AS "Amber Latvijas balzams" (hereinafter – the "Company") is a leading producer of alcoholic beverages in the Baltic States. The Company was established in 1900 as Riga State Vodka Warehouse No. 1. From 1970 to 2022 it operated under the name AS "Latvijas balzams", and since 2022 it has been known as AS "Amber Latvijas balzams". The Company's majority shareholder is Amber Beverage Group Holding S.à r.l. (a company registered in Luxembourg), which owns 89.99% of the Company's share capital.
The Company operates two alcoholic beverage production facilities in Riga: a plant for the production of strong alcoholic beverages, and a plant for the production of sparkling wines and low-alcohol beverages. These facilities produce most categories of alcoholic beverages, including sparkling wines, fortified wines, ciders, RTDs (readyto-drink beverages), vodka, liqueurs, brandy, strong spirits, gin and others. The recipes for several of the Company's products have centuries-old histories; for example, the formula of Riga Black Balsam® dates back more than 270 years, to 1752.
In total, the Company produces more than 100 different brands. Products manufactured by AS "Amber Latvijas balzams" are sold in nearly all regions of the world through the distribution networks of Amber Beverage Group and Stoli Group, as well as via direct export.
The Company cooperates with major suppliers of raw materials and consumables within the European Union. Ethyl alcohol for the production of most products is supplied by spirit producers operating in the EU. One of the key resources in the production process – water – is sourced from an artesian well located on the Company's premises.
A small but significant part of the Company's business is the provision of logistics services. These services are predominantly provided to related companies; however, the volume of services offered to other partners in the alcoholic beverage industry continues to grow, including transit assurance services, bonded warehouse services, value-added services, picking and other logistics services. These activities allow for more efficient utilisation of available resources.
As a socially responsible and sustainable enterprise, the Company has developed and adheres to the core principles of corporate social responsibility. These principles are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, the guidelines of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Nasdaq Riga Corporate Governance Principles, and are available in the Corporate Social Responsibility section of the Company's website.
To ensure compliance with these principles, the Company has developed and/or applies the following procedures: the Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, the Company Procurement Procedure, the Collective Bargaining Agreement, the Quality Management Handbook, the Ethical Marketing Communications Code, the Anti-Corruption Policy, the Data Protection Policy, the Risk Management Policy, the Remote Work Policy and other internal documents. These documents, policies and their related procedures are reviewed regularly both within internal audits – in accordance with the Quality Management System – and within external audits. The results of audits and planned corrective measures are reviewed at management meetings.
Total sales volumes (in 9-litre cases, 9Lcs) for the first nine months of 2025 were 2.76% higher than in the corresponding period of 2024. The Company's unaudited net turnover for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to EUR 53.0 million, which is 7% less than in the same period of 2024. The decrease is mainly related to the high base in the previous year, when net sales results were positively impacted by an income adjustment in accordance with contractual terms.

| Sales volume, in 9 liter boxes | 2 712 104 | 2 639 304 |
The gross profit for the reporting period amounted to 9.6 million euros, which is 2.4 million euros (-20%) less than in the corresponding period of 2024. The positive effect of cost reductions was offset by changes in the product mix and adjustments to the pricing methodology.

The operating result for the first nine months of 2025 was a profit of EUR 561 thousand, which is a decrease compared to the corresponding figure for 2024 (a profit of EUR 2.9 million). The operating profit margin for the reporting period of 2025 was 1.1% (2024: 5.1%). Operating profit in the reporting period decreased compared to corresponding period of the previous year, mainly due to raw material purchases. It is expected that profit will start to increase in the next half-year as volumes improve.
During the reporting period, the Company's unaudited net profit amounted to EUR 1.2 million, compared to a profit of EUR 3.6 million in the corresponding period of 2024.
To maintain competitiveness in challenging economic and geopolitical conditions and at the same time improve its financial performance, the Company is continuously implementing a range of measures to enhance the efficiency of production processes and reduce costs:
The Company's alternative performance indicators for the previous reporting periods are presented below.
The Company's return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA) ratios as at the reporting date and for the two previous comparative periods are as follows:
| 30.09.2025 | 30.09.2024 | 30.09.2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ROA* | 0,9% | 4,0% | 2,7% |
| ROE** | 1,3% | 5,5% | 3,7% |
* ROA = Net profit of the last 12 months / average asset value x 100%
The Company's EBIT* and EBITDA** indicators for the reporting period and in the previous two comparative periods:
| 30.09.2025 EUR 000 |
30.09.2024 EUR 000 |
30.09.2023 EUR 000 |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| EBITDA* | 3,210 | 9,206 | 6,349 |

The Company's management uses alternative performance indicators when assessing the Company's performance during the reporting period as well as in decision-making.

In addition to the financial indicators mentioned in the report, the Company also uses the following comparative indicators for operational analysis: RFT (Right First Time), OTIF (On Time In Full), and Quality.
RFT shows the share of production manufactured with the required quality from the first attempt. In nine months of 2025, this indicator reached 98.2%, demonstrating an improvement compared to the same indicator of 2024 (97.1%).
The OTIF indicator reflects the Company's ability to fulfill customer orders on time, in the required volume, and with the required quality. Nine months of 2025, this indicator reached 97.9%, which is slightly improved compared to the 2024 level of 96.3%.
The management of AS "Amber Latvijas balzams" continues to actively review current investment projects and make decisions regarding their implementation, as well as, where necessary, their postponement or cancellation.
** ROE = Net profit of the last 12 months / average total equity x 100%
* EBITDA = Earnings for the last 12 months before corporate income tax, financial expenses, financial income, depreciation and amortization.

The core operations of AS "Amber Latvijas balzams" are exposed to several financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Company's management continuously manages financial risks with the objective of minimising their potential negative impact on the Company's financial results.
The Company's borrowings carry variable interest rates. The Company's management continuously evaluates opportunities to use hedging instruments in order to reduce the impact of variable interest rates.
Financial assets that potentially expose the Company to a certain concentration of credit risk primarily include receivables from customers, receivables from related parties and loans. The Company has implemented and adheres to a credit policy under which goods are sold on deferred payment terms only to customers with a good credit history. In international transactions, the Company also complies with applicable sanctions regimes, following information published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia, as well as internal procedures.
The Company exercises prudent liquidity risk management by ensuring that adequate credit resources are available to meet liabilities as they fall due. The Company's management manages liquidity and cash flow risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves and securing sufficient funding through granted loans, credit lines, finance leases and other instruments, as well as by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows and aligning the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities.
As at 30 September 2025, the Company's current assets exceeded its current liabilities by EUR 82.4 million (as at 30 September 2024 – EUR 91.6 million). The Company is able to meet its short-term liabilities within the required timeframes. The Company's current ratio and quick ratio for the past three years are as follows:
| 30.09.2025 | 30.09.2024 | 30.09.2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current ratio* | 2,52 | 2,53 | 2,34 |
| Quick ratio** | 1,82 | 1,90 | 1,67 |
