On 13 September 2018 the Council, by its Resolution No. O3E-283, established new components of the basic heat price for the Company, which were in force during the audited period. In accordance with the price-setting methodology, the Council recalculates the price components after the first year of the basic price and the rate is adjusted prospectively. The recalculated components became applicable on 1 November 2020.
The Company's production capacities consist of the Petrašiūnai power plant, 4 regulated and 10 automated boiler houses in the integrated network of Kaunas city, 7 regional boiler houses in Kaunas district, 1 in Jurbarkas, 11 isolated network and 26 local (household) boiler houses in Kaunas city, as well as 2 boiler houses for water heating in Sargėnai district.
The boiler house under the ownership of AB Kauno energija became a division of the Company in March 2022. In July 2022, the Petrašiūnai power plant's capacity was reduced due to environmental requirements.
The total installed thermal capacity of the Company as at 31 December 2022 is approximately 596 MW (of which 53 MW are condensing economizers), electrical, 8.75 MW, including 220 MW thermal capacity of the Petrašiūnai power plant (of which 17.8 MW is condensing economizer) and 8 MW electrical capacity, in Jurbarkas 39.4 MW thermal capacity (including 4.4 MW – a condensing economizer).
The total power generation capacity of the Company as a whole is approximately 605 MW (of which 53 MW are condensing economizers).
The Company makes investments based on an assessment of the economic situation, the competitive environment and the availability of financing. Investment plans are approved by the shareholders and coordinated by the Regulatory Council.
The Company's management approved these financial statements on 26 July 2023. The Company's shareholders have a statutory right to approve these financial statements or disapprove them and require the management to draft new financial statements.
The separate and consolidated financial statements (hereinafter the "financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU) and interpretations thereof. Standards have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations have been issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
These financial statements are prepared on an historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities for which changes in fair value are recognised as profit or loss. Historical cost is essentially based on the fair value of the consideration paid for an asset. These financial statements are prepared based on a presumption that the Company and the Group will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.
The financial year of the Company and other Group companies coincides with the calendar year.
All amounts in these financial statements are recorded and presented in euro (rounded to the nearest thousand euro, unless otherwise stated) – the functional and presentation currency of the Group and the Company.
(a) New and/or amended standards and interpretations applicable from 1 January 2022:
The following amended standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU, as well as additions and clarifications to existing standards, are currently in force and have been applied by the Company and the Group during this year:
The application of the standards, amendments and interpretations listed above did not materially affect the financial statements of the Company and the Group.
(b) Standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations issued by the IASB, adopted by the EU but not yet effective:
As at the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company and the Group has not early adopted the following new and revised IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations that have been endorsed but not yet effective:
The management of the Company and the Group does not expect that the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations will have a material impact on the Company's and the Group's financial statements in the period of initial application.
(c) Standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations that are not yet effective and have not yet been endorsed by the EU:
IFRSs currently endorsed by EU are not significantly different from the standards, endorsed by IASB, except the standards, amendments and interpretations that were not endorsed by EU (the effective dates are applicable to IFRS to full extent). These standards, amendments and interpretations are listed below:
The management of the Company and the Group does not expect that the adoption of these standards, amendments and interpretations will have a material impact on the Company's and the Group's financial statements in the period of initial application.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group include AB Kauno energija and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are for the same reporting period as those of the Parent Company. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of uniform accounting principles for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
Businesses acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the transfer of control or until the date on which control is lost. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses are eliminated on consolidation. The gross income of subsidiaries is attributable to the owners of the enterprise and to the non-controlling interest, even if the result of the non-controlling interest is negative.
A subsidiary is an undertaking controlled, directly or indirectly, by its parent undertaking. Typically, a company is controlled when the Group directly or indirectly owns more than 50 percent of the company's share capital carrying the voting rights and/or when it is able to control the financial and operating activities so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements at the beginning and end of the control dates.
Changes in the Group's equity interest in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control of the Group by the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group's interest and noncontrolling interest are adjusted to reflect changes in their respective interests in subsidiaries. Any difference between the adjustment for the non-controlling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributable to the owners of the entity.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the sum of the fair value of the consideration received and the aggregate of the fair value of any retained interest; and (ii) the previous carrying amounts of the subsidiary's assets (including goodwill) and liabilities and non-controlling interests. When a subsidiary's assets are accounted for by remeasuring the fair value amount and the related gain or loss has been included in comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously included in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for in the same way as the disposal of the related asset (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings, as specified in the relevant IFRS). The fair value of the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at the date of the loss of control is treated as the fair value at initial recognition for subsequent accounting purposes in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, or, if appropriate, as the acquisition cost of the investment in an associate or jointly controlled entity at initial recognition.
In the statement of financial position of the company, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition cost method. Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised in profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" applies impairment criteria to determine whether it is necessary to recognise impairment losses in respect of the Company's investment in a subsidiary. When necessary, the full carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (the higher of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount. Any impairment losses recognised shall form part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in accordance with IAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
Intangible assets acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each reporting date, prospectively recording any changes in the estimate assessment. The amortisation calculation shall be discontinued from the first day of the month following the disposal of the asset or when the total cost of the acquisition of an intangible asset is transferred to cost or to the value of another asset. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life acquired separately are carried at cost less impairment losses.
An intangible asset is derecognised when it is sold or when no future economic benefit is expected from the use or sale of the asset. Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.
Amounts paid for licenses are capitalized and amortized over the term of validity (3 to 4 years).
The new software acquisition costs are capitalized and recognized as an intangible fixed asset if these costs are not an integral part of the hardware. Software is amortized over a period no longer than 3 years.
Costs incurred in order to restore or maintain the future economic benefits that the Company expects from the originally assessed standard of performance of existing software systems are recognised as an expense when the restoration or maintenance work is carried out.
Emission allowances received shall be accounted for using the net commitment method. Under this approach, the Group and the Company account for emission allowances at nominal value.
Commitments to acquire additional emission allowances are recognised when they arise (e.g. commitments are not accounted for on the basis of expected future emissions) and are accounted for only when the actual emissions of the Group and the Company exceed the amount of available emission allowances.
Under the net commitment approach, the Group and the Company assess the lack of emission allowances by comparing the quantity of emission allowances available with the actual annual emissions.
Sales of emission allowances are recorded at the amount of the sales transaction. Any differences between the fair value of the sale and the carrying amount of the allowances held shall be recognised as profit or loss, regardless of whether there is an actual or expected shortfall in the allowances at the time of the transaction. Where the sale of emission allowances results in an actual shortfall of emission allowances, the financial position reports shall recognise additional liabilities, including profits or losses that affect the relevant costs.
Property, plant and equipment is carried at acquisition cost, which does not include routine maintenance costs, less accumulated depreciation and estimated impairment losses, if any. The cost of acquisition includes the cost of replacing property, plant and equipment when they are incurred, provided that these costs qualify for the recognition of the asset.
Property classified as construction in progress, under construction for production, supply or administrative purposes, or for other purposes not yet determined, is carried at acquisition cost less impairment losses. The cost includes professional fees and capitalised borrowing costs of long run assets in accordance with the accounting policies of the Group and the Company. Depreciation of these assets shall begin using the same method of depreciation as for other immovable property when the property is ready for its intended use.
Depreciation is recognised in such a way that, over the useful life of the asset, its cost (excluding land and construction in progress) less its residual value is written off on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and depreciation methods are reviewed at each year-end, with any changes in the accounting estimate accounted for prospectively.
The useful service lives are reviewed every year to ensure that the period of depreciation is consistent with the expected useful life of the long-term tangible asset.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
| Years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 15 – 50 |
| Investment property | 50 |
| Buildings | 15 – 70 |
| Machinery and equipment | 5 – 20 |
| Vehicles | 4 – 10 |
| Plant and tools | 3 – 16 |
Land is not depreciated.
An asset is recognised as non-current when it has a useful life of more than one year and the acquisition cost exceeds EUR 144.81.
Property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases are depreciated over their useful lives using the same useful lives as own assets.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised when they are sold or when no future economic benefits are expected from the use or sale of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the sale or write-down of an item of property, plant and equipment is calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss in the profit (loss) statement and other comprehensive income.
Subsequent repair costs are added to the cost of an asset if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the Company from the expenditure and the cost of the expenditure can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the modified portion is derecognised. All other repair costs are recognised as an expense that affects profit or loss for the period when they are incurred.
Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other directly attributable costs. Depreciation is not charged on construction in progress until the asset is placed in service or is ready for use.
Property, plant and equipment, or groups of saleable assets that consist of assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale and not through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classifying an asset as held for sale, the asset (or parts of a pool of available-for-sale assets) is measured in accordance with the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted for application in the European Union (non-current assets held for sale are accounted for at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less the cost of selling such assets).
Impairment losses on assets held for sale measured at the time of initial classification and subsequent gains and losses related to the revaluation of assets shall be included in profit or loss. Revenue from the reversal of depreciation is not recognised at a higher amount than accumulated impairment losses.
When property, plant and equipment is recorded as held for sale, depreciation is no longer charged.
At each date of preparation of the statement of financial position, the Group and the Company shall review the residual value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group and the Company assesses the recoverable amount of the asset in order to be able to assess the impairment loss (if any). Where it is impossible to assess the recoverable value of assets, the Group and the Company estimates the recoverable amount in the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, the assets of the Group and the Company are also allocated to separate incomegenerating groups of assets, or alternatively, they are allocated to the lowest cash-generating unit for which a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments conditions, time value of money and the risks associated with the assets, which was not taken into account in estimating the future cash flows.
If the estimated recoverable amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is less than its carrying amount of this asset, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the recoverable value of this asset (or cash-generating unit). Impairment losses are recognised immediately through profit or loss. The Group and the Company have one group of cash-generating units for the heat business.
If after the recognition of impairment loss the value of the asset increases, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the newly estimated recoverable amount, but so that the increase does not exceed the carrying value of the asset (cash-generating unit) if the losses due to value impairment in previous years had not been recognized. Reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment are assets that the Company manages and controls in order to generate rental income and/or increase the value of these assets. Assets that are used for the production of goods, services or for administrative purposes, and the sale of which is classified as a typical activity of the Company, not included in property, plant and equipment. Investment property is initially valued at acquisition cost, including related transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, buildings are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis so as to write off the cost of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's useful life of 8-50 years. Depreciation of investment property is accounted for in the cost item of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income statement.
The Group and the Company classify their financial assets in the following groups:
The classification depends on the financial asset management model and the contractual cash flow conditions.
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they arise. On initial recognition, all other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets (other than trade receivables without a significant financing component) or financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus, if the instrument is not measured at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue. Trade receivables without a significant financing component are initially recognised at transaction price.
At initial recognition, financial assets are classified and measured as follows:
Financial assets are not reclassified in subsequent periods unless the Group and the Company change their financial asset management model. In this case, all related financial assets shall be reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following criteria and is not classified as an asset measured at fair value through profit or loss:
The carrying amount of a financial asset is written down, in whole or in part, if there is no realistic prospect of its recovery. This usually occurs when the Group and the Company determine that the debtor does not have sufficient assets or sources of income to generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts written off. However, financial assets that are written off may be recovered to meet debt collection requirements imposed by the Group and the Company.
The Group and the Company assess the probability of default at the initial recognition of financial assets and at each balance sheet date, taking into account whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. In order to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Group and the Company compare the risk of default on assets at the date of preparation of the statements with the risk of default on initial recognition. In analysing whether credit risk has increased significantly, the following factors shall be assessed:
actual or foreseeable material adverse changes in the business environment, financial or economic situation which may materially affect the ability of the customer to meet its obligations;
actual or anticipated significant changes in the client's performance.
Based on the Group's and the Company's debt recovery statistics, management considers that the credit risk has increased from the time of initial recognition only if the contractual payments are delayed by more than 30 days.
The Group and the Company apply a simplified approach to the calculation of lifetime expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset, using the provisioning matrix for all trade receivables and other receivables. In order to calculate expected credit losses using the provisioning matrix, trade receivables and other receivables are classified into separate groups according to the general characteristics of credit risk. The amounts of each group are analysed on the basis of the number of days past due and a loss indicator shall be assigned to each group of amounts past due. Loss ratios are calculated using management's expert judgement using statistical recovery information for the last 2 years.
For receivables from customers that do not have a significant financing component, the estimated credit loss is accounted for over the entire term of the debt.
Such information shall be adjusted, if necessary, in the light of forward-looking information. The table below provides information on the expected credit losses calculated for the Group and the Company for each group of overdue amounts.
As trade receivables and other receivables generally do not include collateral or other credit protection, the expected loss ratio corresponds to the probability of default.
| Trade receivables: | Overdue in days | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Not overd ue |
from 1 to 30 |
from 31 to 90 |
from 91 to 180 |
from 181 to 270 |
from 271 to 360 |
from 361 up to 720 |
more than 721 |
| Expected credit loss rate % |
0 | 0 | 20 | 50 | 60 | 80 | 90 | 100 |
| Company | ||||||||
| Expected credit loss rate % |
0 | 0 | 20 | 50 | 60 | 80 | 90 | 100 |
Till 2022, the Group and the Company used derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk. Such derivatives are recognised at fair value on the trade date and remeasured at fair value in subsequent periods. Derivative financial instruments are accounted for as financial assets when their fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when their fair value is negative.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of derivatives during the year is accounted for directly in profit or loss.
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined by reference to the market value of similar instruments.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Net realisable value refers to the estimated selling price of inventories less any estimated selling costs. The cost of inventories is calculated using the FIFO method.
The cost of inventories is reduced by discounts and write-downs received from suppliers during the reporting period and applied to inventories held in stock.
A provision is recorded when, as a result of a past event, the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) and it is probable that the Group and the Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate at the end of the reporting period of the consideration that will be required to settle the present obligation, taking into account the risks and uncertainties arising from the obligation. When a provision is valued using the estimated cash flows to cover a liability, its carrying value is the present value of these cash flows.
Where it is expected that part or all of the economic benefits needed to cover the provision will be recovered from a third party, the amount receivable is covered by the asset if it is certain that the compensation will be received and that the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Cash consists of cash in bank accounts and in cash in hand, and cash in transit. Cash equivalents are shortterm, highly liquid investments that are readily converted to known amounts of cash. The term of such investments does not exceed three months, and the risk of value changes is very insignificant.
Recognition of post-employment benefits is recognised as an expense when the employees have performed the service that entitles them to the benefits.
The post-employment benefit liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position reflect the present value of the defined benefit obligations in the collective agreement, adjusted by unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and unrecognised past service costs, and reduced by the fair value of the plan assets. Any assets arising from this calculation may not exceed the cost of unrecognised actuarial losses and past service plus the present value of repayments and reductions in future plan contributions.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset the preparation of which for the intended use or sale takes a long time are included in the cost of the asset until the asset is prepared for the intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on a temporary investment of a specific amount borrowed that has not yet been used for a qualifying asset shall be deducted from the borrowing costs allowed for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
The Group and the Company recognise financial liabilities at the acquisition cost of the liabilities.
The Group and the Company classify financial liabilities into the following categories:
The Group and the Company classify trade debts, financial debts, leasing liabilities, interest liabilities and other payables as financial liabilities measured at amortised cost.
The Group and the Company derecognise financial liabilities when, and only when, the obligations of the Group and the Company are discharged, cancelled or expire.
At the commencement date, the lessee shall measure the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments outstanding at that date, including the following:
Rents is discounted using the interest rate provided for in the lease agreement, if that rate can be easily determined. If that rate cannot be easily determined, the tenant shall use the borrowing rate calculated by the lessee.
The interest rate specified in the lease is the interest rate that results in the present value of the lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value being equal to the sum of the fair value of the leased asset and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessor.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using an imputed interest rate consistent with the discount rate used to discount the lease payments. Interest expense relating to a lease liability is allocated over the lease term and recognised in profit or loss.
The cost of an asset held under right of use at initial recognition comprises:
Thereafter, the lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. If, before the end of the lease period, the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the tenant , or if the price of the asset managed under the right of use indicates that the tenant will exercise the right to purchase, the tenant shall calculate the depreciation of the asset managed under the right of use from the beginning to the end of the useful life of the leased asset. Alternatively, the lessee shall calculate the depreciation of the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of: the end of the useful life of an asset held under a right-of-use arrangement, or the end of a lease term.
Payments relating to short-term leases or leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense through profit or loss on a straight-line basis. Short-term leases are considered to be leases with a term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets include tools and small items of office furniture.
In transactions where the Company is a lessor, the assessment of whether the concluded Agreement is a finance or operating lease are carried out on the date of commencement of the lease. For the purpose of determining the type of lease assignment, all risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are assessed jointly or substantially transferred from the lease.
If substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased asset are transferred, such leases are treated as finance leases. Otherwise, as operating leases.
In transactions in which the Company acts as an intermediate Lessor, the sublease shall be classified on the basis of the right-of-use assets specified in the main agreement.
Government grants are not recognised until there is sufficient assurance that the Group and the Company will comply with the requirements associated with them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the period in which the Group and the Company recognise the related reimbursement of the costs for which they are intended. Government grants, the principal condition whereof is that the Group and the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets, are recognised as deferred income in the statement of financial position and are recognised in a systematic and rational manner in profit or loss over the useful life of the related assets. Grants that are received in the form of long-term assets, plant and equipment or intended to purchase, construct or otherwise acquire, are considered to be asset-related grants. The Company classifies assets acquired free of charge in this group of grants.
Assets received for no consideration are carried at fair value on initial recognition.
Receivables for reimbursement of expenses or income foregone during the reporting period or prior period, as well as all other grants not attributable to grants related to assets, shall be treated as grants that reduce costs. Grants related to revenue are recognised as part of the utilised portion to the extent that costs are incurred during the period (by reducing the proportion of costs incurred) or to the extent of the estimated foregone revenue for which the grant is intended to compensate.
The unused balance of the grant is shown in the Grants (deferred income) line of the statement of financial position.
Income tax expense reflects current year tax and deferred tax.
Tax of the current year is payable based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the profit reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of the income or expense that is taxable or deductible in the following year and the income or expense that is never taxable or deductible. Income tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The Group and the Company are subject to a corporate income tax rate of 15 per cent in 2022 (15 per cent in 2021).
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences relate to goodwill, or to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities (other than in a business merger) that are not affected by either taxable or financial profit at the time they arise (transactions).
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised to offset temporary tax differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to realise the benefit of the temporary differences and is expected to be realised in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered by the Group and the Company.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that will apply to the Group and the Company in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been or will be approved before the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group and the Company expect, at the reporting period, to recover or to settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax is accounted for in profit or loss unless they relate to items not recognised in profit or loss (in other comprehensive income or directly in equity). In such a case, the tax is also recognised outside profit or loss, or when it arises on initial recognition of the business combination. In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
The basic and diluted earnings per share shall be calculated by dividing the profit for the reporting period attributable to shareholders by the weighted average of the ordinary shares issued. There is no difference between basic and diluted earnings per share.
The Group and the Company recognise revenue to reflect the transfer of the committed goods or services to the purchasers in an amount that is consistent with the consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the said goods or services, less value added tax, discounts and rebates. An entity shall recognise revenue on the basis of this core guiding principle in the following steps:
Step 1: identification of the contract (s) with the buyer – the contract is an agreement between two or more parties that defines their enforceable rights and obligations.
Step 2: identification of performance obligations under the contract – obligations under the contract to transfer the goods or services to the buyer. If these goods or services can be distinguished, such liabilities are treated as operating liabilities, which are accounted for separately.
Step 3: the transaction price is determined – the transaction price is equal to the contracted amount of consideration that the entity expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the buyer.
The transaction price may consist of a fixed amount of consideration paid by the buyer, but may sometimes also include variable consideration or consideration other than cash. The transaction price is also adjusted for the time value of money if the contract includes a significant funding component, as well as for any consideration payable to the buyer.
Step 4: The transaction price is attributable to the contracted performance obligation – as a rule, an entity attributes the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling prices of each good or service contracted to be transferred. If data on individual selling prices is not observable in the market, the entity makes an estimate.
Step 5: revenue is recognised when the entity discharges the performance obligation by transferring the committed goods or services to the buyer (i.e. when the buyer obtains control of those goods or services). The amount of revenue recognised is equal to the amount attributed to the settled performance obligation. An operating liability may be settled at a certain point in time or over a certain period of time.
Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the Company, and when specific criteria have been met for each type of revenue as described below. The Group and the Company rely on historical performance, taking into account the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
Revenue is recognised using the methods described below:
Revenue from the sale of heat is recognised on the basis of bills issued to residential customers and other customers for heat and hot water heating. Consumers are billed once a month according to the readings of the heat meter. At the end of the period, revenue not invoiced for services rendered is accrued on an accrual basis.
Proceeds from the sale of goods are recognized when all of the following conditions are met:
it is probable that the Group and the Company will obtain the economic benefits associated with the transaction and the costs incurred or to be incurred in connection with the transaction can be measured reliably.
The Group and the Company do not have, and do not expect to have, any contracts where the period between the provision of goods or services and payment by the customer exceeds one year. For this reason, the Group and the Company do not account separately for the financing element.
Lease income is recognised on an accrual basis when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group and the Company and can be measured reliably Late payment fee is recognized as income when it is received.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders' right to receive payment is established (if it is likely that the economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the Company and the amount of the income can be measured reliably).
Interest income is recognized when it is probable that the Group and the Company will receive economic benefits and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued over the period, according to the outstanding part and the applicable effective interest rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset up to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Expenses are recognised on the basis of the accrual and comparability principles in the reporting period in which the related income is earned, regardless of the time of spending the cash. In those cases when costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not generate income during the future periods, they are recognised as incurred.
Amount of costs is usually accounted in the amount of paid and payable, excluding VAT. When long period of settlement is provided, and interest is not distinguished, the amount of costs is assessed by discounting the settlement amount at the market interest rate.
For the purpose of preparing the financial statements of individual Group entities, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currencies (foreign currencies) are accounted for at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the daily exchange rate of that day. Non-monetary items that are carried at fair value and denominated in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate at the date of fair value measurement. Non-monetary units carried at the cost of acquiring a foreign currency are not converted.
The presentation currency shall be the euro (EUR). Operations denominated in foreign currency shall be converted into euro at the official rate of the European Central Bank on that date. Monetary assets and liabilities are converted into euro at the exchange rate at the date of the statement of financial position.
Exchange differences arising from operations in foreign currencies shall be included in profit or loss at the time when they arise. Gains and losses arising from exchange rate changes in the conversion of monetary assets or liabilities into euro shall be included in profit or loss when they arise.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of income, expenses, assets and liabilities that are disclosed and to disclose uncertainties at the date of preparation of the report. However, the uncertainty of these assumptions and estimates may affect the results, which may require significant future adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities.
The main assumptions and other significant sources of measurement uncertainty that affect the future at the date of preparation of the statements of financial position and which give rise to material risks and which may require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities in the next financial year are discussed below:
The main assumptions used to determine the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are:
To assess the recoverability of investments in subsidiaries, the Company's management calculates the recoverable amount of the investment by discounting the future cash flows of the subsidiaries to their present value using a weighted average discount rate on capital costs reflecting current market assumptions about the time value of money (Note 5).
The Company's management forms a 100% impairment charge on inventories (except for the process fuels) acquired earlier than one year ago (Note 8).
The Group and the Company recognise a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortised cost as follows: trade receivables, other receivables and accrued income. Loss ratios are calculated using management's expert judgement using statistical recovery information for the last 2 years. In determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and in assessing the amount of the ECL, the Group and the Company consider reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and accessible without excessive cost or effort. This information includes both quantitative and qualitative data and analysis based on the Group's historical experience and reasoned credit assessment, including prospective information.
Provisions for losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the total carrying amount of such assets. The provision for impairment losses is presented in the income statement and included in operating expenses as an impairment charge.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, with a statement of what is expected to be the tax profit before the losses are offset. Significant management judgements are required to determine the amounts of deferred tax assets that may be recognised based on estimates of the expected future amounts and periods of taxable profits and based on future tax planning strategies (Note 22).
Fair value is the amount for which an asset or service could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are valued based on quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models or option pricing models, depending on the circumstances.
In determining the fair value of assets or liabilities, the Company focuses on available market data, as much as possible. The fair values are presented in three levels of the fair value hierarchies on the basis of the variables used in the valuation methods:
Level 1: prices quoted at active markets of similar assets or liabilities (unadjusted);
Level 2: other variables except the quoted prices of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 that are observed directly (i.e., as prices), or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);
Level 3: variables of assets and liabilities not based on the observable market data (non-observable variables).
Where for the purpose of measuring the fair value of assets or liabilities the variables may be attributed to the different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the hierarchy level of the fair value to which the entire fair value established is attributed shall be established on the basis of the lowest level variable material for the measurement of the entire fair value. The Company recognizes the amounts of the fair value hierarchy levels transferred to the end of the reporting period in which the change occurred.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources generating economic benefits is small.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but is disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
Post-reporting events that provide additional information about the situation of the Group and the Company at the date of preparation of the statements of financial position (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the date of the balance sheet that are not corrective events, are described in the notes when they are significant.
When preparing the financial statements, assets and liabilities, income and expenses are not offset unless the specific International Accounting Standards specifically require such offsetting.
.
Segment information shall be reported in the same manner as other internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operational decision maker responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the segments is the Board, which takes strategic decisions.
The activities of the Group and the Company are carried out in a single segment, therefore, these financial statements do not provide additional disclosures about the segments.

The cost of the heat production capacity reservation service is included in the basic heat price as one of the components in accordance with the methodology established by the Board. As a result of the installation of new generation facilities and the modernisation of existing generation facilities by the Company in recent years, the thermal capacity reservation service has not been purchased from 2020 onwards, and consequently no thermal capacity reserve costs are incurred. At the end of 2019, the Company applied to the Board to exclude the costs of the power reserve from the heat price, but the Board only approved the recalculation of the heat price from November 2020. The Company made a provision from the beginning of the year to reimburse the unrecovered, but over-priced, costs of the power reserve, and from the beginning of the autumn 2020 heating season started to reimburse the provision for this accumulated overpayment through a reduction in the price to consumers. The Company has made a power reserve tax provision of EUR 959 thousand in 10 months of 2020 to cover future price reduction obligations. In October to December 2020, EUR 312,000 was returned to consumers as a result of price cuts. During the months of January and August 2021, the remaining part of EUR 647 thousand was returned to consumers. The Company formed a provision of EUR 577 thousand as of 30 June 2021 to ensure reserve capacity, part of which has been returned to customers as of 2022, for a total of EUR 498 thousand returned during 2022, 65 thousand was returned in the first half of the 2023 year. The company in 2023 June 30 additionally formed a reserve of 1,947 thousand EUR amount included in the price of sold heat and to cover the differences in the actual costs of electricity, purchased heat, fuel and production, i.e. to cover future price reduction obligations.
