The I-ACT proposal aims to develop a decision support system for co-creation and adaptive management of city resilience based on longterm climate and socioeconomic scenarios with related uncertainties. AB Kauno Energija is ready to be involved as end-user in order to reach I-ACT project objectives. Should the contract be forthcoming to the I-ACT consortium, the Company will make the best effort to provide input, advice and support to the project, depending on its competencies, capabilities and availability.
The rest of information has not changed from that announced in AB Kauno Energija consolidated annual report for the year 2013.
External risk factors affecting the Company's core business: inflation, increase of oil prices, ever-changing legal environment, as well as the heat production pricing policies.
The Company, in order to operate effectively and reliably, in creating the added value for shareholders, is faced with specific threats to the sphere of its activity, but also takes advantage of opportunities to work efficiently and effectively by exploiting the available potential. One of the biggest threats that the Company may face is a relatively high price for heat purchased from independent manufacturers of heat, which is regulated in the Description of procedure for purchase of heat from independent suppliers of heat. In turn, the Company invests extensively in modernization and construction of its own manufacturing sources, to reduce the comparative costs of heat production. Thus it takes advantage of the regulatory environment and reduces the energy purchase price.
In the 1 half of the year 2014, the Company bought heat from 6 independent heat producers in Kaunas and Kaunas district: UAB Kauno Termofikacijos Elektrinė, UAB GECO Kaunas, UAB Lorizon energy, UAB Ekoresursai, UAB Pramonės Energija, UAB Aldec General and UAB ENG. Total purchases were 616.9 thousand MWh of heat, i.e. 79.7 per cent of heat supplied to the network (in the 1 half of the year 2013 the indicator was 80.2 per cent).
Economic factors: The Company is a major supplier of the heat produced centrally to the town of Jurbarkas and the city of Kaunas, and part of Kaunas district. In order to maintain this, it is necessary to adapt to the changing heat supply conditions and continue the implementation of modern and efficient technologies in the production of heat, to focus on the reliable supply at the lowest cost, benefiting from private differences of different types of fuel and delivery of quality service to consumers.
The Company's sales of heat are directly dependent on heat demand, i.e. heat consumption, which is mostly affected by the average outdoor air temperature, the amount of investment of consumers in energy-saving and rational use of heat and the pace of development of the heat sales.
Risk of decline in consumption: Company's performance is affected by the decline in sales due to reduced heat demand, high effect of changes in fuel prices to the price of heat, and these connections of consumers. Risks can be mitigated by the Company investing in renewable energy sources using heat and electricity production facilities, promotion of competition in the heat production industry, thereby reducing the heat production cost and the price of heat offered for consumers, educating consumers about the benefits of district heating systems in comparison with autonomous heating.
Financial /economic risk: User solvency decline and debts. Risks can be mitigated by the factoring of debts and applying more stringent debt collection techniques/methods. Other possible financial/economic risk – changes in interest rates in the banking market. Currently, the interest rates are stable.
During the 1 half of the year 2014 compared with the year 2013, heat consumer debts remained almost in the same level. In the 1 half of the year 2014 they were LTL 67.325 million, in the year 2013 – LTL 67.357 million. In the year 2012, the 10 million debt repayment schedule was made with Kaunas city municipality providing the start of debt repayment from 2014. On 3 December 2013 the amendment of the agreement was signed by transferring the final deadline of settlement to 2015. In 2013, the agreement on short-term credit of 10.567 million litas was signed by refinancing the repayment of debts of Kaunas municipality for heat.
In order to recover these debts as soon as possible, the Company uses a variety of active debt management measures, cooperating with debt collection companies, and introducing other new instruments.
In all cases, the Company first notifies the user of his indebtedness. When debtors respond to warnings and contact the Company, the Company discusses the options of debt settlement with them, signs documents guaranteeing the repayment of the debt. If the debtor does not respond to warnings, does not cooperate with the Company, it is then applies to the court for the award of the debt. In such case the debtor must pay not only the debt but also the court and execution costs.
Information on debtors avoiding timely payments is passed to the Creditinfo debtor administration information system according to the laws where all of its participants (different service providers) can see and evaluate the person's solvency. A debtor listed in this database is assigned to a group of unreliable payers and may have difficulties in the future to get a credit, to sign a leasing contract, or, for instance, to become a mobile communication subscriber.
Activities of the Company are cyclical. During the heating season (October – April) the highest operating income is earned. During the non-heating season, the Company's revenues are at their lowest since only heat for hot water is used. In addition, during the non-heating season, the Company incurs more costs because it has to prepare for the upcoming heating season, i.e. to carry out the repairs and reconstruction of heat supply networks and heat production sources.
Political and legal factors: Energy activities are governed by the Law on Heat Sector, the Law on Energy, the Law on Electricity, the Law on Natural Gas, the Law on Drinking Water Supply and Wastewater Management, Government resolutions, Heat supply and consumption rules, Methodology of heat prices and payments for heat of the National Control Commission for Prices and other legislation. Their amendments affect the heating industry.
In 2013, Lithuania adopted a new methodology for calculating the prices of heat, in force since 1 January 2014. Also, the National Control Commission for Prices approved a new Schedule of heat purchase from independently producers enabling the Company to take part in the heat purchasing auction with its manufacturing resources.
With new amendments of articles 2, 3, 20, 22, 28, 31, and 32 of the Law on Heat Sector No XI-1608 of the Republic of Lithuania coming in affect from 1 November 2011, in accordance with Article 7, the heat and hot water prices may not include any costs related with the indoor building heating (including heat units), and hot water systems. In implementing the legislation, from 1 November 2011, all of these costs directly reduce the profit of the Company as the Company has invested 61.8 million litas to the upgrade of from 1997.
The political and legal risks also include political decisions of Kaunas City Municipality, with a controlling stake in the Company, that affect the Company's decision-making on the issues of agenda at the meetings of shareholders (the most significant issues, excluding the shareholder structure formation, are the distribution of profits and support), election of members of the Supervisory Board, who appoint the Company's Management Board members (who are often influenced by the politicians who elected them). The risk can be mitigated by informing the main shareholder of the Company's operations, performance, future plans and non-politicized notification of the board.
The main risks and uncertainties of the financial operations of the Company are provided in Notes 2.25, 2.26 and 23 to the financial statements of the Company for the 1 half of the year 2014 and consolidated statements of AB Kauno Energija.
Social factors: social factors that have had an impact on the Company's operations in recent years include the decline in the number of users, slight degree of growth in real consumer income (purchasing power), unemployment and building negative opinions about district heating and of the Company in the public domain.
The rest of information on the social factors has not changed from that announced in AB Kauno Energija consolidated annual report for the year 2013.
Social risk: The Company's activities are most important to many Kaunas region residents and businesses due to the value of costs for heating and hot water (as measured in terms of Lithuania, the Company's district heating price was lower than the average among all heat supply companies in the 1 half of the year 2014). This risk is mitigated by raising the awareness of consumers about the Company's activities in order to ensure quality services and greater attention to consumers. The Company receives most complaints for the amount of charges for heat. In order to analyse and resolve these complaints, customer service professionals work with consumers who advise customers in the Company's premises, by phone, in letters and e-mails. Heat users periodically, i.e. 2- 4 times per year, are invited to meet with the Company's specialists, and discuss consumer issues related to the Company's activities, and also to mitigate the negative image of the heat suppliers promoted by the media.
Technical and process factors: greatest process risks are so shaded with the condition of heating systems. A majority of the Company's trunk pipelines are about thirty years old. Hydraulic testing identifies their weakest points. Every year, about 300 points where cracks occur are identified during the tests. Upon discovery of defects, pipes are exposed and promptly repaired.
Other maintenance work is carried out along with pipe repairs. Each year, leaking shutoff valves are replaced in heat chambers – valves, to which the heating media supply is disconnected in part of the city's neighbourhoods. These works are carried out by the Company out of its own funds.
Mains of heating networks in the most worn out places are reconstructed through the use of support from the EU Structural Funds. In the year 2014, 5 new projects of the reconstruction of the mains of heating network are implemented: "Modernization of the main 5T of Kaunas integrated network", "Modernization of the main 6Ž of Kaunas integrated network", "Modernization of the main 1Ž between heat cameras 1Ž-7 and 1Ž-8 and between heat cameras 1Ž-10 and 1Ž-12 in Chemijos str.", "Modernization of the main 3Ž between heat cameras 3Ž-9 and 3Ž-9-5c in A. Baranausko str.", "Modernization of the main 4Ž between heat cameras 4Ž-10 and 4Ž-15 in Taikos av."
The greatest technical risk factor for heat generation sources is the age of heat production facilities. Each year, boiler repairs and preventive work is carried out during the non-heating season. More information on the Company's production and investment in the modernization of sources is provided in sections 6.1 and 7.
Process risk can be reduced by reconstructing the sources of heat production and supply pipelines, utilizing the latest and advanced technologies and thereby increasing the efficiency of the thermal system. In addition, significant investments in the modernization of the Company's assets must be made according to the country standards and regulations in line with European Union standards and normative acts regulating qualitative and technical indicators of heat supply systems.
Ecological factors: In terms of the Company they may be divided into those affecting the Company and there was influenced by the Company's operations. This information has not changed from that announced in AB Kauno Energija consolidated annual report for the year 2013.
Bank loan repayment: more on this issue is presented in Note 11 to the explanatory notes of financial statements of AB Kauno Energija for the 1 half of the year 2014. The Group and the Company repay the loans on time.
Every year, significant part of funds for facility upgrade are borrowed, as own resources, i.e. accumulated depreciation and amortization, are not sufficient to perform the necessary investment program. The volumes of the repayment of loans taken out for the investment program, are not included in the sale price of heat, as the price components in accordance with the current methodology, therefore, the Company aims to be profitable, to be financially able to settle with credit institutions in accordance with loan agreements.
It has been planned that in 2014, the core business sales revenue will be lower due to reduced heating prices; the amount of heat sold to consumers will remain the same as in 2013.
