FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (UNAUDITED) FOR 9 MONTHS OF 2020, MEUR

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (UNAUDITED) FOR 9 MONTHS OF 2020, TEUR

SEGMENTS EXPLANATION:

  • Oil Terminals (OT) – include:
  • Klaipėda Oil Terminal and
  • Subačius Oil Terminal
  • Regulated LNG activities (LNGT): - Klaipėda LNG Terminal
  • Commercial LNG activities (comLNG):
  • small-scale LNG reloading station in Klaipėda
  • operation of LNG terminal in Açu port in Brazil and
  • Business development projects and consultations.

BUSINESS FACTORS:

First 9 months of 2020 were full of destabilizing events for oil industry and reducing demand for oil products which put a significant pressure on KN's oil business activity and results. Global and regional oil market developments in Q3:

  • ❑ COVID-19 has a continuous effect on the oil market. In the beginning of September the sales of spot crude oil cargoes globally started decreasing, demand of the storage in tankers went up due to market participants anticipation of the increase in number of COVID-19 cases. Also, since the peak at the end of June the total amount stored in large-capacity floating storages tankers is also decreasing but remains at record-high levels. It is anticipated that the second wave of COVID-19 will further strengthen demand for storage.
  • ❑ European refinery margins struggle near breakeven. It is forecasted, that more refining capacity than usual will shut for maintenance in Europe this autumn, in part because of the pressing weight of high product stocks. Refinery utilization rates fell to just over 68% in May-August, effectively close to minimal operating levels, and down from nearly 82% a year earlier. The figure is unlikely to rise much before, during and after the maintenance. It will further influence volumes of product transshipment.
  • ❑ Due to the geopolitcal circumstances and COVID-19 impact, if compared 2020 Q3 to 2020 Q2, in total Baltic's oil product transshipment amount (tankers) in Lithuania decreased by 5%, in Estonia and Latvia by 6%.

Despite all these challenges KN continues to:

  • lead among the Baltic states oil terminals, demonstrating high transshipment volumes,
  • develop new activities, such as transshipment of biofuels, bitumen,
  • focus on and explore emerging business opportunities.

Based on KN and Argus Neftetransport newsletter data

BUSINESS FACTORS:

  • LNG security supplement reduction impact 20,1 MEUR for 9 months 2020.
  • Low demand affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the oversupplied gas market, and warm 2019/2020 winter season have increased the attractiveness of LNG. As a result, during the three quarters of this year, more than 71 % of gas in Lithuania was imported via LNG terminal in Klaipėda.
  • During the first nine months of 2020, the utilization of the LNG terminal in Klaipėda reached more than 50%. Due to favorable LNG market conditions, gas exports from Lithuania to other Baltic countries and Finland have reached 7,8 TWh (volumes were two times higher than in the same period in 2019).
  • The average Dutch TTF Natural Gas Index was equal to 6,15 EUR/MWh in the 3rd quarter of 2020 in comparison to 11,02 EUR/MWh in the 3rd quarter of 2019 (source: ICE).

  • LNG terminals in Europe reached the record high level of utilization during the first half of 2020. However, YTD (as of Oct-21) utilization slightly decreased due to strong demand for LNG cargoes in JKM market.

  • LNG terminal in Klaipeda has maintained the stable level of utilization (~50%).
