Report of the Board of Directors

The Joint Stock Company "Latvijas Gāze" (hereinafter – the Company) is the only natural gas transmission, storage, distribution and sale operator in Latvia. The company supplies natural gas to 442.2 thousand customers in Latvia, and in winter – also to Estonia, the Northwestern part of Russia and Lithuania from the Inčukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility (hereinafter – Inčukalns UGS).

The goal of the Company is to strengthen its leading position in the fuel market of Latvia by enhancing the accessibility of natural gas, facilitating the diversity of its consumption and ensuring for consumers in Latvia one the most stable supplies in Europe.

The vision of the Company is to make Latvia one of the largest natural gas storage hubs in Europe by using the unique geological structures of our country.

The mission of the Company is to contribute to the economy of the Baltic region by ensuring the security of energy supplies, the development of the industry and the competitiveness of prices.

The underlying principles of financial activity of the Company are as follows:

  • investments in the development of infrastructure and the quality of service;
  • competitive price of natural gas and services;

Such amount of profit is regulated by the Public Utility Commission of the Republic of Latvia by setting the level of capital return (currently the capital return is set to 8.0 % of the regulated asset basis).

1. Operation of the Company in the reporting period

In 6 months of the year 2013, the Company sold to the consumers 833.4 million m3 of natural gas. In comparison with the respective period of 2012, the natural gas sales decreased by 0.4 % and is 4.2% or 36.6 million nm3 under the volume planned in the budget of 2013 due to the differences in outdoor air temperature and investments by heat supply companies in the use of renewable energy resources and a partial replacement of fossil fuels with woodchip.

The gas injection season at the Inčukalns UGS began on April 17, 2013. Upon starting natural gas injection, the reserves of active gas at the Inčukalns UGS were 182.35 million m3 . 828.5 million m3 of natural gas were injected into the Inčukalns UGS in the first 6 months of the year 2013.

Over 6 months of 2013, the consumers were sold natural gas and provided services for LVL 235.7 million, which is by 1.6 % less than in the respective period of 2012.

The decrease of income over the respective period of 2012 has taken place because natural gas sales decreased and in the 1st half of 2013, due to changes in oil product quotations and currency rates, the residential and industrial customers were applied differential natural gas sale end-user tariffs corresponding to a natural gas sale price 1.8% above that of the 6 months of 2012. The income saw decrease both in the industrial and household sector.

The Company completed 6 months of 2013 with a profit of LVL 7.6 million, which is 28.8% higher than in the respective period 2012 when the Company profited LVL 5.9 million.
