alone would not pose a significant financial risk to the company in the near future.
In the railway business, food supply-related fertilisers critical to the world being subjected to Western sanctions would have a negative impact on the business of North Rail Oy.
The financial statements for 2023 include a more detailed description of short-term risks. Geopolitical tensions and new trade policies in different countries may also have an impact on business.

Cash flow from operating activities during the review period was EUR +8.2 million and cash flow from investing activities was EUR -5.8 million, with the largest item being the EUR 4.7 million last installment of the purchase price of North Rail Oy. Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -8.7 million, including EUR 6.5 million in dividends to non-controlling interests and EUR 1.6 million in equity repayments to shareholders.
At the end of the review period, Nurminen Logistics' cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 6.5 million. The Group's management estimates that cash flow from operations will be sufficient to cover the expenses and liabilities of the company's current business for the next 12 months.
The deferred tax assets include an item of EUR 4.1 million associated with unused tax losses of Nurminen Logistics Plc, Nurminen Logistics Services Oy and North Rail Oy. Based on the new calculations prepared by the management, the confirmed losses of Nurminen Logistics Plc and Nurminen Logistics Services Oy that will expire in 2024, as well as the confirmed losses of Nurminen Logistics Plc that will expire in the next two years, cannot be utilised in full, and based on this a write-down of EUR 1.0 million has been made on the deferred tax assets on the balance sheet.
Nurminen Logistics announced on 10 June 2024 that it will sell 51% majority of the shares in Kiinteistöosakeyhtiö Helsingin Satamakaari 24 to Ilmarinen in a transaction to be completed on 30 September 2024. As a result, Kiinteistöosakeyhtiö Helsingin Satamakaari 24 is classified as an asset held for sale on the balance sheet.
The Group's interest-bearing debt excluding IFRS 16 liabilities amounted to EUR 27.2 million. The liabilities according to IFRS 16 totalled EUR 9.2 million, of which EUR 6.7 million was connected to the land and civil defence shelter leases of the Vuosaari real estate company. The land lease liability does not have a negative impact on the value of the property. All of the buildings in the Vuosaari port area are located on plots leased from the City of Helsinki.
Current interest-bearing debts, EUR 16.3 million in total, consist of EUR 5.7 million loans to Ilmarinen, EUR 6.0 million loans to OmaSP, a EUR 3.0 million loan to Nordea, a EUR 0.7 million loan to Finnvera, North Rail shareholder loans of EUR 0.5 million and lease liability of EUR 0.4 million.
