Management's foreword

Dear Customers, Partners, Employees, Shareholders,

We present you the results of Ignitis Group for the first quarter of 2020. The report contains key events for your reference showing to what extent the target objectives of the Group are being implemented.

During the first quarter of 2020, we faced challenges related to the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine. It affected everyone, so Ignitis Group took the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our employees, business continuation, and the provision of support to our financially affected customers. This extraordinary situation proved that, during times of uncertainty, the help of a dedicated and professional team is of vital importance. I thank all the colleagues for their efforts and determination to go the extra mile.

Despite the challenging period, the first quarter of the year was also marked by further development of solutions that make the world energy-smart and ensure the expansion of our services abroad. On the 1st of January, Ignitis became one of the first players in the Finnish gas market which was recently opened to competition. Over the course of two weeks it became Finland's largest alternative gas supplier.

There was also good news in the field of green generation. Ignitis Gamyba in Lithuania started the installation of the largest 3 MW solar power plant in the Baltic States. In March, Ignitis Group signed a loan agreement of EUR 60m with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the construction and operation of a mediumsize onshore windfarm, consisting of 29 turbines, with a total installed capacity of 94 MW in Pomerania Wind Farm, Poland.

Innovations and new smart solutions are further being introduced in the field of distribution. ESO began testing a unique project of microgrid energy. It allowed us to expand the distribution grid more efficiently by opting for the microgrid technology instead of building a regular power line offering power access to a more remote area. This solution not only helps to reduce the investment amount but also let to offer more reliable and cheaper electricity supply services for the customers.

More changes await us in the future as they are a constant feature of the energy sector. We work as efficiently as possible to ensure that Ignitis Group will be at the frontline of this transformation.

Energy markets review

Wholesale electricity market

In Q1 2020, prices fell remarkably in all of the bidding areas of the Nord Pool Nordic power exchange. Compared to the same quarter 2019, the average system price was lower by approx. 67% (Q1 2019 – 46.83 Eur/MWh, Q1 2020– 15.39 Eur/MWh), in the fourth price area of Sweden, with which Lithuania is connected through the NordBalt power link – approx. 57% (Q1 2019– 46.85 Eur/MWh, Q1 2020 – 20.31 Eur/MWh), in Finland – approx. 50% (Q1 2019 – 47.52 Eur/MWh, Q1 2020 – 23.99 Eur/MWh), in Baltic region – approx. 42% (Q1 2019 – 47.84 Eur/MWh, Q1 2020 – 27.60 Eur/MWh).

It is noteworthy that in Lithuania during certain periods prices were lower than in Latvia and Estonia, approx. 0.4% in Q1 2020. In Q1 2020, the average price difference between Lithuania and Sweden in the fourth zone was approx. seven times higher than in Q1 2019 and reached approx. 7.22 Eur/MWh (Q1 2019 – approx. 0.97 Eur/MWh).

In Q1 2020, compared to the same quarter 2019, total energy consumption in the price areas of Nord Pool power exchange decreased by approx. 3.5%, wind farm production increased by approx. 39.77% (in Lithuania – approx. 12%), hydroelectric power plant – approx. 8.72%, nuclear power plant production decreased by approx. 7.05%. Lower consumption and increased hydroelectric power plant production have been affected by milder weather, higher than normal average temperatures in all prices areas, in Q1 2020 average temperature was approx. 2.5 degrees higher compared to the same period 2019 and approx. 4.1 degrees higher than normal.

According to Nord Pool data electricity demand in Lithuania decreased approx. 2.43% compared to the same quarter 2019 – approx. 3.15 TWh (excl. Kruonis PSHP demand). In Latvia demand decreased by approx. 2.85%, totalled 1.90 TWh, in Estonia – approx. 4.24%, totalled 2.26 TWh. In Q1 2020 Lithuania produced approx. 18% more electricity than in Q1 2019, in Latvia – approx. 9%, meanwhile Estonia – approx. 53% less. Lithuania remains an energy-deficit country, producing around 35% of the country's demand, in Latvia local production covers almost all country's demand, Estonia remains an energy-deficit country too, producing around 48% of the country's demand, due to decision to shut down polluting oil shale fired power stations in 2019.

In Q1 2020, commercial import from third countries decreased by approx. 50% compared to Q1 2019, from Scandinavia increased approx. two times. Significant increment of the import from Scandinavia has been affected by increased production of renewable energy sources, which formed lower prices.

Natural gas market

In Q1 2020, prices in the natural gas market have already started to fall before the COVID-19 outbreak, mainly due to oversupply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) on the market and high stock levels in European natural gas storage facilities along with a mild winter in Europe and other parts of the world.

Declining demand for natural gas in China and India brought excess LNG to the market and accelerated price declines. Outbreak of the virus in Southern Europe could not support the demand neither. In February 2020, LNG price in Asia followed a sharp decline and approached European price levels, although it is usually traded at a premium to European hubs.

As at 31 March 2020, the European natural gas storage filling rate stood at 54%, which was 13% higher than a year ago.

In Q1 2020, 5.2 TWh or 16 times more natural gas was supplied from the Klaipėda LNG terminal to customers of Lithuania than in Q1 2019. According to the data of the Lithuanian transmission system operator, the consumption of natural gas in the country was 10% lower than in Q1 2019 and reached 7.5 TWh.

Analysis of key operating indicators

Electricity

Distributed electricity in Q1 2020 remained at a similar level and amounted to 2.53 TWh, compared to Q1 2019.

Electricity generated increased by 58.4%, in comparison to Q1 2019, and amounted to 0.39 TWh in Q1 2020. Increase was mainly driven by higher electricity generation in Kruonis PSHP and Elektrenai Complex. Electricity generation volumes at Kruonis PSHP increased by 205.1% as a result of effective utilisation of fluctuations in electricity prices in Q1 2020. Electricity generation volumes at the Elektrėnai Complex increased almost 6.5 times in Q1 2020, compared with Q1 2019, and reached 0.05 TWh, as a result of full commercial availability in the CCGT, low gas and emission allowance prices. Therefore, as a result of higher electricity generation in Elektrenai Complex the share of green electricity generated in Q1 2020 decreased to 87.1% from 96.9% in Q1 2019.

SAIDI ratio deteriorated and was 144.55 minutes (Q1 2019: 26.17 minutes). SAIFI indicator was equal to 0.43 interruptions (Q1 2019: 0.35 interruptions) in Q1 2020. Deterioration of quality indicators of continuous electricity supply mainly caused by storm Laura (March 12-13).

During Q1 2020, 5,694 new connection points and 2,861 upgrades were completed in the electricity distribution network. The number of new electricity connection points and upgrades increased by 4.8% compared to Q1 2019.

Gas

The volume of gas distributed in Q1 2020 decreased by 13.0% and amounted to 2.41 TWh (Q1 2019: 2.76 TWh). In Q1 2020, higher average air temperatures were the main contributor to the reduction in gas distribution. The volume of gas sold increased by 16.9% and amounted to 4.26 TWh in Q1 2020 (Q1 2019: 3.64 TWh). This was mainly influenced by entry into Finnish gas

market.

Gas distribution SAIDI ratio improved in Q1 2020 and was 0.05 minutes (Q1 2019: 0.21 minutes) and SAIFI ratio was approximately equal to 0.001 interruptions (Q1 2019: 0.002 interruptions). Improvement of the quality indicators as a result of third party supply disruptions for a smaller number of customers comparing with the same period last year

In Q1 2020, 1,795 new connection points were completed in the gas distribution network, which is 13.0% less than during Q1 2019.

Heat

Heat generation in Q1 2020 increased 27.4%, compared to Q1 2019, as a result of test runs of Kaunas CHP.

Revenue of the Group decreased by 5.2% (EUR -17.8 million) in Q1 2020 as compared to Q1 2019 and totalled EUR 325.7 million. The main reasons causing Revenue changes were as follows:

    1. Lower Revenue of the Flexible Generation segment (EUR -19.4 million compared to Q1 2019). The segment's Revenue decrease was mainly driven by EUR 9.3 million compensation received in Q1 2019 which was received from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania for the indemnification of potentially inflicted damage by Alstom Power Ltd during the implementation of the project of Lietuvos Elektrinė in 2005–2009. 2019 Q1 sales were also boosted by sales of fuel oil stocks that were no longer in use. 2020 Q1 revenue also decreased due to lower revenue of CCGT as in 2019 it provided tertiary reserve services and earned return on investment and in 2020 CCGT provides isolated electricity system operation services and return on investment is not included in the price of services.
    1. Lower Revenue from the Customers and Solutions segment (EUR -14.4 million compared to Q1 2019). The decline was mainly driven by lower gas sales to B2B customers due to lower gas market price (EUR -13.0 million), lower gas sales to residential customers due to lower tariff set by regulator (EUR -5.5 million) and lower electricity and related products trading revenues (EUR -4.1 million). Decrease was partly offset by increase of revenue from public electricity supply activities due to higher electricity price set by the regulator (EUR +6.7 million) and increase of retail electricity supply income due to higher volume of sold electricity (EUR +4.0 million).
    1. Higher Revenue of the Networks segment (EUR 7.8 million compared to Q1 2019). The increase was mainly driven by higher power distribution revenue (EUR 10.9 million) and transmission revenue (EUR 7.9 million) due to increase of tariffs set by regulator. Increase was partly offset by decrease of gas distribution Revenue (EUR -6.8 million) and guaranteed supply of electricity revenue (EUR -4.6 million).
    1. Higher Revenue from the Green Generation segment (EUR +5.6 million compared to Q1 2019). Revenue growth was driven by higher sales of Kruonis PSHP (EUR +4.5 million), favourable wind conditions (EUR +1.5 million) and testing of KKJ (EUR +0.8 million). The above reasons outweighed lower revenue of Kaunas HPP (EUR -2.2 million).

Expenses

Purchases of electricity and gas

The Group's purchases of electricity and gas amounted to EUR 225.0 million in Q1 2020 and decreased by 10.6% compared to Q1 2019. Decrease was caused by lower gas purchases for trade (EUR -28.5 million) due to lower sales to business clients and residential customers.

SG&A expense

In Q1 2020 SG&A expense was equal to EUR 38.3 million and rose by 2.9% (EUR +1.1 million). This change was mainly driven by increase in Salaries and related expenses by EUR 3.5 million (or +16.4%) which increased mainly due to the Group's average salary growth, which was in line with the average salary growth in the country, increased vacation accrual and increased overtime resulted from repair of failures in the electricity distribution network after storm Laura in Q1 2020.

Other operating expenses

Depreciation expenses increased by EUR 0.7 million in Q1 2020 because of the increase of non-current assets resulting from new Investments.

Revaluation of emission allowances expenses increased due to decreased prices of emission allowances in March 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA*

Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 85.1 million in Q1 2020 and was 8.8% or EUR 6.9 million higher than in Q1 2019. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 22.8% (Q1 2019: 26.1%).

Adjusted EBITDA by segments

The main reasons causing Q1 2020 Adjusted EBITDA changes compared to Q1 2019 were as follows:

  • 1. Networks grew by EUR 4.8 million. The increase was mainly driven by the growing value of regulated assets.
  • 2. Customers and Solutions increased by EUR 3.5 million. The growth was mainly driven by higher volume of gas export sales (mainly due to sales in Finland) and lower gas market prices led to increased margins.
  • 3. Green Generation increased by EUR 1.9 million. This was mainly influenced by better result of Kruonis PSHP (EUR +4.4 million) which was mainly caused by effective utilisation of fluctuations in electricity prices. The growth was negatively impacted by worsened result of Kaunas HPP (EUR -2.3 million) due to lower water level in Nemunas river.
  • 4. Flexible Generation decreased by EUR 2.2 million. Decrease was caused by lower result from CCGT regulated activity (EUR -1.1 million) and gain from sale of fuel oil stocks in Q1 2019 (EUR -1.8 million).
    1. Result from other activities decreased by EUR 1.1 million mainly due to lower results of non-core businesses.

(1) Elimination of the difference between the actual profit earned during the reporting period and profit allowed by the regulator.

(2) Elimination of temporary fluctuations in the fair value of derivatives related to other periods (including contracts that are settled in the current period but are related to future periods). The Group uses derivatives for economic hedge of electricity and gas supply contracts, however does not fully apply hedge accounting, therefore the management eliminates them when analysing current period results.

  • (3) According to updated accounting policy, revenues from new connection points and upgrades are recognized throughout the useful life of the newly created infrastructure, even though the cash is received when the new connection point or upgrade is completed. In order to better reflect the cash flow, and results of connection points and upgrades completed in the current period, Revenues are Adjusted, as if they were booked at the moment of connection or connection upgrade.
  • (4) Other adjustments mostly contains of received compensation related to the previous periods. Compensation of EUR 9.28 million received in Q1 2019 for the indemnification of potentially inflicted damage by Alstom Power Ltd during the implementation of the project of the public limited liability company Lietuvos Elektrinė in 2005–2009. Other adjustments also include add-backs of inventory and receivables impairments and write-offs, as well as elimination of gains or losses from disposal of non-current assets.

Investments

In Q1 2020, Investments amounted to EUR 62.3 million and was 29.7% less than in Q1 2019. The largest investments were made in construction of Vilnius and Kaunas CHPs (40.8% from total Investments), electricity distribution network expansion (20.6%) and gas distribution network expansion (8.6%).

Green Generation segment investments decreased to EUR 35.0 million in Q1 2020 and were EUR 8.4 million lower than in Q1 2019. Major contributor to that were decreased investments in construction of Vilnius CHP from EUR 27.1 million in Q1 2019 to EUR 14.7 million in Q1 2020 and construction of Kaunas CHP from EUR 16.3 million in Q1 2019 to EUR 10.7 million in Q1 2020. Investments in construction of Pomerania (EUR 9.6 million) partially offset the decrease.

Networks segment investments amounted EUR 24.4 million and were lower by EUR 20.5 million compared to Q1 2019. Decrease was mainly driven by lower investments in expansion of the electricity distribution network due to decrease in new customers connection contract work fees (EUR -9.0 million: EUR 12.8 million in Q1 2020 and EUR 21,8 million in Q1 2019) and renewal of the electricity distribution network due to postponement of Q1 2020 reconstruction works of electricity network objects for later periods (EUR -6.3 million: EUR 3.8 million in Q1 2020 and EUR 10.1 million in Q1 2019). 8.6k new connection points and upgrades were completed in the electricity distribution network in Q1 2020, 4.9% more than in Q1 2019. Admissible electric power of new connection points and upgrades reached 90.6 MW in Q1 2020 and was 31.2% higher than in Q1 2019 (69.0 MW). Investments in the expansion of gas distribution network amounted to EUR 5.4 million in Q1 2020 and were EUR 8.1 million lower than in Q1 2019. 63.8 km of the new gas pipelines were constructed in Q1 2020 (94.5 km in Q1 2019).

We received EUR 9.6 million subsidies for our Investments in Q1 2020. It contains of European Union subsidies for Vilnius CHP project (EUR 4.4 million) the remaining subsidies were related to distribution network expansion investments covered by customers benefiting from these investments.

Operating performance in Q1 2020

Electricity distribution

Distributed electricity in Q1 2020 remained at a similar level and amounted to 2.53 TWh, compared to Q1 2019. The distribution of electricity to customers of the independent supply slightly decreased by 1.7%. The volumes of public supply slightly increased by 3.0%, while volumes of guaranteed supply decreased by 13.4%.SAIDI ratio deteriorated and was 144.55 minutes (Q1 2019: 26.17 minutes). SAIFI indicator was equal to 0.43 interruptions (Q1 2019: 0.35 interruptions) in Q1 2020. Deterioration of quality indicators of continuous electricity supply mainly caused by storm Laura (March 12-13). During 2020 Q1, 5,694 new connection points and 2,861 upgrades were completed in the electricity distribution network. The number of new electricity connection points and upgrades increased by 0.6% and 14.4% accordingly, compared to Q1 2019.

Gas distribution

The volume of gas distributed in 2020 Q1 decreased by 13.0% and amounted to 2.41 TWh (2019 Q1: 2.76 TWh). In 2020 Q1, higher average air temperatures were the main contributor to the reduction in gas distribution. Gas distribution SAIDI ratio improved in 2020 Q1 and was 0.05 minutes (2019 Q1: 0.21 minutes) and SAIFI ratio was approximately equal to 0.001 interruptions (2019 Q1: 0.002 interruptions). Improvement of the quality indicators as a result of third party supply disruptions for a smaller number of customers comparing with the same period last year. In 2020 Q1, 1,795 new connection points were completed in the gas distribution network, which is 13.0% less than during 2019 Q1.

Financial results in Q1 2020

In Q1 2020, Networks Revenue reached EUR 122.3 million and was 6.8% or EUR 7.8 million higher than in Q1 2019. The increase was mainly driven by higher distribution revenue (EUR 10.9 million) and transmission revenue (EUR 7.9 million) due to increase of tariffs. Increase was partly offset by decrease of gas distribution revenue (EUR -6.8 million) and guaranteed supply of electricity revenue (EUR -4.6 million). Compared to Q1 2019 Adjusted EBITDA increased by 8.7% or EUR 4.8 million, which was driven by the growing value of regulated assets. Compared to Q1 2019, segment's property, plant and equipment, intangible and right-of-use assets increased by 4.3% or EUR 67.9 million following Investments made. However, compared to Q1 2019, Investments decreased by EUR 20.5 million or 45.7%, mainly resulted from lower investments in expansion (EUR -9.0 million) and renewal (EUR -6.3 million) of the electricity distribution network.

Green Generation

Operating performance in Q1 2020

Electricity generation

Electricity generated in Green Generation segment increased by 42.5% in Q1 2020, compared to Q1 2019. This mainly resulted from higher electricity generation in hydro portfolio. Electricity generation volumes at Kruonis PSHP increased by 205.1% as a result of effective utilisation of fluctuations in electricity prices in Q1 2020, which was slightly offset by decrease in Kaunas HPP by 25.4% caused by a lower level of water in the Nemunas river. Volume of electricity generated at wind farms totalled 0.08 TWh, which is 9.9% more compared to Q1 2019. Increase in wind farms generation portfolio were impacted by higher load and availability factors as a result of better weather conditions.

Heat generation

Heat generation in Q1 2020 increased 38.5%, compared to Q1 2019, caused by test runs of Kaunas CHP, which was partly offset by lower heat generation in biomass portfolio.

Financial results in Q1 2020

Green Generation Revenues reached 22.7 million in Q1 2020 and were EUR 5.6 million higher than in Q1 2019. Revenue growth was driven by higher sales of Kruonis PSHP (EUR +4.5 million), favourable wind conditions (EUR +1.5 million) and testing of KKJ (EUR +0.8 million). The above reasons outweighed lower revenue of Kaunas HPP (EUR -2.2 million).

In Q1 2020, Adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 14.6 million (Q1 2019: EUR 12.7 million). This was mainly influenced by better result of Kruonis PSHP (EUR +4.4 million) which was mainly caused by effective utilisation of fluctuations in electricity prices. The growth was negatively impacted by worsened result of Kaunas HPP (EUR -2.3 million) due to lower water level in Nemunas river.

Compared to Q1 2019, property, plant and equipment, intangible and right-of-use assets in the Green Generation segment grew due to ongoing Investments in Vilnius and Kaunas CHP plants and acquisition and start of constructions of Pomerania wind farm. The segment's Net debt increased accordingly.

Flexible Generation

Operating performance in Q1 2020

Electricity generation volumes at the Elektrėnai Complex increased almost 6.5 times in Q1 2020, compared with Q1 2019, and reached 0.05 TWh, as a result of full commercial availability in the CCGT, low gas and emission allowance prices.

In 2019, the tertiary active power reserve in the capacity of 260 MW was ensured by the most effective unit of Elektrėnai Complex – the CCGT while in 2020 tertiary power reserve is ensured by Elekrėnai Complex 7 and 8 units with the scope of 475 MW.

In 2020, CCGT will be providing the service of operation of the isolated network. By providing this service, under favourable market conditions the CCGT is able to produce on a commercial basis also.

Financial results in Q1 2020

Compared to Q1 2019, Revenue from Flexible Generation decreased by 59.1% (EUR 19.4 million). The segment's Revenue decrease was mainly driven by EUR 9.3 million compensation received in Q1 2019 which was received from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania for the indemnification of potentially inflicted damage by Alstom Power Ltd during the implementation of the project of Lietuvos Elektrinė in 2005–2009. Sales in 2019 Q1 were also boosted by sales of fuel oil stocks that were no longer in use. 2020 Q1 revenue also decreased due to lower revenue of CCGT as in 2019 it provided tertiary reserve services and earned return on investment and in 2020 CCGT provides isolated electricity system operation services and return on investment is not included in the price of services.

The segment's Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2020 was EUR 2.2 million lower compared to Q1 2019. Decrease was caused by lower result from CCGT regulated activity (EUR -1.1 million) and gain from sale of fuel oil stocks in Q1 2019 (EUR -1.8 million).

Compared with Q1 2019, Net debt increased by EUR 16.8 million mostly due to lower cash and cash equivalents.

Customers and Solutions

Operating performance in Q1 2020

Electricity sales

Total electricity sales in retail market in Q1 2020 increased and totalled 1.57 TWh, compared to Q1 2019. Increase was mainly caused by higher sales levels/contracts signed at the end of 2019 for the following year with B2B Lithuanian market clients. Lithuanian retail market increased by 15.8%, while Latvian market saw a decrease of 1.3%. Electricity sales volume in the wholesale market decreased by 50.5%, as a result of smaller trading portfolio in Polish market, in comparison to Q1 2019.

Gas sales

The volume of gas sold increased by 16.9% and amounted to 4.26 TWh in Q1 2020 (Q1 2019: 3.64 TWh). This was mainly influenced by entry into Finnish gas market. Despite total increase, sales in Lithuanian and Latvian markets decreased. Increased competition and warmer weather temperatures resulted in decline of B2B gas sales in Lithuania by 12.4%. Lower number of customers in Q1 2020 compared with Q1 2019 resulted decline in Latvian market by 58.0%.

Sales in wholesale gas market decreased by 13.3% in Q1 2020 compared with the same period last year influenced by decrease in sales through LNG terminal.

Financial results in Q1 2020

In Q1 2020, Customers and Solution's segment Revenue amounted to EUR 162.0 million and was 8.2% lower than in Q1 2019. The decline was mainly driven by lower gas sales to B2B customers due to lower gas market price (EUR -13.0 million), lower gas sales to residential customers due to lower tariff set by regulator (EUR -5.5 million) and lower electricity and related products trading revenues (EUR -4.1 million). Decrease was partly offset by increase of revenue from public electricity supply activities due to higher electricity price set by the regulator (EUR +6.7 million) and increase of retail electricity supply income due to higher volume of sold electricity (EUR +4.0 million).

The growth of Adjusted EBITDA by 90.3% compared with Q1 2019 was mainly driven by higher volume of gas export sales (mainly due to sales in Finland) and lower gas market prices led to increased margins.

Compared with Q1 2019, Net debt increased because of lower cash and cash equivalents balance.

In preparing these interim financial statements, the Group/Company did not adopted new standards, amendments and interpretations, the effective date of which is later than 1 January 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The following new standards and amendments to the standards that became effective in 1 January 2020 did not affect these interim financial statements.

Application of new and/or amended International financial reporting standards and International financial reporting interpretation committee (hereinafter "IFRIC") interpretations

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (published 29 March 2018, effective from 1 January 2020)

The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. The IASB has also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. Its purpose is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. The amendments are endorsed by the EU. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business (published 22 October 2018, effective from 1 January 2020)

The IASB issued amendments to the definition of a business in IFRS 3 (amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity is determining whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The amendments are effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020, with earlier adoption permitted. The amendments are endorsed by the EU. These amendments had no impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company but may impact future periods if the Group/Company enters to any business combinations.

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of a Material (published 31 October 2018, effective from 1 January 2020)

The amendments clarify the definition of 'material' and how it should be applied. New definition clarifies that 'information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.' In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. The amendments also ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRSs. The amendments are endorsed by the EU. These amendments had no impact on the Group and the Company's financial statements, nor is there expected to be any future impact to them.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (published 26 September 2019, effective from 1 January 2020)

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 conclude phase one of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting. Phase two will focus on issues that could affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR). The amendments published, deal with issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative interest rate and address the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which require forward-looking analysis. The amendments provided temporary reliefs, applicable to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform, which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding additional disclosures around uncertainty arising from the interest rate benchmark reform. These amendments had no impact on the Group and the Company's financial statements. The amendments are endorsed by the EU.

Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective and not early adopted

New standards, amendments and interpretations that are not mandatory for reporting period beginning on 1 January 2020 and have not been early adopted when preparing these financial statements are presented below:

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (published 11 September 2014, effective date not appointed)

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IFRS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015, the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. Management has assessed that adoption of new standard will have no significant effect on the Group and the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts (New) (published 18 May 2017, effective from 1 January 2023)

IFRS 17 changes IFRS 4, which permits entities to continue to use current practices in accounting for insurance contracts. This made it difficult for investors to compare the financial performance of similar insurance companies. IFRS 17 is a general principle-based standard that sets out accounting requirements for all types of insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts held by an insurer. The Standard requires the recognition and measurement of classes of insurance contracts: (i) risk-adjusted present value of future cash flows (cash flows from the performance of the contract), which reflects all available information about cash flows from the contract that is consistent with market observable data by adding (if the value is a liability) or subtracting (if the value is an asset); (ii) the amount reflecting unearned profit (contracted service margin) from the group of contracts. Profits from a group of insurance contracts will be recognized by insurers for the duration of the insurance coverage and the moment they transfer the risk. If a group of contracts is or becomes a loss, the entity will recognize the loss immediately. The standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This IFRS will not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group and the Company as insurance services are not provided.

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (published 23 January 2020, effective from 1 January 2022)

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. The Group and the Company is currently assessing the impact of this amendment on their financial statements. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU.

3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements used in the preparation of these financial statements

3.1 Impact of COVID-19 on critical accounting estimates, management judgements and estimation uncertainties

Preparing these interim financial statements the significant management judgements regarding the application of the accounting policies and the main sources were the same as used in preparing financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except those accounting estimates the uncertainty of which is increased due to COVID-19 pandemic. Comparing to the 2019 annual financial statements, these interim financial statements does not include any other new areas. The following key areas considered by the Company's management in assessing the impact of COVID-19 are presented below:

Going concern

The Group's management assessed cash flows due to deferral of electricity and gas payments, reduction and slower recovery of electricity and gas consumption, as well as cash flows related to the risk of delays in major infrastructure projects, probability of bad debt growth, potential disruptions to funding sources, the risk of COVID-19 infection by workers performing critical functions. The assessment used all currently available information on the threats posed by COVID-19. The Group's management has not identified any threats to the Group's going concern when assessing the potential impact of key COVID-19 factors on the Group's results. The Group has taken actions to manage the risks that have arisen.

Residual value and useful life of an asset: property, plant and equipment

Management considered the effect of COVID-19 on the useful life of the non-current asset and, finding that there was no change in the expected nature and purpose of the non-current asset, did not determine any effect of COVID-19 on the asset's carrying amount and useful life. The review of the nature and purpose of the use of non-current assets was based on foreseeable events and economic conditions that could result from a future COVID-19 pandemic. Management has not identified any disruptions in the use of property, plant and equipment neither in the short nor in the long term.

Expected credit losses: financial assets

The Group's management has assessed past events, current and future economic conditions as of the date of issue of these interim financial statements in determining the expected credit losses due to the impact of COVID-19. The Group's management has determined that the future economic situation of COVID-19 does not materially change the loss ratio matrix that is using to calculate the expected credit loss of the Company's financial assets. Loss ratios used to calculate expected credit losses as of 31 March 2020 were the same as used for 31 December 2019.

Determination of fair value: property, plant and equipment

Management has reviewed the key assumptions used to determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment. Management has not identified any significant circumstances related to COVID-19 that would require a significant adjustment to the management's assumptions used to verify and determine the fair value of property, plant and equipment. Because the assumptions used to determine a fair value as of 31 December 2019 has not changed the book value of property, plant and equipment as of 31 March 2020 corresponds to its fair value.

Classification of long term and short term part

Management has also reviewed the criteria for classifying loans and borrowings, as well as other receivables / payables, into long and short term, and has not identified any circumstances that would require a material adjustment in their classification.

General information on the impact of COVID-19 on the Group's operations

In relation to the emergency situation and quarantine the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania adopted amendments aimed at preserving jobs and helping the people. On 16 March 2020 the Government took the decision (Protocol No.14) and in respect of which concluded a Plan for the economic stimulation and the implementation of measures directed to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 (hereinafter "the Plan"). One of the measures is to make possible to defer or arrange in portions the payments for the consumed electricity and natural gas to the Company's subsidiary Ignitis UAB. This means that the company UAB Ignitis and accordingly the another Company's subsidiary AB "Energijos skirstymo operatorius" will directly experience delays in customers' payments for services.

The main factors affecting the Group's operations due to the situation described above in relation to COVID-19 are set out below:

Factors Effect
Cash flows from electricity and gas payments,
settlement delays, agreements on longer debt
repayments and expected increase in bad debts
In accordance with the recommendations of the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, the Group
provides special payment deferrals to customers who have encountered financial difficulties due to
the announced quarantine. Requests from private and business customers to defer payment for the
distribution and supply of electricity and gas individually are accepted and analyzed, and decisions
are made within the prescribed amount.
The rates of deterioration in customer solvency are significantly lower than those estimated after the
quarantine. At the date of issue of these interim financial statements, requests for payments' deferrals
do not exceed EUR 7 million, satisfied requests amount to about EUR 3 million, the rest led to a
natural increase in the level of overdue debts.
Cash flow from declining electricity and gas
consumption during the quarantine period and
slower recovery after it
Electricity consumption:
Electricity consumption B2B (abbr. of business-to-business, i.e. business segment) decreased by
about ~15-18% during the quarantine period, electricity consumption by B2C (abbr. of business-to
customers, i.e. household segment) increased to 4-5%.
It should be noted that Ignitis UAB grew its customer portfolio, therefore the overall electricity
consumption is increased comparing to the last year.
Natural gas consumption:
• Since the beginning of quarantine, there has been no noticeable decrease in the amount of natural
gas distributed in the Energijos skirstymo operatorius AB network, which could be directly related
to the impact of quarantine.
• The volume of natural gas distributed in the Energijos skirstymo operatorius AB network has
decreased by approximately 9% since the beginning of the year, but these changes were mainly
due to the warmer beginning of the year (especially January) and the correspondingly colder in
April compared to the previous year.
Cash flows related to the risk of delays in major
infrastructure projects' development (construction
and development of new power plants)
Due to the impact of COVID-19 and the quarantine restrictions applied, the expected risk of delays
for wind farms and cogeneration power plants or their individual phases is approximately proportional
to the duration of the global quarantine, so some planned investments may be carried over to 2020
or 2021, respectively. At the date of issue of these interim financial statements, there are no

Risk management of COVID-19 infection in employees

During the quarantine period, the Group strictly follows all the recommendations provided by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania regarding the management of the potential threat of COVID-19. The Group has all the conditions for efficient work remotely and does not experience any disruption in the performance of direct functions of employees. The Group's management pays special attention to manage the risk of infection in employees whose functions are to ensure the smooth operation of electricity generation, stable operation of the electricity system, electricity and gas distribution network's and supply's equipment, as well who work on construction sites. These employees are provided with additional personal protection and personal hygiene measures, prepared and implemented actions to ensure their substitutability, the zones at control points are separated by partitions, and etc. At the date of issue of these interim financial statements, the Group did not experience any problems with the functions performed by these employees due to COVID-19.

significant indications of delays in achieving the set targets.

Management of Group's liquidity risk

  • Short-term liquidity risk is managed by maintaining obligatory lines of credit and overdrafts, borrowing within the Group through the Cashpool platform. The period of these credit lines must be at least two years, and they must account for at least 20% of the Group's consolidated net debt. Non-obligatory credit lines can be used for maintaining extra liquidity, their extent is not limited. Liquidity is also maintained by means of the Group's investment in short-term debt instruments with a high credit rating (debt securities of states and corporations), short-term deposits or their certificates, and other money-market instruments that meet the requirements of liquidity and security of investments set forth in the Treasury Management Policy of the Group.

  • Long-term liquidity risk is managed through continuous assurance by the Treasury Department of the Partnership of possibilities to finance the activities of the Group using at least two sources, i.e. debt securities, investment bank loans or commercial bank loans, and other means. By diversifying portfolio of long-term loans the Group aims that 20 to 40 percent of the Group's consolidated long-term debt would consist of financing from sources other than commercial bank loans.

During the quarantine period, the Group concluded a loan agreement with AB Swedbank for EUR 100 million and issued bond emission for EUR 300 million.

3.2 Restatement of comparative figures due to corrections of errors and changes in accounting treatment

As the corrections to accounting errors and changes in accounting treatment summarized in Note 2.1 must be reflected in the comparative financial information of 2019 1 st quarter, the Group provides information on restatements of certain figures presented in the interim financial statements prepared for the 1st quarter of 2019:

Corrections of errors

1. Error related to regulated services

In 2019 the Group's subsidiary Ignitis gamyba AB reviewed accounting principles for revenues, other receivables and payables related to capacity reserve (secondary and tertiary power reserves) and system restoration services (hereinafter "regulated activities"), which are regulated by National Energy Regulation Council (hereinafter "NERC"). Revenue from these activities was recognized without assessing whether or not Ignitis gamyba AB will provide these regulated services during the next reporting year. However, a re-analysis of the regulated services' legislation and the NERC resolutions revealed that the amount to be paid or reimbursed for the provision of regulated

services in future periods should depend on whether the activity will actually be carried out and will be realized with the actual future activity, i.e. these amounts, related to contracts that are still in progress, in such case should not be accounted as provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets in accordance with IAS 37 "Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets". The positive impact of the correction of this error on the net profit of 2019 1st quarter and equity as of 31 March 2019 amounted to EUR 1,636 thousand.

2. Error related to revenues from electricity trading exchange market

Group company Ignitis Polska Sp. z o.o., which operates in electricity trading exchange market by concluding forward and future electricity purchase and sale transactions, recognized income and expenses from these transactions aimed to earn a profit from the resulting shortterm fluctuations in electricity prices in the separate items of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. articles. However, after a thorough analysis of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the Group has determined that these transactions cannot be classified using the exception of "own-use" and only result (i.e. profit or loss) of these transactions should be recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. During 2019 1st quarter, this income amounted to EUR 63,796 thousand.

Changes in accounting treatment

1. Change in the accounting method for new customers connection fees

From 1 January 2018 connection fees in gas distribution activities were recognized as revenue when the customer's connection to the distribution network is finished. In electricity distribution activities from 1 January 2018 until 1 October 2018 connection fees were recognized as income over the useful life of the related, newly created property, plant and equipment (connection infrastructure), from 1 October 2018 – revenue was recognized when the customer's connection to the distribution network is finished. After an in-depth analysis of the provisions stated in IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Group changed the accounting treatment for recognition of revenue from connection fees, which are received from new customers for connection to the gas and electricity distribution networks, determining that revenue should be recognized over the useful life of the related assets, which corresponds to the best estimate of customer relationship's period. The negative impact of this changed accounting treatment on the net profit of 2019 1st quarter and equity as of 31 March 2019 amounted to EUR 3,454 thousand.

2. Change in the accounting method for public service obligations' services

Through the electricity tariff paid by electricity end-users, the Group collects PSO fees from business customers and private individuals connected to the electricity distribution network and transfers them to the PSO fund administrator (Baltpool UAB). The PSO fee, as an integral part of the electricity tariff, was not identified as a separate performance obligation. In 2018, the management considered the Group to be the principal party to the PSO fees, therefore the collected PSO fees were accounted for as revenue and when they were transferred to the operator as an expense. Preparing the 2019 annual report, the Group changed the method of accounting for PSO fees, treating the Group as an agent for PSO fees, and accounted the income from collection and expenses after transfer of PSO fees in one expense line "Purchases of electricity, gas and related services" in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. 2019 1 st quarter, this income amounted to EUR 21,998 thousand.

3. Change in the accounting method for liquified natural gas terminal's security component

The Group acts as a natural gas supplier, which collects the LNGT security component through a gas tariff paid by final gas customers and transfers it to the operator of transfer system. The LNGT security component, as an integral part of the natural gas tariff, has not been identified as a separate performance obligation. In 2018, the Group, acting as a supplier of natural gas to end users, was treated by management as a main party in respect of LNGT security component, therefore collected LNGT security component fees were accounted for as revenue and after transfer to the operator as an expense. Preparing the 2019 annual report, the Group changed the method of accounting for the LNGT security component, treating the Group as an agent for the LNGT security component and accounted the income from collection and expenses after transfer of LNGT security component fees in one expense line "Purchases of electricity, gas and related services". During 2019 1st quarter, this income amounted to EUR 8,339 thousand.

  1. Change in accounting method for electricity transfer and gas distribution services supplied in Latvia

In 2018, when providing electricity and gas services to end users in Latvia, the Group did not consider electricity transfer and gas distribution services provided by a company outside the Group as separate performance obligations and considered itself as main service provider for these services. Fees collected from customers for electricity transmission and gas distribution services were recognized as revenue and, when transferred to the electricity transmission network operator and the gas distribution system operator, as expenses. Preparing the 2019 annual report the Group changed the accounting method of fees for electricity transfer and gas distribution services in Latvia, considering itself an agent, and accounted for the collection and transfer of these charges under one expense line "Purchases of electricity, gas for trading and related services". During 2019 1st quarter, this income amounted to EUR 9,837 thousand.

16 Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of directors that makes strategic decisions.

In year 2018 a new strategy of the Group was approved. This strategy sets out four main lines of business for the Group - strategic generation, green generation, solutions for customers and an activity of distribution grid operator. Following the adoption of the new strategy, steps have been taken to refine the actions due. The scope of the operating segments has been modified following the changes as well as due to the changes in the Group's structure, which were completed in 2nd quarter of 2019, management now follows its performance by operating segments that are consistent with the line of business specified in the Group's strategy:

  • electricity supply and distribution and gas distribution segment renamed Networks and now includes only the distribution of electricity and gas activities carried out by Energijos skirstymo operatorius AB. Electricity public supply activity transferred to the segment of solutions for customers following the transfer from Energijos skirstymo operatorius AB to Ignitis UAB of this business activity;
  • electricity generation segment separated into two segments Flexible generation and Green generation. Flexible generation segment includes activities carried out by Ignitis gamyba AB (except Kaunas Algirdas' Brazauskas Hydro Power Plant, Kruonis pumped storage power plant, Biofuel and steam boiler). Green generation segment includes activities carried out by Ignitis gamyba AB (Kaunas Algirdas' Brazauskas Hydro Power Plant, Kruonis pumped storage power plant, Biofuel and steam boiler), Vilniaus kogeneracinė jėgainė UAB, Kauno kogeneracinė jėgainė UAB, Eurakras UAB, Tuuleenergia OU, Vėjo gūsis UAB, Vėjo vatas UAB, VVP Investment UAB, Ignitis renewables UAB, Pomerania Invall Sp. z o.o.;
  • trade in gas and trade in electricity segments merged into one segment named Solutions for customers. It includes activities carried out by Ignitis UAB, Energijos Tiekimas UAB (until 31 May 2019), Ignitis Eesti OÜ, Ignitis Latvija SIA, Ignitis Polska Sp. z o.o. Electricity energy public supply activity is taken over from networks segment following the transfer from Energijos skirstymo operatorius AB to Ignitis UAB of this business activity.

The following services and entities comprise the other segments:

  • support services (Ignitis grupės paslaugų centras UAB, Verslo aptarnavimo centras UAB);
  • non-core activities (Energetikos paslaugų ir rangos organizacija UAB, Duomenų logistikos centras UAB, NT Valdos UAB, Transporto valdymas UAB);
  • service entities (Elektroninių mokėjimų agentūra UAB, Gamybos Optimizavimas UAB);
  • as well as parent company Ignitis grupė UAB, which does not constitute a separate operating segment, however it is disclosed separately, as its net profit exceeds 10% of profit (before elimination adjustments) of all profit generating segments. The Group's support service entities and special purpose entities are aggregated to a single segment as none of them individually meet recognition criteria of an operating segment.

The Group has a single geographical segment – the Republic of Lithuania, electricity sales in Latvia, Estonia and Poland are not significant for the Group. The chief operating decision-maker monitors the results with reference to the financial reports that have been prepared using the same accounting policies as those used for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, i.e. information on profit or loss, including the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. The primary performance measure is adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBIDTA – a non-IFRS alternative performance measure). Another performance measure is adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT – a non-IFRS alternative performance measure). Both measures are calculated starting from data presented in the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS as adjusted by management for selected items which are not defined by IFRS.

The Group management calculates EBITDA as follows:

Operating profit - Depreciation and amortisation expenses + Expenses on revaluation and provisions for emission allowances + Impairment expenses of non-current assets + Write-off expenses of non-current assets EBITDA

The Group management calculates EBIT as follows:

Operating profit - Expenses on revaluation and provisions for emission allowances + Impairment expenses of non-current assets + Write-off expenses of non-current assets
