The condensed interim financial statements of the Company and the Group for the nine-month period ended 31 September 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the IFRSs) as applicable to interim financial reporting (International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 "Interim Financial Reporting"). This unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. These financial statements do not include all the information necessary for the preparation of the full set of consolidated and separate financial statements. However, selected notes are included to explain events and transactions and to provide an understanding of significant changes in the Group's and the Company's financial position and financial performance.
All accounting principles applied in the preparation of the condensed interim financial information are the same as those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements for 2021.
The new standards and amendments effective from 1 January 2022 have no material impact on the Group's and Company's financial statements.
The currency of the submission is the euro. These statements are presented in thousands of euro, unless otherwise stated.
The Company's financial year coincides with the calendar year.
The management of the Company has approved the following interim financial statements as at 25 October 2022.
In preparing financial statements in accordance with IFRSs adopted for application in the EU, management shall make calculations and estimates of assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and of amounts related to assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are consistent with current conditions and the results of which lead to conclusions about the residual values of assets and liabilities that are not available from other sources. The actual results could differ from the estimates. The estimates and related assumptions are kept under constant review. Adjustments to estimates are recognised prospectively.
The key assumptions and other significant sources of estimation uncertainty at the date of the interim statements of financial position that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities within the next financial year are the same as those described in the most recent set of annual separate and consolidated financial statements.
Until 1 January 2019 the Group and the Company determined at the time of signing the agreement whether the agreement meets the definition of lease in accordance with IFRIC 4 "Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease". From 1 January 2019, when an agreement is concluded, the determining whether an arrangement contains a lease or includes a lease is based on the new definition. Under IFRS 16, A contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
In evaluating or re-evaluating an agreement that contains a lease component, the Group and the Company allocate the contractual consideration provided for in the agreement to each of the parts of the agreement that have and do not have a lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, in the case of leases of immovable property where the Group and the Company are lessees, the Group and the Company have chosen not to separate the lease-free components and instead to account for the lease-free and lease-containing components together as a single lease component.
The Group and the Company, as tenant, have previously classified the lease as an operating or finance lease based on an assessment of whether the lease agreement essentially provides for the transfer of all risks and rewards of ownership. The Group and the Company recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in lease agreements in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 16. These leases are shown in the balance sheet.
Assets held under right-of-use, the Group and the Company show under right-of-use assets at 30 September 2022 were EUR 1152 thousand and EUR 951 thousand respectively (on 31 December 2021: EUR 1,207 thousand and EUR 1,006 thousand respectively).
Recognised lease liabilities are presented in the statements of financial position under leasing (finance lease) and long-term financial debts and leasing (finance lease) for the current year.
At initial recognition, the transaction price of an acquired asset or a liability assumed in an exchange transaction entered into for a particular asset or liability is the price paid at the time the asset is acquired or the liability is assumed (the acquisition price). In comparison, the fair value of the asset or liability is the price that would be obtained from the sale of the asset or paid for the disposal of the liability (the sale/transfer price).
If the Company initially measures an asset or liability at fair value and the transaction price differs from fair value, the difference is recognised as a gain or loss unless otherwise specified in the IFRSs.
The fair value measurement is based on the assumption that a transaction for the sale of an asset or the disposal of a liability will be carried out either:
Where observable variables that are directly observable by the Company are not available at the measurement date, i.e. prices quoted (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, fair value is determined by reference to adjusted observable variables that are directly observable. Adjusted variables are:
Where observable variables are not available (directly or indirectly), fair value shall be determined by reference to unobservable variables that the Group and the Company produce using valuation techniques.
The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset shall take into account the ability of the market participant to generate economic benefits by using the specific asset to its maximum and best value or by selling it to another market participant that will use it to its maximum and best value.
The fair value of liability reflects the impact of inactivity risk. Inactivity risk includes, but is not limited to, the entity's own credit risk. When determining the fair value of a liability, an entity shall assess the effects of its credit risk (financial position) and other factors that may affect the likelihood that the liability will or will not be met.
The Group and the Company must increase the use of relevant observable variables and reduce the use of unobservable variables in order to achieve the objective of fair value measurement by calculating the price at which a liability or equity instrument would be transferred under a legally orderly transaction between market participants at the valuation date in accordance with prevailing market conditions.
Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, or for which fair value is not determinable but for which disclosures are made, are classified by the Group and the Company in accordance with the fair value hierarchy, which categorises variables into three levels depending on their availability:
When the variables used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability may be classified in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the entire fair value measurement result is classified in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level variable that is significant to the entire measurement.

AB SEB bankas has determined that the Company must comply with the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio set for the quarter, which must not exceed 4.5. Under the loan agreements, the Company's equity ratio (total equity/total assets) must be at least 35%. The European Investment Bank's requirements also stipulate that the Company must comply with both of these indicators.
As at 30 September 2022 and 31 December 2021, the Company partially missed the target for the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio.
Loan agreements contain certain restrictions. The Company may not grant dividends, issue and/or obtain new loans, make grants, sell or lease mortgaged assets without the written consent of the banks. Such written consents were obtained from the banks.
The Group's and the Company's immovable property, bank accounts and land leases were pledged to banks as collateral for loans.
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.
