Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of AB Klaipėdos nafta

Report on the Audit of the Separate and the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the separate financial statements of AB Klaipėdos nafta ("the Company") and the consolidated financial statements of AB Klaipėdos nafta and its subsidiaries ("the Group"). The separate and consolidated financial statements comprise:

  • the separate and consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2021,
  • the separate and consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the year then ended,
  • the separate and consolidated statements of changes in equity for the year then ended,
  • the separate and consolidated cash flows statements for the year then ended, and
  • explanatory notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the unconsolidated financial position of the Company and the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and of their respective unconsolidated and consolidated financial performance and their unconsolidated and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the requirements of the Law on Audit of Financial Statements of the Republic of Lithuania that are relevant to audit in the Republic of Lithuania, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Law on Audit of Financial Statements of the Republic of Lithuania and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Each key audit matter and our respective response are described below.

Impairment of the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets

We refer to the financial statements:

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of the LNG reloading station CGU as at 31 December 2021: EUR 24,787 thousand; related impairment losses recognized in 2021: nil.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of the oil terminal CGU as at 31 December 2021: EUR 91,024 thousand; related impairment losses recognized in 2021: EUR 54,206 thousand.

Significant accounting policies – Note 2.8 "Property, plant and equipment", Note 2.25 "Use of estimates and judgments", Note 3 "Property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset"

The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit

As described in Note 3 of the consolidated and the separate financial statements, in the current year, the Company and the Group identified impairment indications in respect of its property, plant and equipment attributed to the LNG reloading station, due to uncertainty in regional LNG market development and LNG reloading station operation extent after the end of long-term capacity rent agreement. In addition, the Company and the Group identified impairment indications in respect of property, plant and equipment and right of use assets attributed to the oil terminal (hereafter – OT), due to loss of transit of oil product flows from Belarus following the sanctions to Belarus introduced by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 of 24 June 2021 and expected loss of AB Klaipėdos nafta client's AB Orlen Lietuva oil products, which contributes significant portion of oil products transhipped via OT, resulted to announced investment to deeper crude oil processing of AB Orlen Lietuva.

Our procedures in the area included, among other things, the following:

  • Evaluating, against the requirements of the relevant financial reporting standards, the Company's and the Group's accounting policy for identification of impairment indicators, and measurement and recognition of any impairment losses in respect of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
  • Assessing the appropriateness of the impairment methodology applied by the Company and the Group against methodologies commonly used for similar assets and the requirements of the relevant financial reporting standards. As part of the above, we identified the relevant methods, assumptions and sources of data, and assessed, whether such methods, assumptions, data and their application are appropriate in the context of the said requirements;
  • Evaluating the quality of the Company's and the Group's forecasting by comparing historical projections with actual outcomes.

As at 31 December 2021, the Company and the Group tested property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets for impairment, as part of the impairment test performed for the LNG reloading station and OT cash generating units ("CGUs"). The Company and the Group determined the CGUs' recoverable amounts based on their value in use estimated under the discounted cash flow method.

Determining the CGU's recoverable amount is a process which requires a number of significant judgments and estimates, especially in respect of the amounts of future cash flows, and associated discount rates and growth rates, based on management's projections of future performance.

The projected operating cash flows from the Company's activities are influenced primarily by assumptions concerning quantity of LNG loaded, prices of loading services as well as level of main related costs.

The main assumptions used in projecting operating cashflows from OT segment are quantity of oil products loaded and stored, prices for transhipment, storage and other related services as well as level of main related costs and investments. These projections are exposed to significant variability due to changing market conditions.

Accordingly, this matter was considered by us to be associated with significant judgements and estimates and required our increased attention in the audit. As such, we determined it to be a key audit matter.

  • Assessing the appropriateness of asset grouping into CGUs, based on our understanding of the Company's and the Group's operations and business units.
  • Challenging the reasonableness of the Company's and Group's key assumptions and judgments used in estimating the recoverable amount, including:
  • Assisted by our own valuation specialists, challenging reasonableness of the key macroeconomic assumptions used, such as those in respect of discount rates, by reference to publicly available external sources;
  • Tracing the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flows calculation, such as those in respect of the future demand, revenue growth, operating costs, by reference to the budgets approved by the Management Board, our understanding of the Company's and the Group's operations and trends, and publicly available industry data;
  • Assessing the fair value less cost to sell calculation prepapred by the external independent valuator;
  • Testing the internal consistency, underlying formulas and mathematical accuracy of the discounted cash flow model.
  • Assessing susceptibility of the impairment models and the resulting impairment conclusions to management bias, by challenging the Company's and the Group's analysis of the model's sensitivity to changes in key underlying assumptions.
  • Testing the allocation of impairment losses to the property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets of OT CGU.
  • Considering the adequacy of impairment-related disclosures in the Company's and the Group's financial statements.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated annual report, including the Governance Report and the Remuneration Report, but does not include the separate and consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

In addition, our responsibility is to consider whether information included in the consolidated annual report, including Governance Report and Remuneration report, for the financial year for which the separate and consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements and whether consolidated annual report, including Governance Report and and Remuneration report, has been prepared in compliance with applicable legal requirements. Based on the work carried out in the course of audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, in our opinion, in all material respects:

  • The information given in the consolidated annual report, including Governance Report and and Remuneration report , for the financial year for which the separate and consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements; and
  • The consolidated annual report, including Governance Report and Remuneration report, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law on Consolidated Financial Reporting by Groups of Undertakings of the Republic of Lithuania.

We also need to check that the Corporate Social Responsibility Report exists. If we identify that Corporate Social Responsibility Report does not exist, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's and the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's and/or the Group's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and/or the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and/or the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Under decision of the general shareholders' meeting, we were appointed on 30 August 2019 for the first time to audit the Company's and the Group's respective separate and consolidated financial statements. Our appointment to audit the Company's and the Group's separate and consolidated financial statements is renewed each year under decision of the general shareholders' meeting, and the total uninterrupted period of engagement is 3 years.

We confirm that our audit opinion expressed in the Opinion section of our report is consistent with the additional report presented to the Company and the Group and its Audit Committee.

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge and belief, we have not provided to the Company and the Group any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

In addition to services provided to the Company and the Group in the course of audit and disclosed in the consolidated and separate financial statements, we have provided translation of consolidated and separate financial statements and performed procedures on the regulated natural gas activity report for the year ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019.

Report on the compliance of format of the separate and consolidated financial statements with the requirements for European Single Electronic Reporting Format

We have been engaged based our agreement by the management of the Company to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance with the applicable requirements of the European single electronic reporting format of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including consolidated annual management report, for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the "Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements"), contained in the file abklaipedosnafta-2021-12-31-en.zip (ParsePort generated hashcode: mtyWc+m+eRNdhmc=).

Description of a subject and applicable criteria

The Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements has been applied by the management of the Company to comply with the requirements of art. 3 and 4 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (the "ESEF Regulation"). The applicable requirements regarding the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements are contained in the ESEF Regulation.

The requirements described in the preceding sentence determine the basis for application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements

and, in our view, these requirements constitute appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance

The management of the Company is responsible for the application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements that complies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using ESEF taxonomy and designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements which is free from material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility was to express a reasonable assurance conclusion whether the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements complies with the ESEF Regulation.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) 'Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information' (the ,,ISAE 3000 (R)"). This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements is prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the service performed in accordance ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect the existing material misstatement (significant non-compliance with the requirements).

Summary of the work performed

Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements was applied, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements and such application is free from material errors or omissions. Our procedures included in particular:

  • obtaining an understanding of the internal control system and processes relevant to the application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the preparation of the XHTML format and marking up the separate and consolidated financial statements;
  • verification whether the XHTML format was applied properly;
  • evaluating the completeness of marking up the separate and consolidated financial statements using the iXBRL markup language according to the requirements of the implementation of single electronic format as described in the ESEF Regulation;
  • evaluating the appropriateness of the Company's and the Group's' use of XBRL markups selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension markups where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified; and
  • evaluating the appropriateness of anchoring of the extension elements to the ESEF taxonomy.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Conclusion

In our opinion, the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the separate and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 complies, in all material respects, with the ESEF Regulation.

2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The financial statements of the Group and the Company are presented in Euro and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (EUR 000), except when otherwise indicated.

These financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared on a historical cost basis unless otherwise stated in the accounting policies below.

The financial year of the Group and the Company coincides with the calendar year.

The numbers in tables may not coincide due to rounding of particular amounts to EUR thousand. Such rounding differences are not material to these financial statements.

2.1. Basis for preparation of the financial statements

Statement of compliance

Annual financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (hereinafter the EU). They were authorized for issuance by the management on 23 March 2022 and are subject to the approval of the shareholders. The shareholders of the Company have the power to reject these financial statements and request for the new ones to be prepared.

IFRSs and their interpretations, announced and adopted by the European Union, effective for the current reporting period

The following new Standards, amendments to Standards and new Interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU are applicable for the reporting period:

  • COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16)
  • Interest rate benchmark reform Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)

The Group and the Company anticipates that the adoption of these standards, revisions and interpretations had no material impact on the financial statements.

Standards and Interpretations in issue not yet adopted

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements the following standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations were issued, however the Group and the Company does not plan to adopt these standards early.

  • Onerous Contract Costs of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendment to IAS 37)
  • Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12)

The Group and the Company has elected not to adopt these standards, revisions and interpretations. The Group and the Company anticipates that the adoption of these standards, revisions and interpretations will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Group and the Company in the period of initial application.

COVID 19 pandemic

The Group's and the Company's management has assessed the impact of COVID-19 pandemic uncertainty to the following key areas:

  • Going concern
  • Fair value, impairment, residual value and useful life of property, plant and equipment
  • Fair value, impairment of investments and other non-current assets
  • Assessment of expected credit losses
  • Classification of financial instruments as current and non-current
  • Lease contracts

The Group's and the Company's management has not identified any significant threats in assessing the potential impact of key COVID-19 factors on the Group's results.

2.2. Foreign currency

Functional currency

The amounts shown in these consolidated and separate financial statements are measured and presented in local currency, euro (EUR), which is the functional currency of the Group and the Company.

The Group and the Company have decided to use EUR as a functional currency considering the structure of revenue, costs, equity, and debt instruments. Despite the fact that lease liabilities are denominated in US dollars, the major part of revenues and cost are denominated in EUR. Most of the Group's and the Company's sales prices and costs are influenced by competitive forces, acting in Lithuania and in the Euro-zone countries. The equity of the Company is formed in EUR.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the conversion of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies using the exchange rate available at the reporting date are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income as finance income or expenses.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are converted using the exchange rate available at the date of the transaction.

Group companies

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into euros at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates observed during reporting period. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss and comprehensive income.

2.3. Going concern

The management of the Group and the Company assessed the going-concern assumptions, during the preparation of the Group's and the Company's Consolidated financial statements. The management believes that no events or conditions, including those related to the current COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine, give rise to doubt about the ability of the Group to continue in operation in the next reporting period. This conclusion is drawn based on knowledge of the Group and the Company, the estimated economic outlook and identified risks and uncertainties in relation thereto.

Furthermore, this conclusion is based on a review of the expected developments in liquidity and capital, current credit facilities available including contractual and expected maturities and covenants. Consequently, it has been concluded that it is reasonable to apply the goingconcern concept as the underlying assumption for the financial statements.

For further details on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine to Annual report.

2.4. Basis for consolidation

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company or the Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full.

Total comprehensive income within a subsidiary is attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:

  • Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;
  • Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;
  • Derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in equity;
  • Recognises the fair value of the consideration received;
  • Recognises the fair value of any investment retained;
  • Recognises any surplus or deficit in profit or loss;
  • Reclassifies the parent's share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income to profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.

2.4. Basis for consolidation (cont'd)

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for noncontrolling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

2.5. Operating segments

Operating segment is a separated business constituent part, the business risks and profitability of which differ from other business constituent parts. Chief executive officer of the Group is responsible for making strategic decisions for distribution of the Company's resources and evaluation of activity's results of the segments.

The management of the Group has identified the following segments (Note 4):

  • LNGT LNG terminal in Klaipėda which receives and stores liquefied natural gas, regasifies and supplies it to Gas Main pipeline;
  • OT Oil terminal in Klaipėda and Subačius oil terminal in Kupiškis who are providing oil products transhipment, services of long-term storage of oil products and other services related to oil products transhipment;
  • comLNG LNG commercial activities includes LNG reloading station and execution of other LNG projects.

2.6. Investment in subsidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost, less impairment in separate financial statements of the Company. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the subsidiary is impaired. If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the subsidiary and it's carrying value and recognises the amount in the profit (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Group and the Company accounts for investments in associates using the equity method. An associate is an entity in which the Group and the Company has significant influence, but no control over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group and the Company holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights of another company.

Under the equity method the investment in the associate is carried in the Statement of Financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group's and the Company's share of the associate's net assets. Goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment.

The share of profit (loss) of an associate is shown on the face of the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group and the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group and the Company. After application of the equity method the Group and the Company determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the investment in associate. The Group and Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case the Group and the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount in the caption "Share of the associate's profit or (loss)" in the statement of comprehensive income.

Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's and the Company's interest to investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

2.7. Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. The Group and the Company did not have assets with indefinite useful lives (as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020). Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic lives of 3-15 years and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. Amortisation periods and methods for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year-end. Calculation of amortization is discontinued as at the first day of the next month after the disposal of asset or when the whole acquisition cost is expensed or reclassified as a part of another asset.

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recorded as an expense as incurred.

2.8. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes, capitalised borrowing costs and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repair and maintenance costs, are normally charged to profit or loss in the period the costs are incurred.

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

The useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the period of depreciation and other estimates including borrowing costs are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant and equipment. In case external and (or) internal impairment indications exist at the date of the statement of financial position, the Group and the Company perform detailed impairment testing in order to ensure that property, plant and equipment are accounted for at value not higher than their recoverable amount.

Construction-in-progress is stated at cost. This includes the cost of construction, plant and equipment and other directly attributable costs including borrowing cost. Construction-in-progress is not depreciated until the relevant assets are completed and available for their intended use. The Group and the Company determine at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the construction-in-progress is impaired. The Group and the Company calculate the amount of impairment for suspended construction-in-progress.

When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the financial statements and any related gains or losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are determined as a difference between proceeds and the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment disposed and recorded in profit (loss).

Subsequent repair costs are included in the asset's carrying amount, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. The estimated useful life (in years) of different groups of property, plant and equipment is as follows:

Group and Company

Description Estimated useful life
Property, plant and equipment
Buildings and structures 10-60
Machinery, plant and equipment 5-55
Other non-current assets 4-15

2.9. Financial instruments

Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i) Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

The Group and the Company qualify financial assets to one of the following categories:

  • measured at amortised cost;
  • measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) debt instruments;
  • measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) equity instruments;
  • measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's and the Company's business model for managing them. Except for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group and the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.

For a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are 'solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.

2.9. Financial instruments (cont'd)

The Group's and the Company's business model for managing financial assets refers to how the Company manages its financial assets to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

A regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

After initial recognition, the Group and the Company measures a financial asset at:

  • Amortised cost;
  • Fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (debt instruments). The Company did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020;
  • Fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments). The Company did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020;
  • Fair value through profit or loss. The Company did not have such items as at 31 December 2021 and 2020.

Financial assets at amortised cost (debt instruments)

This category is the most relevant to the Group and the Company. The Group's and the Company's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade, other current and non-current receivables and contract assets. The Group and the Company measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met and is not designated as of FVTPL:

  • The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.

Impairment of financial assets

Further disclosures relating to impairment of financial assets are also provided in the following notes:

• Trade receivables and contract assets (Notes 7 and 8).

The Group and the Company performs the assessment for all debt instruments on an individual basis. The management considers a financial asset in default (credit impaired) when contractual payments are long overdue due or when indications exist that the debtors or a group of debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults. The lifetime expected credit losses of loans receivable and trade receivables is recognised in profit or loss through the contrary account of doubtful receivables A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.

ii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) or at amortised costs. Financial liability is classified as of FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss in the statement of other comprehensive income.

The Group's and the Company's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings including bank overdrafts and finance lease liabilities, as well as derivative financials instruments.

iii) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, i.e. to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.9. Financial instruments (cont'd)

iv) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Group and the Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss in the statement of other comprehensive income.

2.10. Derecognition of financial instruments

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (i.e., removed from the Group's and the Company's statement of financial position) when:

  • i) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or
    • ii) The Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; and either (a) the Group/Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group/Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group and the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the Group and the Company continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group and the Company also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group and the Company could be required to repay (amount of the guarantee).

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability at fair value, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

2.11. Employee benefits

Social security contributions

The Group and the Company pays social security contributions to the State Social Security Fund (hereinafter the Fund) on behalf of its employees based on the legally defined contribution plan in accordance with the local legal requirements. A defined contribution plan is a plan under which the Group and the Company pays fixed contributions into the Fund and will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees benefits related to employee service in the current and prior period. The social security contributions are recognised as an expense on an accrual basis and are included within staff costs.

Non-current employee benefits

The past service costs are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. Any gains or losses appearing as a result of curtailment and/or settlement are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred. The past service costs are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.

The above-mentioned employee benefit obligation is calculated based on actuarial assumptions, using the projected unit credit method. Obligation is recognized in the statement of financial position and reflects the present value of these benefits on the preparation date of the statement of financial position. Present value of the non-current obligation to employees is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the discount rate which reflects the interest rate of the Government bonds of the same currency and similar maturity as the employment benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income as incurred.

2.12. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realizable value is estimated taking the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion, marketing and distribution. The cost of inventories consists of purchase price, transport, and other costs directly attributable to the cost of inventories. The costs of inventories are determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

2.13. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash in bank accounts. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of three months or less and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value (Note 11).

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months.

2.14. Short term deposits

Short term deposits include short-term bank deposits at the commercial banks with maturity of more than 3 months. Initially short-term bank deposits are recognised at cost. Subsequently short-term deposits are stated at acquisition cost less any allowance for impairment.

2.15. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

The borrowing costs, which represent a part of the cost price of a qualifying asset, the Group and the Company begins to capitalize from the start of construction. Capitalization start is considered to be the day when the company meets the following conditions for the first time: incurs costs in respect of the asset, incurs borrowing costs, carries out activities required to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.

The Group and the Company discontinues the capitalization of borrowing costs when virtually all the activities necessary to prepare a qualifying asset for its intended use or sale have been completed. Commonly, an asset is prepared for its intended use or sale when its physical construction has been completed, even if the routine administrative work is still carried out. Although small changes are still possible, such as finishing of the asset in accordance with the instructions of a purchaser or user, it indicates that, essentially, all the activities have already been completed.

During the year 2021 and 2020 the Group and the Company did not capitalize borrowing costs due to the reason that all outstanding borrowings were related to assets which were not qualifying for borrowing costs capitalization in accordance with IAS 23.

2.16. Lease

At inception of contract, a Group and the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use if an identified asset for a period of time in exchange in consideration.

The Group and the Company as a lessee

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component the Group and the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices.

The Group and the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group and the Company by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group and the Company will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's and the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group and the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

2.16. Lease (cont'd)

  • Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
  • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date;
  • Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
  • The exercise price under a purchase option that the Group and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group and the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group's and the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group and the Company's changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group and the Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in Right-of-use assets' and lease liabilities inlease liabilities` in the statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group and the Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low-value assets and short-term leases, including IT equipment. The Group and the Company recognises the lease payments associated with the leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group and the Company as a lessor

At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group and the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on their relative stand-alone prices.

When the Group and the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group and the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease.

As part of this assessment, the Group and the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for a major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group and the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group and the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Group and the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

2.17. Income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, also including adjustments in respect of prior years. The tax rates used to compute the amount are those that are enacted by the date of the Statement of Financial position.

Income tax charge is based on profit for the year and considers deferred taxation. Income tax is calculated based on the Lithuanian tax legislation.

The standard corporate income tax rate in the Republic of Lithuania is 15% as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020. The Group's subsidiary KN Açu Serviços de Terminal de GNL Ltda applies Brazilian Tax System and subsidiary´s administration has elected the Real Profit Regime that is calculated on quarterly basis. The official rates are 25% for Income tax and 9% Social Contribution on Net Profit.

As to Law on Corporate Income Tax of the Republic of Lithuania starting from 1 January 2014 deductible tax losses carried forward can be used to reduce the taxable income earned during the reporting year by maximum 70%. Tax losses can be carried forward for indefinite period, except for the losses incurred as a result of disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments. Such carrying forward is disrupted if the Group and the Company stops its activities due to which these losses were incurred except when the Group and the Company does not continue its activities due to reasons which do not depend on the Company itself.

The losses from disposal of securities and/or derivative financial instruments can be carried forward for 5 consecutive years and only be used to reduce the taxable income earned from the transactions of the same nature.

2.17. Income tax (cont'd)

Deferred income tax is recognized in respect to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised in the Statement of Financial position to the extent the management of the Group and the Company believes it will be realised in the foreseeable future, based on taxable profit forecasts. If it is believed that part of the deferred tax asset is not going to be realised, this part of the deferred tax asset is not recognised in the financial statements.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

2.18. Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the financial statements when they are declared by the Annual General Shareholders' Meeting.

2.19. Basic and diluted earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average of ordinary registered shares issued. Provided that the number of shares changes without causing a change in the economic resources, the weighted average of ordinary registered shares is adjusted in proportion to the change in the number of shares as if this change took place at the beginning of the previous period presented. Since there are no instruments reducing profit (loss) per share, there is no difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share (Note 24).

2.20. Provisions

General

Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation in respect of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. Where the Group and the Company expects the provision to be reimbursed the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Expenses related to provisions are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

The Company applies a 'net liability' approach in accounting for the emission rights received. It records the emission allowances granted to it at a nominal (null) amount, as it is allowed by IAS 20 "Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance". Liabilities for emissions are recognised only as emissions are made (i.e. provisions are never made on the basis of expected future emissions) and only when the reporting entity has made emissions in excess of the rights held. Costs of allowances are recorded under cost of sales caption in the other comprehensive income.

2.21. Deferred government grants

Asset-related grants

Asset-related government and the European Union grants and third-party compensations comprise grants received in the form of non-current assets or intended for the acquisition of non-current assets. Grants are initially recognised at fair value of the asset received and subsequently accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income by reducing the depreciation charge of related asset over the expected useful life of the asset.

The Group and the Company

2021 2020
Balance as at 1 January 5,817 5,988
Received during the year 302 223
Amortisation (348) (394)
Balance as at 31 December 5,771 5,817

Amortisation of grants related to assets of EUR 348 thousand for 2021 (EUR 394 thousand for 2020) has been included into cost of sales in the statement of comprehensive income.

The Group and the Company has no unfulfilled conditions or contingencies attached to these grants as at 31 December 2021 and as at 31 December 2020.

2.21. Deferred government grants (cont'd)

Income-related grants

Government and the European Union grants received as a compensation for the expenses or unearned income of the current or previous reporting period, also, all other grants, which are not asset-related grants, are treated as income-related grants. The income-related grants are recognised as used in parts to the extent of the expenses incurred during the reporting period or unearned income to be compensated by that grant. These grants are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, net of related expenditure.

2.22. Revenue recognition

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group and the Company recognizes revenue at the time and to the extent that the transfer of goods or services to customers would reflect an amount that the Group and the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In applying this Standard, the Group and the Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances. Revenue is recognized using the 5-step model:

Step 1 – Identification of the contract with the customer.

The contract acknowledges an agreement between two or more parties (subject to purchase / sale conditions) that creates enforceable rights and enforceable obligations (not applicable if a joint venture agreement is signed).

A contract that is subject to IFRS 15 is recognized only if the following criteria are met:

  • the parties have approved the contract (in writing, orally or in accordance with other usual business practices) and are bound by the obligations under the contract,
  • there is a possibility to identify the rights of each party in respect of the goods and / or services to be transferred,
  • there is a possibility of identifying the payment terms provided for the goods and / or services to be transferred,
  • the contract is of a commercial nature,
  • there is a possibility of getting a reward in return for the goods and / or services that will be transferred to the customer.

Contracts with the customer may be combined or separated into several contracts, while retaining the criteria of the former contracts. Such interconnection or separation is considered a change of contract.

Step 2 – Identification of operational commitments in the contract.

The contract establishes a commitment to deliver goods and / or services to the customer. When goods and / or services can be distinguished, liabilities are recognized separately. Each commitment is identified in one of two ways:

  • the product and / or service is separate, or
  • a set of individual goods and / or services that are essentially the same and passed on to the customer in a uniform model.

Step 3 – Determination of a transaction price.

The Group and the Company considers the terms of the transaction and the usual business practices. The transaction price is the amount of consideration that the Group and the Company expects to receive after delivering promised goods and services to the Customer, except for amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The fee provided for in a contract with a client may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

Step 4 – The transaction price is attributable to the contractual performance obligations.

The Group and the Company attributes the portion of the transaction price to each operating obligation in an amount that reflects the amount of consideration to which the Group and the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services transferred to the customer. The transaction price is allocated to each operating obligation based on the relative individual selling prices of the good or service promised in the contract. If the contract does not specify the price of the service or product separately (for example, one price for two products), the Group and the Company determines it. Similar transactions are treated equally.

Step 5 – Revenue is recognised when the Group and the Company performs operating obligations.

Revenue is recognised when the operating obligation is settled by the transfer of goods or services to the customer (i. e. the customer acquires control over the mentioned goods or services). Revenue is recognized as an amount equal to the transaction price that was determined for the respective operating obligation. The recognised amount of revenue is attributed to the settled liability that can be settled at a particular point of time or over a period.

Revenue is recognized when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, and when specific criteria have been met for each type of income. The Company relies on historical results, considering the customer type, the transaction type and the terms of each agreement.

Revenue is recognised by classifying it as per customer contracts, other income and finance income.

Revenue from contracts with clients is only recognized when the control of goods or services is transferred to the client to the extent that reflects the remuneration which the Group and the Company expects to receive in return for these goods or services.

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED AND SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED ON 31 DECEMBER 2021 (all amounts are in EUR thousand unless otherwise stated)

2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONT'D)

2.22. Revenue recognition (cont'd)

The Group and Company has following main revenue streams (Note 19):

- Income from LNGT services (47% from total sales revenue in 2021, 46% in 2020)

One performance obligation exists – to ensure the compensation of for all fixed operating costs of LNGT infrastructure. The Group and the Company acts as a principal in service provision. Revenues are recognized at the over the point of time when the services were rendered based on amount collected from the users of the natural gas transmission system due to the following reasons:

  • The Group and the Company has a present right to payment for the rendered LNGT services;
  • Significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the client;
  • The client has accepted the service.

- Oil products transhipment services (33% from total sales revenue in 2021, 35% in 2020)

One performance obligation exists – to provide oil product loading service for which the loading rate is specified. Company acts as a principal in service provision. Revenues are recognized over time due to the following reasons:

  • By providing the services of loading of oil products, the Group and the Company does not create an alternative use of the assets, which it could sell as goods.
  • The Group and the Company shall have the unconditional refund right for the performed share of production. In the event the client does not perform or is behind the schedule in performing his obligations, the Company, having notified the client, has the right to suspend the provision of services and/or to detain the oil products within the terminal until the client's obligations are fulfilled. All the consequences and losses arising from the detention of oil products and/or suspension of the provision of services shall be borne by the client.
  • With the client's delay in dispatching the oil products from the terminal, additional storage fees shall be applied. This way the Group and the Company shall not only compensate the expenses of storage of oil products, but also obtain income.
  • In the event the client terminates the agreement in a unilateral manner, he usually must pay the take-or-pay fee, if such was specified in the contract, or the difference in the oil product quantity between the planned minimum annual amount of reload and the reloaded amount.

Calculation of percentage of completeness of performance obligation already satisfied at year end is calculated in the following way. The Group and the Company recognises revenues from oil transhipment taking into account the level of fulfilment of a service. The level of service provided is measured as percentage of transhipment cost expenses from the total cost of services. In the case reliable evaluation of the service agreement is impossible, the revenues are recognised only as a part of expenses incurred that can be recoverable. Service provided at certain level of completion is already received and consumed by the customer and the customer benefits from it (it would not incur the whole loading service cost in service reperformance case), therefore management believes that percentage of completion accounting method applied by the Group and the Company is in line with IFRS 15 requirements.

- Income from other LNG terminal activities (15% from total sales revenue in 2021, 15% in 2020). Main source of other LNG terminal activities income:

Small-scale LNG reloading station in Klaipėda:

Small-scale LNG reloading station activities have one performance obligation exists – to provide LNG reloading station services. Company acts as a principal in service provision. Revenues are recognized over the point of time when services are rendered.

  • The Group and the Company has a present right to payment for the rendered LNG reloading station services;
  • Significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the client;
  • The client has accepted the service.
    • Operation of LNG terminal in Açu port in Brazil:

Operation of LNG terminal in Açu port in Brazil has one performance obligation exists – to provide LNG terminal management and operation services. Company acts as a principal in service provision. Revenues are recognized over the point of time based on services provided.

  • The Group and the Company has a present right to payment for the rendered LNG terminal operation services;
  • Significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the client;
  • The client has accepted the service.

- Other activities

Revenues from other activities consist of sales of goods and other services rendered (mainly storage of oil products, consulting services). The Group and the Company acts as a principal in service provision. Revenues from sales of goods are recognized when the control of the goods is passed to customer (at point in time), revenues from other services – when the services are provided (over the point in time).

Revenues are recorded in the statement of comprehensive income under the item "Revenues from contracts with customers", and the assets resulting from contracts with customers are accounted for as short-term assets under the item "contract assets" in the statement of financial position. Related costs are accounted for in the statement of comprehensive income under the item "Cost of sales".

2.22. Revenue recognition (cont'd)

Due to the Group's and the Company's business nature the management did not make any other significant accounting judgments, estimates or assumptions relating to revenue from contracts with customers recognition except for take or pay transactions described below.

Take-or-Pay

The Company calculates monthly, quarterly or annual Take-or-Pay fees to certain customers once the loading quantities specified in the contract with customer are not achieved. Since the most probable loading quantity is agreed with the customer in the contract and only due to certain unforeseen circumstances arisen in the market, the loading quantity cannot be reached. Take-or-Pay is calculated at the period-end. There is no significant impact on financial statements for year ended 31 December 2021 as no significant Take or-Pay transactions occurred in 2021 and 2020.

Contract assets – accrued income

Contract assets mean the right to the remuneration for goods or services, which were delivered or provided to the client, but not invoiced yet.

If the Company renders services to the Client before the Client pays for these services or before the payment term, the contractual assets are calculated by the amount equal to the earned contingent remuneration. The assets resulting from contracts with clients, i.e. the accumulated income, after all the contractual obligations are fulfilled and the invoice is issued, are recognised as a trade receivable.

Contract liabilities – prepayments received

Contract liabilities include advances received from customers for services to be delivered in the future. Contract liabilities also include interest and fees paid by AB Ambergrid on behalf of AB Achema (as disclosed in Note 27).

Income from liquefied natural gas terminal services regulated by National Energy Regulatory Council

Income from LNGT services are regulated by NERC. Based on LNG terminal law clause 5.2, all users of the natural gas transmission system, including final consumers, are obliged to pay the Additional Security supplement together with their other payments for the natural gas transmission service.

The revenue of the LNG terminal activity comprises from: i) LNG regasification tariff; ii) LNG reloading tariff and iii) liquefaction price fixed part which is collected through additional security supplement to the natural gas transmission price (hereinafter – LNG security supplement). Regasification and reloading revenue are collected directly from the clients after services are provided based on quantities. For the actual tariffs see the LNGT services in the annual report. The LNG security supplement is collected by the transmission service operator (hereinafter referred to as "TSO") either directly from the user or from suppliers of natural gas in case the user has no direct contractual obligations with the TSO. The additional Security Supplement is calculated by the NERC on an annual basis in proportion to the planned natural gas consumption capacities as set out in National legislation in relation to gas market.

Prices set for the LNGT services for the year 2021 and 2020:

  • LNG regasification service price fixed part is approved by the NERC based on LNG regasification service price cap set by NERC:
  • price of variable part for the year 2021 set by the resolution No. O3E-1207 on 23 November 2020, is 0.41 EUR/MWh
  • price of variable part for the year 2020 set by the resolution No. O3E-724 on 15 November 2019, is 0.35 EUR/MWh
  • NERC on 23 November 2020 adopted decision on reloading service prices for the year 2021. Differentiated LNG reloading tariff was set based on size of LNG cargos to be reloaded (general tariff 1.11 EUR/MWh in 2020):
  • Small scale cargos up to 15,000 m3 LNG 0.53 EUR/MWh;
  • Medium scale cargos from 15,000 up to 50,000 m3 LNG 0.41 EUR/MWh;
  • Large scale cargos from 50,000 m3 LNG 0.30 EUR/MWh.
  • LNG regasification service price fixed cap is being adjusted on yearly basis.

Sales of goods

Revenues from sales of goods are recognised upon delivery and transfer of risks of products and customer acceptance.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit (loss) on accrual basis (using the effective interest rate method).

Dividend income

Dividend income represents gross dividends from investment and recognised when the shareholder's rights to receive payment is established.

Rent income

Rent income is recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Income from fines and penalties

Income from fines and penalties is recognized when the Company has evidence that fines and penalties will be received and the probability that it would not be received is low or when money is already received.

2.23. Expenses recognition

Expenses are recognised based on accrual and revenue and expense matching principles in the reporting period when the income related to these expenses was earned, irrespective of the time the money was spent. In those cases when the costs incurred cannot be directly attributed to the specific income and they will not bring income during the future periods, they are expensed as incurred.

The amount of expenses is usually accounted for as the amount paid or due, excluding VAT. In the cases when a long period of payment is established and the interest is not distinguished, the amount of expenses shall be estimated by discounting the amount of payment using the market interest rate.

2.24. Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group and the Company reviews at least at each reporting date the carrying amounts of non-financial assets, excluding inventories and deferred income tax assets, to assess whether an indication of impairment exists. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount.

Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit (loss). Reversal of impairment losses recognised in prior years is recorded when there is an indication that the impairment losses recognised for the asset no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is accounted in the same caption of the profit (loss) as the impairment loss.

Recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is its value in use or fair value less costs to sell depending on which is greater. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For impairment testing the asset that cannot be assessed individually is grouped into the minimum asset's group generating cash inflows during continuous use and that is independent from other asset or asset's groups generating cash flows (cash generating unit or CGU).

Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the impairment loss is recognised in the profit (loss). Impairment losses related to the value of CGU are proportionally attributed to decrease the carrying amount of the asset, prescribed to the unit (unit group).

Previously recognised impairment losses are reversed only if there is any indication that such losses no longer exist or have decreased. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined net of depreciation or amortisation had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. The reversal is accounted in the same caption of the profit (loss) as the impairment loss.

2.25. Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.

Significant accounting judgements

Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:

  • Lease term: whether the Group and the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option to purchase FSRU (Note 14)
  • Provision for acquisition of emission allowances (Note 16);
  • The deferred tax (Note 23).

Assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties as at 31 December 2021 that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year is included in the following notes:

  • Impairment evaluation of property, plant and equipment and right of use asset: key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts of identified cash generating units (Note 3);
  • Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Note 3);
  • Residual value and useful life of FSRU (Note 3);
  • Impairment evaluation of investments to subsidiaries: key assumptions underlying recoverable amounts (Note 5);
  • Net realisable value of inventory (Note 6)
  • Assessment of expected credit losses and impairment losses on receivable amounts: key assumptions determining the impairment allowance (Note 7);

2.25. Use of estimates and judgements (cont'd)

  • Recognition of deferred tax assets: availability of future taxable profit against which deductible temporary differences and tax losses carried forward can be utilized (Note 23);
  • Measurement of non-current employee benefits: key actuarial assumptions (Note 13);
  • Recognition and measurement of provisions and contingencies: key assumptions about the likelihood and magnitude of an outflow of resources (Note 27).

2.26. Contingencies

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote.

A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

2.27. Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Company are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount recognised less cumulative amortisation.

2.28. Subsequent events

Subsequent events that provide additional information about the Company's position at the date of the statement of financial position (adjusting events) are reflected in the financial statements. Subsequent events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes if material (Note 29).

2.29. Offsetting

When preparing the financial statements, assets, and liabilities, as well as income and expenses are not set off, except the cases when certain International Financial Reporting Standard specifically allows such set-off.

2.30. Fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (Note 26).

However, the objective of a fair value measurement in both cases is the same: to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the assets or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an ultimate price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).

In determining the fair value of non-financial assets, market participant's ability to derive economic benefit from the assets in using it in the highest and best use or selling the asset to another market participant, who would use it according to the highest and best use, is considered.

In determining the fair value, a business entity should determine all the following:

  • the specific assets or liability, the fair value of which is determined (together with the appropriate unit of account);
  • when non-financial asset is valuated, the valuation assumption, which is fit for the purpose of determining the fair value (along with the corresponding highest and best use of the non-financial asset);
  • the principal (or most advantageous) market for the assets or liability;
  • the valuation technique(s) appropriate for the measurement, considering the availability of data with which to develop inputs that represent the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the inputs are categorised.

The objective of using a valuation technique is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the assets or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Three widely used valuation techniques are the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach.

Market approach. A valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable (i.e., similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities, such as a business.

Cost approach. A valuation technique that reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often referred to as current replacement cost).

2.30. Fair value (cont'd)

Income approach. Valuation techniques that convert future amounts (e.g., cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (i.e., discounted) amount. The fair value measurement is determined based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

Fair value hierarchy. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, the IFRS 13 establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

Level 1 inputs. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group and the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing classification (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

The Group's and the Company's depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounts to EUR 11,408 thousand and EUR 11,378 thousand for the year 2021, respectively (EUR 12,227 and 12,212 thousand – in 2020). In 2021 the depreciation EUR 348 thousand was reduced by amortisation of related grant (EUR 394 thousand – in 2020). EUR 11,199 thousand and EUR 11,169 thousand of depreciation charge has been included into cost of sales of the Group and the Company, respectively (EUR 11,955 and 11,940 thousand – in 2020). The remaining amount EUR 209 thousand (EUR 272 thousand – in 2020) has been included into operating expenses in the Statement of comprehensive income of both, the Group and the Company.

Part of the Group's and the Company's property, plant and equipment with the acquisition cost of EUR 40,537 thousand as at 31 December 2021 was completely depreciated (EUR 40,019 thousand on 31 December 2020), however, it was still in operation.

The Group's and the Company's property, plant and equipment attributed to Liquefied natural gas terminal (net book value amounted to EUR 43,353 thousand) was pledged to the Ministry of Finance of Republic of Lithuania for the state guarantee, given to European Investment Bank (hereinafter – EIB) and Nordic Investment Bank (hereinafter – NIB) as at 31 December 2021 (net book value amounted to EUR 43,274 thousand as at 31 December 2020).

The Group's and the Company's property, plant and equipment attributed to Subačius oil terminal, with net book value amounting to EUR 4,483 thousand, was pledged to the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania for the state guarantee, given to NIB as at 31 December 2021 (net book value of pledged property, plant and equipment amounted to EUR 4,807 thousand as at 31 December 2020).

The management of the Group and the Company has assessed the internal and external indications of impairment for property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020:

  • Analysis showed that there were impairment indications of property, plant and equipment attributed to LNG reloading station as at 31 December 2020 due to loss making activities. The estimated recoverable amount of the assets exceeded carrying amount as at 31 December 2020.
  • Due to uncertainty in regional LNG market development and LNG reloading station operation extent after the end of long-term capacity rent agreement the management of the Group and the Company performed an impairment test as at the end of the year 2021. Based on the results of the test no impairment were recognised as at 31 December 2021.

  • Net book value of property, plant and equipment and right of use asset attributed to LNG reloading station amounted to EUR 24,787 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (EUR 26,336 thousand as at 31 December 2020);
  • As at 31 August 2021 the management of the Group and the Company identified that there are indications that property, plant and equipment and right-of-use asset attributed to oil terminal (OT) segment in Klaipėda might be impaired. Accordingly, impairment loss was recognised as of this date as described below. As at 31 December 2021 no indications for additional impairment (or reversal of the recognised) were identified. Net book value of assets attributed to OT segment amounted to EUR 91,024 thousand as at 31 December 2021 (EUR 140,329 thousand as at 31 December 2020).

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and right of use asset attributed to Klaipėda oil terminal assets

During 2021, the Group's and the Company's management carried out an impairment test in order to determine whether Klaipėda oil terminal CGU's recoverable amount may differ from its carrying amount. The recoverable amount of CGU has been determined at the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Independent valuator carried out fair value less cost of disposal valuation of Klaipėda oil terminal CGU as of 31 August 2021. Based on the impairment testing procedures performed it was identified that the value in use is higher and set as a recoverable amount.

Main indicators for performing impairment test and reassessing possible impairment indications within the Group and the Company are related to a complex of risks that have materialized throughout the year and are expected to significantly impact future cashflows of CGU of Klaipėda oil terminal:

  • Due to sanctions to Belarus introduced by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 of 24th June 2021 no more transit of oil products flows from Belarus are possible and not expected in the future.
  • KN client AB Orlen Lietuva plans to invest into deeper crude oil processing. Implementation of mentioned project would enable client to refine higher portion of lighter petroleum products to replace high-sulphur residue products, which currently makes a signification portion of oil products, transshipped via Klaipėda oil terminal.

Subsequently after occurrence of the abovementioned events, the Management of the Group and the Company has revised the projections of future cash flows of Klaipėda oil terminal. Value-in-use assessment cash-flow projections were based on the long-term financial plan and assumptions that were aligned with the Group's and the Company's Board in August 2021.

CGU's cash-flows were projected for the period of 2022-2047 based on estimated remaining useful life of key assets. Additionally, segment is operating in asset-heavy and stable industry, relying on long-term contracts, allowing to execute long term cash flow projections. Overall oil product transshipment was expected to increase by 9 percent by 2025, compared to quantity forecasted for 2021, and drop by 23 percent after expected implementation of AB Orlen Lietuva investment. Oil product transshipment during the period of 2027-2030 was expected to remain at the similar level and start gradually decreasing by on average 1.7 percent p.a. afterwards. Oil product storage income was expected to increase by approx. 22 percent by 2023, relative to the amount forecasted for 2021, further increase by 26 percent in 2026 and grow steadily by 2 percent afterwards, mainly due to indexed growth rates. Restorative and maintenance investments into Klaipėda oil terminal assets were assumed to reach EUR 55,061 thousand during the forecasted period.

Cash flows up to 2026, used in the assessment, were projected based on the assumption made by the management that AB Orlen Lietuva investment would be finished till that date, significantly impacting scope of CGU activity and cash flows in subsequent periods. Operating assumptions used in cash flow calculations are projected based on global oil market forecast from the year 2030, meanwhile, income and expense assumptions for the remaining periods are projected based on 2% growth rate, which is aimed inflation target in order to maintain price stability over the medium term, according to the decision of ECB Governing Council in July 2021.

To determine the value in use of CGU, future pre-tax cash flows are calculated and discounted with a pre-tax discount rate that represents current market valuation of time value of money as well as the significant risks allocated to related assets.

The discount rate was calculated as the weighted average cost of capital using data of a selected peer group of companies, as well as other commonly used indicators such as – risk-free rate of Lithuanian government bonds, country risk premium, corporate credit spread and effective tax rate that reflects market that CGU is generally based in. To reflect risks and uncertainty arising from the Company's business environment, additional risk premium of 1.3% was estimated and added directly to pre-tax WACC estimate.

Accordingly, the estimate of value in use was determined using a pre-tax discount rate of 6.65% (31 December 2020 – 5.8%).

As a result of impairment testing carried out as at 31 August 2021 for Klaipėda oil terminal CGU, the impairment loss of EUR 54,206 thousand for the CGU's assets with the carrying amount of EUR 139,326 thousand as of that date was recognized and allocated as follows:

Impairment loss recognized in the
statement of comprehensive income
attributed to the assets during 2021
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (45,049)
Construction in progress (3,342)
Right-of-use assets (5,815)
(54,206)

Sensitivity analysis of Klaipėda oil terminal assets value in use within an impairment test carried out as of 31 August 2021

The major elements impacting the amount of the value in use of Klaipėda oil terminal assets within the individual CGU are income generated from terminal operation and the discount rate applied.

The sensitivity of changes of the elements mentioned above on the impairment are presented below.

10.0% 42,648 35,504 28,896 22,777 17,104

The Group and the Company has additionally assessed annual investments and income level from key client as major elements impacting value in use of Klaipėda oil terminal assets. Under the base scenario EUR 55,061 thousand of capital investments are assumed during the valuation period. It is estimated that a 10 percent proportional increase in annual capital expenditure would result in additional impairment of EUR 3,529 thousand, meanwhile, a 10 percent decrease would result in lower impairment by EUR 3,529 thousand.

In case of reloading quantities from main client would not significantly change from 2026 EUR 19,180 thousand positive impact to value in use would be identified.

Future financial projections are based on several assumptions, a part of which concern macroeconomic factors such as: commodity prices, regional and global market demands, global oil business development will remain beyond the control of the Group and the Company. Changes in mentioned assumptions can affect impairment test results of non-current assets and may result to changes in the financial position and financial results of the Group and the Company. Accordingly, the CGU of Klaipėda oil terminal remains very sensitive to further impairment losses (or reversal of impairment losses) in the future reporting periods.

Separately from major impairment recognition in 2021, the Group and the Company accounted impairment of EUR 214 thousand for the construction in progress (in 2020 the Group and the Company reviewed property, plant and equipment and accounted impairment of EUR 384 thousand). The impairment of such non-current asset items was included into operating expenses in the Statement of comprehensive income during the year 2021 and 2020. The management has not identified any indications, that the remaining property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020 might be impaired.

The Group's and the Company's depreciation of right-of-use asset amounts to EUR 14,329 thousand and EUR 14,324 thousand for the year 2021, respectively (EUR 14,431 thousand in 2020). EUR 14,052 thousand of depreciation charge has been included into cost of sales of both, the Group and the Company (EUR 14,096 thousand in 2020) and the remaining amount of EUR 277 thousand and EUR 272 thousand has been included into operating expenses in the Statement of comprehensive income of the Group and the Company, respectively (EUR 335 thousand in 2020).

Since right of use assets do not generate separate cash flow, the management of the Group and the Company has assessed the internal and external indications of impairment of right-of-use assets along with other tangible assets as common CGU as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020. The impairment related to Klaipėda oil terminal business segment for EUR 5,815 thousand accounted as at 31 December 2021 and has been included into operating expenses in the Statement of comprehensive income of both, the Group and the Company. The management did not identify impairment of the right-of-use assets as at 31 December 2020.

(1) The significant factor, which has influenced the decrease in Group's and Company's revenue in 2021, is lower regasification volumes compared to the previous year. Also decrease in revenue was affected by the reduction of LNG security supplement income in 2021 due to proportionally recognised repayment of the excess returns (surplus income) from regulated activities during the period 2014-2019 and repayment related to LNG reloading revenue for 2019.

Income from LNGT services regulated by NERC contains income from LNG regasification service, LNG reloading service and Additional Security supplement (largest component). LNG regasification price cap is being adjusted on yearly basis. Since 2020 LNG reloading price is adjusted annually.

LNG terminal additional security supplement tariff is applied to Terminal users, who regasify gas via LNG terminal and use gas transmission system. LNG terminal additional security supplement tariff is set by NERC by the resolutions annually and is dedicated to cover operating costs of LNG terminal, its infrastructure and tie-in, independently from gas volumes regasified and submitted to gas transmission system.

LNG terminal supplement tariff is calculated according to the formula and methodology set out in NERC Resolution No. O3-367 issued on 13 September 2013 and its subsequent amendments.

  • (2) In December 2020 the client of the Company BNK (UK) Limited has informed about the temporary suspension of oil products sales through Klaipėda. In the future tenders announced by BNK (UK) Limited will not be indicated as their sales point.

26 FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Credit risk

The Company has significant concentration of trading counterparties. Trade receivables from the main customer A of the Company accounted for approximately 69% as at 31 December 2021 (about 64% as at 31 December 2020), customer B – on 31 December 2021 accounted for approximately 14% (13% as at 31 December 2020), customer C – on 31 December 2021 accounted for approximately 6% (about 5% as at 31 December 2020), customer D – on 31 December 2021 accounted for approximately 5% (about 2% as at 31 December 2020) of the total Group's and Company's receivables from all its customers. The average payment term for the main customer mentioned above varies from 20 to 10 calendar days, whereas the usual payment terms for all other customers is 5 days. A possible credit risk for the Group's and the Company's customers is managed by a continuous monitoring of outstanding balances.

Credit risk (cont'd)

The Group's and Company's procedures are in force to ensure on a permanent basis that services are provided to reliable customers and do not exceed an acceptable credit exposure limit. The Company trades only with reputable third parties, so there is no requirement for collateral.

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset, including derivative financial instruments, if any, in the Statement of Financial position. Consequently, the Group and the Company considers that its maximum exposure is reflected by the amount of trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and cash and other short-term deposits recognized at the date of Statement of Financial position. In the management's opinion there were no reasonably likely circumstances, which would raise additional obligations to the Group and the Company.

The following table provides information about the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables from the customers:

Overall, 56% of loan portfolio is exposed to floating interest rate risk no hedging derivative instruments were used. Thus, such standing has implications on financial results.

EIB facility with 3 tranches is exposed to 3 months EURIBOR with zero-floor applicable on EURIBOR base. In contrast, NIB facilities are exposed to 6 months EURIBOR with no zero-floor applicable on EURIBOR base.

Fixed margin varies from 0,066% to 0,78% as at 31 December 2021.

The Group and the Company is constantly assessing its possibilities to hedge interest rate risks on its loans. Thus, the loans related with longterm LNG terminal solution with high probability in future are expected to be with partially or fully fixed interests.

The Group's and the Company's excess liquidity in forms of money and time deposits are distributed across the accounts of major Lithuanian banks, which are granted with Standard Poor's or equivalent long-term term borrowing BBB- or better external rating according to the foreign rating agencies. Partner bank's rating is assessed either on a stand-alone or applying a bank group logic into which exposure is present. Also, the Group and the Company is monitoring recommendation of the Central Bank of Lithuania.

Retrospectively, risk related to the funds security in banks was limited, because the Group and the Company carried out transactions with the banks that have high ratings provided by the foreign rating agents.

As at 31 December 2021 increase in EURIBOR interest rate by 10 basis points would increase yearly interest expenses amount by EUR 19 thousand (as at 31 December 2020 – EUR 28 thousand).

Exchange rate risk

The Group and the Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations primarily related to the U.S. dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions as well as recognized liabilities including impact arising from IFRS 16 "Leases".

Because the highest part of lease payments is denominated in US dollars, as a result changes in exchange rates occur in the statement of comprehensive income, the Group and the Company incurred the currency exchange loss amounting to EUR 22,073 thousand for 2021 arising from IFRS 16 "Leases" and profit amounting to EUR 28,765 thousand for 2020.

In 2020 the Group and the Company started to use derivative instruments in order to manage the risk arising from the USD and BRL currency rate fluctuations.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the Company will not incur any significant additional costs related to this case, therefore no provisions for this ongoing case have been formed in the preparation of the financial statements of 31 December 2021.

The Company is a civil plaintiff in a criminal case on the accusations against the former managers of the Company and against companies UAB "Naftos grupė" and UAB "Artilona".

In 2017 the court of the first instance issued a verdict to award the payment of EUR 20.9 million and 5% annual interest in favour of the Company and, additionally, to cover the court representation costs. However, all accused persons appealed against the first instance court decision and the case was transferred to the appellate instance, Court of Appeal of Lithuania. Currently, the case is still on-going.

Since the Company is a plaintiff in the case, no significant additional costs related to this case will be incurred.

Since 2015 the Company is involved as a third interested party in the legal case with AB Achema, which has submitted 10 complaints regarding the resolutions of the NERC to the court. AB Achema requests the court to annul NERC resolutions related to the additional security component of natural gas supply transmission price.

The Company does not recognise the received payments for fines and interest as income until a court decision is rendered. Payments received are presented under Contract liabilities caption in the statement of financial position.

A FOREWORD OF THE CEO

Dears,

If at the beginning of 2022 someone had asked me to summarize the keywords or phrases which would describe previous year, the first ones to come to my mind were "uncertainty", "perfect storm" and "mitigation of risks". As it was predicted, 2021 was indeed a challenging year for KN. Perhaps even more challenging than we could have anticipated, as the amount of negative, largely unpredictable factors and circumstances affecting the operations of our oil terminals really broke any previous "anti-records", forming a so-called "perfect storm". At the beginning of the year, the loss of the flow of oil products from the East due to geopolitical reasons meant that we had not only to adjust to a significant drop in revenues, but also to live with much more modest turnover from our remaining major oil terminal customers due to the still record low refining margins caused by COVID-19 pandemic. In the second half of the year, we faced yet another challenge, which was the unprecedented level of energy prices and emission allowance costs. These have largely wiped out our tremendous efforts to improve the efficiency of the organisation's operations and processes, although we have made occasional improvements in some areas of activity. The same reason led to a significant reduction in regasification volumes at the Klaipėda LNG terminal.

In accordance with international accounting standards and in response to the dramatic changes in the assumptions and circumstances of KN oil business segment, which historically was most profitable, we had to recognise an impairment of the assets of this business segment.

On the other hand, in 2021 we also had several breakthroughs: better than expected performance in KN Açu and other LNG commercial activities; fully operational new infrastructure at Klaipėda Oil Terminal, which allowed us to attract new customers, products, and launch entirely new services at oil terminals, as well as contributed to the significant progress in energy efficiency. I can confidently say that in 2021, KN has become a regional hub for biofuel handling, storage, and production. And even with the decrease in transhipment volumes, we have maintained our market share among the Baltic oil terminals, staying in the top three, competing with terminals in Latvia and Estonia with much larger capacities. And then there is the successful maintenance of the ISO certification, and the acknowledgements for the great progress in environmental sustainability and emission reduction from communities and institutions. Also, in 2021 we were chosen as the most desirable employer in the Lithuanian logistics segment by main Lithuanian business newspaper "Verslo žinios".

The scope and scale of the changes in the business and the aforementioned "perfect storm" conditions have led us to devote a lot of time and energy in the Company to the process of reviewing our core document - the strategy - focusing mainly on refining the strategic assumptions and objectives in the near term, as well as on negative circumstances mitigation tactics.

Although 2021 was a very challenging year, latest geopolitical developments superseded everything imaginable, and it appears that we will have to face the consequences of the war in Ukraine. Intolerable military invasion by Putin's regime into sovereign Ukraine will have a significant impact for the entire world. Various supply chains are already broken and many of them will brake soon, if this bloody and brutal war will not be stopped. Energy markets are already breaking anti records in terms of prices and disbalances of supply – demand. This means that level of uncertainty in all KN activities will also remain high. On the other hand, in the light of abovementioned market disruptions and emerged risks, importance of our infrastructure becomes crucial for the entire region's energy security. Therefore, our short-term mission will shift towards maximisation of capacity availability and assurance of operational continuity for our customers in all our terminals until situation stabilises.

Also, one cannot remain indifferent to everything what is going in Ukraine and to suffering of Ukrainian people. We are with Ukrainian nation with our hearts and minds, and we will contribute with our competences and resources at hand to support them. Ukraine is fighting not only for their freedom and independence, but also for Europe's values and safe future of the region. Therefore, every input from socially responsible businesses – with direct support or encouragement for employees - is much needed and important and we will strive to do our part.

When sailing in a storm, it is important not to concentrate on the distant horizon, but on each of the nearest waves, closely monitoring their direction and height. As well as being able to assess any potential threat or probability of a threat promptly and to make the most appropriate decisions and communicate them to the crew as quickly as possible in a comprehensible form. This is the only way to safely tackle tough and big challenges. This parallel is a good one to reflect the context of KN activities in 2021 and for sure beginning of 2022. I am proud of the entire KN "crew" and our common achievements in 2021 as well as commitment and motivation to face and overcome new challenges, brought by a war in Ukraine.

I also sincerely believe that all storms and wars sooner or later come to an end. I hope, that for the end of 2022 we will finally have an opportunity to lift our eyes back to the peaceful horizon. To focus again on purifying our new

BUSINESS CONTINUITY – OPERATIONS IN, DEPENDENCE ON, OR OTHER EXPOSURE TO RUSSIAN/BELARUSSIAN OR UKRAINIAN ECONOMIES

The management of the Group and the Company has evaluated the potential impact of operations in, dependence on, and other exposure to Russian/Belarussian or Ukrainian economies, and the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as at the date of the issue of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Group and the Company had not been trading with entities in Russia/Belarus and in Ukraine as at 31 December 2021 and no trading activities have been planned for 2022 with entities registered in aforementioned countries. The Group and the Company has no trading relationships with Belarus since February 2021 and no trading relationships with Russian entities. Therefore, no significant impact to the Group's and the Company's accounts receivables as at 31 December 2021 and for the future cashflows.

The Group and the Company do not have material contracts/sales with entities in Russia/Belarus or Ukraine and does not receive key supplies or services from these countries. Still, the Group and the Company could potentially suffer from the increase in commodity prices such as gas and electricity. Furthermore, sanctions imposed on persons from Russia/Belarus could have an indirect effect on the Group's and Company's business.

The Group and the Company do not have significant contracts that may no longer be enforceable (e.g., due to force majeure) in the foreseeable future.

The Group and the Company do not have significant indirect exposure through trade with entities in other countries which may have significant exposure to Russia/Belarus or Ukraine.

On 3 March 2022, the Company announced that acceptance of Novatek's cargo at the Klaipėda LNG terminal is suspended. In Company's view, Gennady Nikolayevich Timchenko, included in the EU sanctions list (EU Council Regulation 2022/336 implementing Regulation No. 269/2014), can be considered a controlling person of the Novatek group under the EU law. According to the available data, Novatek group companies supply LNG cargo to LNG terminal users. The sanctions imposed prohibit entities from engaging in activities the object or effect of which is to circumvent restrictive measures.

Although the Group and the Company do not have contracts with Novatek or its related entities, the Company contacted Klaipėda LNG terminal clients on its own initiative and asked to ensure compliance with the sanctions in their operations. In the absence of information that Klaipėda LNG terminal users are complying with the sanctions in respect of LNG cargoes scheduled to be unloaded at the Klaipėda LNG terminal, acceptance of Novatek's cargo at the Klaipėda LNG terminal is suspended.

As at the date of the issue of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 the Group and the Company have not identified any other links in any way to organisations (including banks) or other individuals targeted for sanctions, or other politically exposed people in the region.

As LNG activity is regulated, sanctions introduced have no impact on payments and liquidity/access to capital for the Group and the Company.

The Group and the Company should not suffer potential material impacts (quantitative or qualitative) of sanctions introduced to Russia/Belarus and sanctioned individuals.

As the Group and the Company operate the Klaipėda LNG terminal, it is stated that organization is in potential scope of malicious activities on the internet because of the importance of infrastructure to Lithuanian gas independence. Management is in charge that appropriate measures should be taken to respond to dynamic change of the situation in cyber space. Government institutions evaluate the readiness of the most important entities for cyber defence and give additional instructions what is the most important to implement and check as well as provide threat intelligence communication channels for preventive cyber defence.

The Group and the Company do not outsource operational business processes (e.g., IT services) to Ukrainian or Russian/Belarussian service providers.

The Company's management has concluded that under current circumstances at the date of financial statements there is no significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY – IMPACT OF COVID – 19

During 2021, Coronavirus COVID-19 and the decisions taken to stop the pandemic continued to complicate the normal operations of industries and maintained a significant level of uncertainty around the world.

As in 2020, in 2021 the worldwide pandemic continued to:

  • Disrupt business operations and economic activity in Lithuania, with a cascading impact on both upstream and downstream supply chains.
  • Significantly disrupt businesses in certain sectors, both within Lithuania and in markets with high dependence on a foreign supply chain as well as export-oriented businesses with high reliance on foreign markets. The affected sectors include trade and transportation, travel and tourism, entertainment, manufacturing, construction, retail, insurance, education and the financial sector.
  • Significantly decrease demand for non-essential goods and services.
  • Increase economic uncertainty, which reflected in more volatile asset prices and currency exchange rates.

The Company continued to notice a negative global and regional impact of COVID-19 during first half of 2021. Starting with the third quarter of 2021, travel restrictions began to decrease which boosted fuel consumption as well as increased the profit margins of oil refineries. All these factors had a positive impact on oil products transhipment in Klaipėda oil terminal during the second half of 2021.

As an outcome of negative impact of COVID-19, impairment allowance for doubtful accounts receivables has reached EUR 2,222 thousand as at 31 December 2020 (EUR 728 thousand as at 31 December 2019). While as at 31 December 2021 allowance for doubtful accounts receivable reduced to EUR 1,511 thousand. The credit limits policy has been revised and respective actions to mitigate credit risk have been taken. The Group and the Company is monitoring the situation since the beginning of the spread of COVID-19 and maintains close communication with major clients on regular basis concerning their plans and fulfilment of contractual obligations.

The Group and the Company on its side have continued their operations as usual - the services provision for the clients of the Group and the Company takes place according to the agreed schedules and plans.

Reacting to the changed environment, the management of the Company has activated business continuity and risk mitigation plan of the Group and the Company already in the first half of 2020, the risk management team has been set up to monitor the situation of the Group and the Company and main partners on a daily basis.

One of the main risks identified at the beginning of the COVID-19 – inability to operate the infrastructure in case of the infection of critical number of its employees - has been managed by introducing remote work and continuously providing employees with information on COVID-19 vaccination, making vaccination available in the Company's medical room, holding virtual meetings with medical professionals. All the Group's and the Company's terminals have continued their operations as usual.

Another source of risk for the Group and the Company lies in the disruption of a supply chain – starting from IT/telecommunications services that are necessary to ensure proper functioning of IT systems and remote work mode and ending to goods and services that are necessary to finalize investment programs on time. The management of the Company is constantly communicating with its suppliers in order to follow their situation and possibilities to fulfil their obligations on time. To mitigate this risk of supply during the future periods, the Group and the Company creates and updates the list of alternative suppliers for critical procurements and puts its best efforts to ensure timely implementation of all Group and Company goals. As at the financial statements issue date, there have been no indications from current suppliers that could have impact to the financial statements of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2021 and as at 31 December 2020.

The management of the Company is carefully monitoring global economic situation and possible long-term financial impact for the Group and the Company. As at 31 December 2021, the Group's and the Company's working capital amounts to EUR 17,425 thousand and EUR 12,388 thousand respectively (as at 31 December 2020 EUR 29,424 thousand and EUR 25,338 thousand respectively), the available Nordic Investment Bank credit facilities amount to EUR 240 million.

Taking into account the high liquidity of the Group and the Company, preventive measures taken, activated business continuity and risks mitigation plans, from a cash flows point of view the Group and the Company are in a secure position to continue their business operations in unfavourable conditions.

The Company's management has concluded that under current circumstances at the date of financial statements there is no significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

KLAIPĖDA LNG TERMINAL

Ensuring long-term operation of Klaipėda LNG terminal

At the end of 2019 Board of KN took necessary decisions regarding implementation of measures for ensuring longterm (until 2044) activities of the Klaipeda LNG Terminal, including principal decision on the FSRU acquisition after 2024. At the end of 2019, Parliament approved state guarantee for Stage I (optimization of LNG security supplement) and Stage II (purchase of FSRU) of the longterm LNG supply project, which enabled AB Klaipėdos nafta to sign agreement with NIB on the loan for the purpose of Stage I. Consequently, security supplement reduction (by almost 40 % since 2020) was proposed to National Energy Regulation Council (NERC). Based on NERC decision security supplement has been reduced and is applicable to all gas consumers starting January 2020.

Loan agreement for Stage II (FSRU acquisition) has been signed with NIB on 2020-03-09. On 2020-11-20 the European Commission (EC) approved the state aid to be provided in the form of state guarantee for the FSRU acquisition loan. By this, principal issues related to FSRU acquisition financing are solved. Preparatory work for FSRU selection and purchase has been started.

In accordance with the Law on LNG Terminal, which provides that LNG activities must be carried out until at least 2044-12-31 and the LNG terminal operator acquires FSRU and becomes an operator no later than 2024-12-31. During 2021, KN, as part of a project of long-term LNG import infrastructure solution, organised intensive discussions with market participants, a market consultation on the procurement documents and launched a public international tender for the acquisition of the FSRU in mid-year. Potential FSRU suppliers actively participated in the preparation of the tender, but after assessing the stated value of the purchase, technological

Infrastructure of the Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal

LNG Terminal of AB Klaipėdos nafta is based on a Floating Storage with Regasification Unit (FSRU) technology. The terminal is connected to the gas transmission network of the natural gas transmission system operator AB Amber Grid by an 18-kilometre connecting gas liquefied natural gas, regasifies, and supplies it to main gas pipeline.

aspects, and other circumstances, decided not to participate in the further stages of the tender. The market research, the market consultations, and the public tender results have clearly shown that the existing purchase option to acquire FSRU "Independence" is the most economically advantageous solution for KN. By December 2022, KN must inform the Norwegian company Höegh LNG of its decision to execute the right of FSRU Independence buy-out option as indicated in the time charter agreement.

In 2021, five users have been using LNG terminal in Klaipeda; one company – from Estonia and four companies – from Lithuania. 72 LNG carriers have arrived at the LNG Terminal and 16.42 TWh of LNG have been regasified and reloaded during 2021. In 2021, Lithuania's natural gas consumption was about 24.26 TWh, of which about 15.11 TWh was served through Klaipėda LNG terminal.

In 2021, utilization of LNG terminals decreased because less LNG was coming to Europe YoY. The average utilization of Klaipeda's LNG terminal was 37% (vs 49% year ago); in comparison, based on data from GIE ALSI, the average European utilization of LNG terminals was 39% (vs 45% year ago).

The LNG Terminal complements and extends the existing natural gas supply infrastructure of the country, creates opportunities for supply diversification, eliminates dependence on the only external natural gas supplier, ensures the security of natural gas supply and fulfils the EU Directive N-1 Infrastructure Standard, i.e., creates preconditions for Lithuania to independently supply itself with the natural gas needed to meet the demand of the first necessity.

LNG TERMINAL IN AÇU PORT IN BRAZIL

In 2020 KN became the operator of liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Açu Port, Brazil. Under the contract concluded with Gas Natural Açu (GNA), a joint venture of Prumo Logistica, BP and Siemens, KN as the operator of the LNG Terminal is responsible for the smooth operation of the LNG Terminal, including the technical and commercial operation of the installation of the quay and its facilities, gas pipeline and gas metering stations. KN established a company KN Açu Serviços de Terminal de GNL Ltda., which is responsible for the execution of this project in Brazil, has gathered a team of local professionals, and has begun the activities in 2020. The contract is concluded for a period of 13 years and can be extended with a mutual agreement.

THE CORPORATE STRATEGY

On 13t February 2020 the Supervisory Council of the Company approved the corporate strategy of KN until 2030, which analysed the Company's business environment factors and established common strategic goals for the entire Group. However, shortly after, the environment, in which the Group operates, began to change significantly starting October 2020, when the EU imposed several packages of sanctions on Belarus. On June 24, 2021, the Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 was introduced, due to which no more transit of oil product flows from Belarus were possible. The Company started to adapt the oil business segment to the changing environment, acting with no Belarus cargoes from the beginning of 2021. Moreover, current worldwide climate is leading to further transformation which should also be reflected in strategic goals.

Due to aforementioned geopolitical circumstances, some of the goals, in particular for the oil business segment of the Group, are no longer relevant and need revision. Accordingly, the Group's management intends to continue a revision of the strategy throughout 2022. Meanwhile, in this annual report we report KN's progress based on the goals laid out in the corporate strategy approved on 13 February 2020.

The mission of the Group and the Company is to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient access to global energy markets by sustainable development, investment, and operation of multi-functional liquid energy terminals worldwide.

Changing energy markets and energy transition also acquired new competencies in management of LNG floating terminal in Klaipėda has led to the major change in the Company's vision and mission. From being local and regional player, providing one type of service, the Company for 2020 - 2030 is targeting to diversify its activities, to expand provided services and be less dependent on one source of income. As a result, the

FSRU AT THE PORT OF AÇU. COURTESY BY GNA

Company will continue to develop four business lines: international LNG projects, oil and refined products handling services, management of Klaipeda LNG floating terminal and small-scale LNG reloading services.

The Company sees the biggest potential for growth and net profit generation in LNG business development and investments into LNG import terminals internationally. AB Klaipėdos nafta believes that floating LNG importbased solutions will account for almost a half of the new regasification capacity in the decade ahead and sees the possibility to achieve that by 2030 the profit from oil product handling services is identical to that from LNG business development projects.

Company's vision for the oil business segment is to expand the range of products that can be handled and increase the operational excellence through investing in environmentally sustainable and more efficient technologies as well as digitization. Increased capacities will enable the Company to meet changing demands and improve quality of services provided.

The strategy of state-regulated Klaipeda LNG terminal activity is to maintain operation after 2024 ensuring longterm access to LNG import for the country and constantly increase flexibility of the usage of the terminal in order to increase the net value for gas consumers.

The growing demand for LNG which is transported by road and ships to the off-grid locations in the Baltics and northern Poland, the growing pressure to reduce global emissions and the promotion of LNG as a cleaner energy source give the LNG distribution station a significant role in the Company's portfolio. AB Klaipėdos nafta together with its strategic partners has an aim to stimulate LNG market creation and to increase share of this much cleaner fuel consumption in marine and heavy transport as well as off-grid industry within a region.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET

OIL TERMINALS' BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND MARKET

The Company's oil products' transhipment activities are mostly affected by:

  • Company's infrastructure (number of jetties, water depth at jetties) and suprastructure for transhipment and storage of oil products (number of tanks, pipelines, trestles, etc.).
  • Oil terminals' economic attractiveness from logistical point of view (both transhipment tariffs and costs of the entire logistic chain).
  • Macroeconomic, geopolitical environment in the regional and global oil refining and trade markets, overall market situation.

Main KN Oil business clients – crude oil refineries and traders operating in the regional and global oil and petroleum product markets. Strategic oil refinery (hereinafter – Refinery) in the region, part of which oil products are transhipped through Company's oil terminals are located in southeast direction - it is

Company's oil terminals activity results in 2021 were affected by geopolitical factors in the region, due to sanctions to Belarus introduced by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 of 24th June 2021 as no more oil product transit flows from Belarus were transhipped nor expected in the future.

It is also important Russia's overall aim to tranship both Belarussian and Russian origin oil and chemical products mainly through its own seaports located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland (St. Petersburg, Primorsk, Ust-Luga), as well as new target to handle petrochemicals, which are currently being handled in Finnish and Baltic ports.

Activities in the regional oil terminals, including KN Oil Terminal, were also affected by the slowdown in the global economy caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a drop in demand for petroleum products and pushing oil refining margins to record lows.

As a result of the above-mentioned negative factors, Estonian and especially Latvian ports lost part of their oil Mažeikiai plant in Lithuania (managed by AB ORLEN Lietuva, hereinafter - Orlen).

Main Company's competitors are oil terminals operating along the eastern coast of the Baltic Sea and those located at Odesa (Ukraine) port.

product flows, making them more active competitors for the Company's oil terminal.

According to the statistical data, in 2021 ports of the eastern Baltic Sea coast transhipped approximately 92.7 million tons of oil products, i.e., 0.9 million tons or 0.97% less compared to the same period in 2020.

In 2021, port of Klaipėda handled about 4.4 million tons of oil products, i.e., 1.4 million tons or 23.6% less than in 2020.

The total amount of oil product transhipment through the Baltic ports in 2018-2021 decreased by 32% and their overall market share decreased by around 3%.

As shown in the chart "Dynamics of oil products transhipment at the eastern Baltic Sea coast ports in 2018 2021" below, Russian's ports share in total eastern Baltic Sea coast oil product transhipment market increased from 75.4% to 78.4%. During last 3 years total transhipment volumes in Russian ports increased by approximately 9.5%.

TRANSHIPMENT OF OIL PRODUCTS

During 2021 Company's Klaipėda and Subačius Oil terminals transshipped 3,651 kt of oil products compared to 5,149 kt in 2020. The transhipment of both terminals for 2021 is 29.1% lower than during 2020. The decrease was a result of the negative global and regional factors mentioned in the section "Oil Terminals' Business Environment And Market". At the same time, almost 2.4 times higher oil product, petrochemical and biofuel import volumes and storage services allowed to mitigate the impact of decreased export volumes.

In 2021 part of Klaipėda Oil terminal's storage tank park was reconstructed (8.5 thousand cubic meters in total) and successfully adapted for bitumen handling and storage. The supply of bitumen to the new tanks started in Q4 of 2021 while in January 2022 the first tanker was loaded with this product.

The handling of oil products through KN Oil terminal's infrastructure has evolved from 8 types of oil products at the beginning of 2021, to 13 different types of oil products, including 3 types of biofuels (FAME, ethanol, biodiesel (HVO), which are today being handled together with bitumen.

In 2021, the terminal's handling of the latter products increased significantly, with as much as 40% more biofuels being handled in 2021 (in comparison to 91.3 kt in 2020).

In 2021 Company's transhipment by auto trucks increased about 15.4% and reached more than 566 thousand tons per year.

In order to further expand the scope of activities and diversify products portfolio in Klaipėda and Subačius Oil terminals, the Company continues to develop business relationships with international and regional market players.

users (one company from Estonia). Starting from the Gas Year 2022 new terminal user From Norway will start to use services of the Terminal.

The need for LNG terminal capacity depends on several key criteria:

  • Joint gas demand of Lithuania and other Baltic States.
  • Pricing offered by competing natural gas supply sources (gas supplied by pipeline) and quantity of gas supplied.
  • Limitations of the Lithuanian natural gas infrastructure (transmission system capacity);
  • Supply of LNG in the global market.
  • LNG prices in the region and worldwide.
  • Duration and terms of gas supply contracts.
  • Availability and freight costs of LNG carriers.

GAS PIPELINES PROJECTS IN THE BALTIC STATES

Energy projects implemented in the Baltic region would enable the development of the LNG market and more efficient use of the available capacity of the LNG terminal. At the beginning of 2022, the GIPL gas transmission pipeline between Lithuania and Poland will increase demand for the LNG terminal.

UPDATE ON KLAIPĖDA LNG TERMINAL CAPACITY ALLOCATION AND TARIFFICATION MODEL

During the first half of 2021 the Company decided to implement changes on Klaipėda LNG terminal capacity allocation and tariffication model by ensuring a possibility for terminal users booking capacity for a long-term period and by applying cost-reflective tariff. In line with potential changes, Swedish company AFRY prepared study on the long-term capacity allocation and tariffication models applicable in LNG terminals in Europe. During few workshops AFRY presented results of the study to stakeholders and had discussions with market participants. Based on the study results, KN is currently updating principles of the LNG terminal capacity allocation and tariffication model. LNG Terminal Regulations will be amended accordingly. Main terms and conditions of the Regulations will be submitted to National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC) and public consultation will be announced. After approval of main terms and conditions of Regulations, long-term capacity allocation procedure will be announced in summer of 2022. Capacity will be allocated for up to 10 years period counting from 2023. 16,4 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021

FINANCIAL RESULTS

KN uses alternative performance measures (APM) in order to provide better understanding of the Group and the Company business operations. Currently, net profit (loss) of the Group and the Company is affected by material non-cash items. Therefore, the adjusted financial indicators are recalculated and presented by eliminating from net profit (loss) the following amounts: (1) the impact of unrealised foreign currency exchange rates (forex) arising from IFRS 16 requirements, (2) respective impact of deferred income tax arising from forex and (3) impact of financial derivatives.

KN's financial results of 2021 and 2020 have mainly been affected by IFRS 16 "Leases" - a new standard which came into effect on 1 January 2019 and by the reduction of LNG security supplement from 1 January 2020 by EUR 26.8 million per annum. These changes have significantly affected KN's statement of financial position, statement of

comprehensive income, and financial indicators. When the standard has become effective, the lease obligations are recognized in the statement of financial position as an asset and a liability (right-of-use assets and a lease liability). As most lease payments are denominated in USD, the negative impact of unrealized USD/EUR exchange rate in amount of EUR 22,073 thousand has been recognized in the statement of comprehensive income in 2021 (in 2020 - EUR 28,765 thousand positive impact). However, it is a non-cash item, which has no impact to the Group's and the Company's actual earnings. The reduction of the LNG security supplement reduced revenue of the Group and the Company for 2021 and 2020 in amount of EUR 26.8 million per annum. The LNG security supplement reduction is financed by NIB loans; therefore, the cash flows of the Group and the Company are not affected.

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT For the financial year ending on 31 December 2021

The main reasons for the decrease of the Group's adjusted net profit (loss) by EUR 58,632 thousand compared to 2020 are - EUR 53,375 thousand lower adjusted net profit from Oil terminals, commercial LNG activities net profit was EUR 1,085 thousand higher, and EUR 6,342 thousand lower adjusted net profit (loss) of regulated LNG activities. For detail explanations see below:

  • Adjusted net profit (loss) of Oil terminals is lower by EUR 53,375 thousand mainly due to a recognized impairment of Klaipėda Oil terminal in amount of EUR 54.2 million and a respective deferred income tax asset impact of EUR 8.1 million. The total impact from recognition of this impairment loss on net profit (loss) amounts to EUR 45.2 million. EUR 10 million lower revenue from oil business segment also contributes to the net loss for 2021. More information concerning impairment of KOT assets can be found in the Note 3 of the Explanatory Notes in the financial statements.
  • The adjusted net profit from commercial LNG activities is EUR 1,085 thousand higher because in the beginning of 2020 the Company has signed a long-term contract with the Polish state gas company PGNiG to reserve capacity of Klaipeda small-scale LNG station for the next 5 years, starting from Q2 2020. Furthermore, on 16 September 2021 Gas Natural Açu (GNA) LNG-to-power project in port of Açu, Brazil has launched commercial operations and KN became an operator of two fully operational LNG terminals worldwide.
  • Adjusted net profit of regulated LNG activities (EUR 323 thousand) is lower by EUR 6,342 thousand due to (i) EUR 2,369 thousand or 162% higher emission

SALES REVENUE

allowances and tax on environmental pollution expenses and (ii) lower revenue - main reasons: (1) LNG security supplement in 2021 has been reduced with the surplus of LNG return from the period 2014- 2019 and repayment of reloading revenue for 2019 in total amount of EUR 2.6 million, (2) EUR 1.9 million lower revenue from fixed part due to lower consumption capacities, (3) LNG security supplement level set by NERC for 2021 is EUR 1.2 million lower compared to 2020, (4) EUR 3.2 million lower revenue from variable part from LNG security supplement, (5) fines for unused capacity in amount of EUR 0.4 million received in 2021 (no such in 2020). Moreover, changes in deferred income tax balance have a EUR 4.7 million positive impact on adjusted net profit of LNGT.

REGULATED PROFIT OF LNG TERMINAL

LNG terminal, its infrastructure and connection implementation as well as exploitation costs fully or partially are included into the natural gas transmission service price in accordance with the rules and guidance's set by NERC based on the regulations set in the Energy Law, Natural Gas Law and other laws of the Republic of Lithuania related with energy prices regulation.

The total level of LNG terminal revenue is confirmed by NERC based on the approved methodology of Government regulated prices in the natural gas sector (hereinafter – Methodology). According to this Methodology, the level of LNG terminal revenue is calculated for upcoming year by summing 2 components: 1) Estimated necessarily costs for the LNG terminal exploitation and operational assurance; 2) Estimated return on investment of LNG terminal infrastructure.

The revenue of the LNG terminal activity comprises of 3 components:

  • Fixed part of LNG regasification service price is approved annually by NERC. This part of the price is included into the additional Security Supplement added to the gas transmission price.
  • Variable part of LNG regasification service price is received for the regasified volume directly from the clients. The regasification tariff is approved annually by NERC.
  • LNG reloading service revenue for reloaded LNG quantity. The tariff of the LNG reloading service is also approved annually by NERC.

Revenue from LNG regasification (variable part) and LNG reloading service revenue are recognized at the moment of providing the services according to the tariffs approved by NERC.

The tariff of LNG Security Supplement is set annually by NERC based on the amount required to be collected (estimated LNG terminal revenue) and proportionally allocated for the forecasted gas consumption capacities. LNG security supplement is paid by the users of natural gas transmission system, including the end users, together with the other payments for the natural gas transmissions services. The payments are collected by the transmission service operator (hereinafter - TSO) either

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT For the financial year ending on 31 December 2021

In 2021 the total amount of commercial LNG activity expenses amounted to EUR 4,941 thousand (2020 – EUR 5,688 thousand) and was lower by EUR 747 thousand mainly due to lower subsidiary's KN Acu Servicos de Terminal activity expenses.

directly from the user or from suppliers of natural gas in case the user has no direct contractual obligations with the TSO.

Actual LNG Security Supplement contributions and payments may differ from planned ones (calculated at the approval of Security Supplement) due to the variation of consumption capacities or other differences.

The differences between the net profit of LNG terminal segment (non-regulated) and the profit of the regulated activity are determined by different calculation principles. Financial accounting is in accordance with IFRS, while the result of regulated activities is calculated in accordance with the methodology approved by NERC.

LNG operating expenses are recognized in the relevant period when they are incurred.

The regulated profit of LNG terminal is calculated by adjusting the determined return on investment by income and expenses not attributable for the regulated activity in terms of regulation (which have an effect on financial results).

During the 1st regulatory period (2014-2019) a surplus has been calculated by NERC after the third and the fifth regulatory years. The surplus after third full regulatory year (2014-2017) has reduced the level of LNG terminal revenue of 2019 and surplus after fifth regulatory year (2014-2019) reduces the level of LNG terminal revenue of 2021. The identified surplus has reduced LNG terminal revenue of 2019 by EUR 787 thousand and revenue of 2021 by EUR 2,589 thousand.

For the 2nd regulatory period (2020-2024) NERC will calculate the surplus of regulated profit after two periods (2020-2021) and will reduce the level of LNG terminal revenue of 2023. However, due to significant net excess income earned in 2020, the Company's LNG terminal revenue of 2022 has already been reduced by EUR 7,105 thousand.

Assess the impact of regulated activities, the Company in management accounting calculates normalized profit. Normalized profit is adjusted for temporary regulatory differences.

IMPACT OF IFRS 16 AND CAPITALISATION OF PURCHASE OPTION

As at 31 December 2019 the Group and the Company has capitalized purchase option under the lease agreement. According to IFRS 16 requirements, lessee should remeasure lease liability of each agreement upon the occurrence of either a significant event or a significant change in circumstances at each financial statements' date. It is the duty of the management to re-evaluate the probability to realise the purchase option at each financial statements' date in the upcoming reporting periods and in circumstances if any changes occur, it has to be reflected in the financial statements respectively. During the year 2020 no significant events and circumstances have occurred that would have the impact and respectively no changes in finance lease accounting under IFRS 16 requirements have been made as at 31 December 2020.

During the year of 2019 the following significant events have happened that determined the need to reassess the probability of realizing the purchase option:

  • On 1st March 2019 amendments of the Republic of Lithuania Law on Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal No XI-2053 Article 5 and 9 (further – the Law) entered into force stipulating obligation to the Company as a Liquefied Natural Gas terminal operator to acquire ownership of FSRU (by selecting the most economic option) not later than by 31st December 2024;
  • On 19th September 2019 European Commission has approved state aid consent regarding LNG security supplement reduction;
  • On 24th October 2019 the Board of the Company has adopted a decision to acquire FSRU no later than by 31 December 2024 with the conditions that 1) loan to

finance the purchase is arranged and 2) Parliament approves the State guarantee for the loan;

  • On 19th December 2019 a binding offer from NIB to finance the 100% purchase price of FSRU (up to 160 MMEUR) has been received;
  • On 19th December 2019 Parliament has approved granting State guarantees for NIB loans for LNG security supplement reduction and purchase of FSRU;
  • On 20th December 2019 a loan agreement with NIB has been signed for the LNG security supplement reduction.

While evaluating the probability to realize the purchase option the management of the Company has considered a number of economic, size and FSRU technological circumstances, which has shown that:

  • Currently used FSRU is economically most favourable when compared to the 1) availability; 2) price factors of the same size and functionality of new and used FSRUs and conversions of LNG carriers and 3) possible additional investments needed for any other FSRU;
  • In terms of size the industry is currently being equipped by modern 170-180 tm3 FSRUs and LNG carriers, enabling to unload to FSRU full cargo of conventional size LNG carriers (140-180 tm3) and not limiting LNG suppliers' interest in using the terminal;
  • Current terminal size and parameters are needed in order to meet N-1 criteria for energy security, i.e. to ensure gas supply in the event of failure of the largest supply infrastructure during highest daily demand;

  • Technologically currently used FSRU has the technology that is still regarded as advanced/not obsolete in comparison with other developments and can easily accept "green gases" and remain functional in the context of the EU "green policy" decisions in a long term;
  • In 2020 implemented dry-dock has confirmed that currently used FSRU is in good condition and is designed to be operative for at least 25 more years.
  • On 20th November 2020 European Commission has approved state aid consent regarding acquisition of LNG floating and storage unit. The decision of the European Commission secures Company's ability to make a withdrawal of funds under the Loan agreement concluded between the Company and Nordic Investment Bank on 9 March 2020.

As at 31 December 2021 the aforementioned conditions are still applicable and have not changed. Moreover:

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT For the financial year ending on 31 December 2021

  • During 2021, KN, as part of a project of longterm LNG import infrastructure solution, organised intensive discussions with market participants, a market consultation on the procurement documents and launched a public international tender for the acquisition of the FSRU in mid-year.
  • In February 2022 the Board of KN has taken a decision on the acquisition of the FSRU Independence at the end of its lease agreement.
  • On 25th of February 2022 Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders has adopted the resolution and approved the decision of the AB Klaipėdos nafta Board to acquire the floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) Independence.

Therefore, from the current point of view, the management of the Company is reasonably certain that the purchase option of lease contract will be realized. As a result, no changes in purchase option accounting as at 31 December 2021 have been made.

ACTIVITY PLANS AND FORECASTS

On 13th February 2020 the Supervisory Council of the Company has approved corporate strategy of KN until 2030. The main directions of the strategy are international LNG projects, strengthening the competitiveness of oil terminals and developing Klaipėda as an LNG service centre in the Baltic region. KN corporate strategy until 2030 is available at: 2030.kn.lt/en.

For the Group and the Company year 2021 presented many challenges. Due to sanctions to Belarus introduced by Council Regulations (EU) 2021/1030 on June 24th , 2021, no more transit of oil product flows from Belarus were possible. Transhipment of Belarusian oil products has stopped in February 2021; therefore, no Belarus cargo is forecasted for the future. Subsequently the Management of the Group and the Company has revised the projections of future cash flows of Klaipėda Oil Terminal and recognised impairment of KOT assets in amount of EUR 54,2 million.

A decrease in transhipment of oil products from Belarus is partially compensated by oil products' storage services, the demand for which has remained stable during 2021. The management of the Group and the Company anticipates a continuity of demand for the lease of oil terminal tanks for medium and long-term storage of products. Several contracts for such services, including contracts for the lease of petrol tanks, which will allow the Group and the Company to employ infrastructure used for transhipment of oil products from Belarus, are already concluded. The management of the Group and the Company see this as a stable alternative to the handling of oil products.

Reacting to the decrease in transhipment of oil products, the Company has reviewed its investment plans for 2021 and 2022, deferring investments that are not related to business continuity. Furthermore, the revision of longterm corporate strategy has been initiated and will be completed during 2022. The Company undertakes projects related to cost reduction and operational efficiency and will continue its main focus on diversifying the portfolio of services and products in oil terminals activities and activities in international LNG projects.

In light of the events of 2021, the aforementioned goals set in the corporate strategy 2030 are as important as never before and have proven to be the right ones. However, the Company will have to transform its activities faster than it has been expected in the initial strategy assumptions (for more details on the strategic goals please see the section "the corporate strategy" of the 2021 annual report). The Group and the Company aims at having several equivalent activities that contribute to the return for the shareholders, thus reducing the potential short-term negative impacts on one or another business segments. Therefore, innovations and exploring new business opportunities, diversification of business activities are high on the agenda for 2022, as well as environmental, social and governance aspects of business management.

EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND ANNUAL BONUS ALLOCATION

The Company has implemented the procedures for annual employee performance evaluation and annual bonus allocation. These bonuses depend on the achievement of the goals set directly for the person, service director or for the Company. Annual employee performance review together with periodic and frequent one to one meetings throughout the year are one of the most effective management and leadership techniques that increase employee engagement and help to achieve the organizational goals. Such practice creates collaborative and positive relationships between managers and their subordinates that allow to make it clear with employees while planning their careers, increasing their motivation, and promoting continuous improvement in their professional field.

Employees of all categories - workers, specialists, and managers - are assessed and rewarded annual bonus for achieving pre-set annual goals (WHAT) and evaluation on

their compliance to Company's values (HOW). In 2020 implementation of Asaichi methodology being one of the three LEAN tools initiated in the Company brought even better performance management when KPIs have been reviewed and actioned with personal accountability daily.

EMPLOYEE SELECTION AND RECRUITMENT

Since April 2020 the Company implemented Employee Selection and Recruitment procedure whose purpose is to standardize the employee selection process and ensure efficient and effective procedures for organizing the selection of KN personnel (employees and trainees) in order to successfully achieve the objectives of KN - to select employees who recognize the values of KN and have the greatest potential to achieve the objectives set for them.

In order to ensure that the objectives set out in KN's strategy are met, an assessment and planning of staffing

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AND ENGAGEMENT

This indicator exceeds average result of Lithuania organizations employee satisfaction of satisfaction with the work (59%).

PRINCIPLES OF EMPLOYEE COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT

KN education system is designed to promote the development of employees both independently and through the learning processes of strategically important knowledge and skills that are part of the curricula. All employees are given the opportunity to participate in the programs. The implementation of KN education system is based on 6 principles: link with business strategy, cooperation between departments, identification of needs based on assessment of employees' competencies, measurement of learning effectiveness, integration of education with other processes and selection of appropriate educational tools.

Up to 15% of annual learning and development budget is allocated to fund employees with various formal studies at different Universities.

needs is carried out. Each year management of the Company draws up a staffing plan for the upcoming year. The plan takes into account the workload of staff, the need for new posts (due to organizational changes or legal requirements), staff mobility (transition from one staff post to another) and natural change (retirement, parental leave, etc). The main steps of the recruitment process include the evaluation of need for employee, determination of required competencies, search and attraction of potential candidates, job interviews, final decision, and preparation of the offer.

The Company is measuring the level of engagement as it believes that colleagues who are engaged in their job, are more likely to do it easier, feel happier, are more innovative and accordingly generate greater returns to shareholders by effectively implementing corporate strategy and achieving the goals. Engagement level went down (from 75% to 69%) and returned to the same level as in 2019. The result of KN still exceeds the average level of work engagement in Lithuanian organizations (63%) in 2021 and the same time indicates that reduction of employees and other organizational challenges during the year did have the effect on employee engagement.

For the last three years Company conducts 360-degree feedback study for managers. Following the method, KN Managers receive feedback on their behaviour according to the Company's values and leadership competencies from people who work with them. Based on survey results Managers create their Personal development plans and thus grow to be even better leaders for their teams. In 2021 the Company launched internal Mentoring Program, which aims to find competencies within the company and share them with those who need them. 17 pairs were formed, which worked according to the proposed model for several months - setting goals, looking for ways to achieve them and measuring progress together.

GROUP'S SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

From the perspective of KN, to be a successful and responsible member of the society in the long-term perspective, the principles of business sustainability shall go hand in hand with the way we operate. Every organisation can create both positive and negative impacts through its activities, and we aim to be a model of a business that creates a positive impact.

Stakeholder dialogue is one of our principles of open and responsible operation, which enables us to identify the key issues that matter to the stakeholders. KN is guided by the Stakeholder Policy adopted by the Company in 2021, which is published transparently on KN's website. The Company's activities, including stakeholder relations, are guided by the highest standards of good governance practices. Our main stakeholders are: employees, shareholders, business partners, customers, communities and society in general, decision-makers at national and regional level. Topics relevant to our target groups include the safety of our operations, economic impact, environmental performance improvement and good corporate governance practices.

The Company's activities aim at environmental and social awareness and the application of good governance. In this context, KN considers social responsibility and sustainability as key aspects of its operations and develops its business in accordance with these guidelines:

  • Economic Responsibility,
  • Transparent and ethical business practices,
  • Attractive employer,
  • Sustainable partnership with customers,
  • Reducing and preventing the Company's environmental impact.

As a Company, which is important not only for Klaipėda and Kupiškis districts, but also nationally in terms of its activities and size, we can use our influence to contribute to different aspects of social responsibility - not only by promoting dialogue with communities in Klaipėda, but also by contributing to the promotion of the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a cleaner fossil-fuel alternative, and by getting involved in education and science, healthy lifestyle, environmental initiatives inside and outside the organisation.

The areas of impact of KN have so far been determined by the nature of the Company's activities and long-term strategy, business risks and opportunities. In addition, in Q4 2021 and Q1 2022, KN has initiated a materiality assessment, which includes KN stakeholders. This analysis is expected to be finalised in Q1 2022 and it is expected that the results will provide valuable insights for the Company on the further development of its sustainability directions and sustainability policy.

ECONOMIC RESPONSIBILITY

KN is a company of strategic importance for the energy security of Lithuania and the surrounding region, ensuring the ability to import oil and liquefied natural gas to Lithuania and neighbouring countries, keeping the storage of the mandatory reserve of petroleum products of the Republic of Lithuania, and the reliable and efficient transhipment of petroleum products at the port of Klaipėda. The Company is also responsible for the operation and maintenance of the LNG terminal at the Port of Açu in Brazil, which supplies natural gas and electricity to the Brazilian market. We understand the direct and indirect role of our activities through taxation, employment policies, educational initiatives, business innovation and other contributions to sustainable economic growth in the regions where we operate.

Given the strategic function of the Company, KN has the objective to enhance shareholder value and represent best business practices. The Company continuously strengthens its corporate governance competencies and implements the highest governance standards and principles to create tangible benefits for the country and its people. The Company is consistently listed as a major taxpayer. Despite the global pandemic and geopolitical challenges, according to the Lithuanian State Tax Inspectorate, in 2021, KN retained its 4th position among the 500 hundred other companies.

In 2021, KN was also recognised as one of the 10 best investor relations companies listed on Nasdaq Baltic. The Nasdaq Baltic Awards assess companies' excellence in transparency, corporate governance, and investor relations.

KN supports free and fair competition in the market, while striving to provide the highest quality commercial solutions to its clients. The Company's good governance practices have been reinforced by the major overhaul in 2021 of a key good practice tool for preventing irregularities and promoting transparency - the "Report/Speak - up" reporting channel. Following the implementation of the changes, the reporting channel is curated by Internal Audit, which is functionally subordinate to the Audit Committee and administratively subordinate to KN CEO. The change was initiated in order to comply with the best practices, to increase transparency, to promote awareness among KN staff and third parties and to promote intolerance of noncompliance with the Code of Conduct or any form of corruption that may negatively affect or damage the reputation and image of KN. The change is expected to further facilitate anonymous reporting of illegal and unethical practices, while ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the persons submitting the reports.

The Company does not tolerate corruption of any kind or its manifestations and is committed to open competition, ethical business conditions and adequate transparency and publicity in its operations. The Group is guided by a policy of zero corruption tolerance. It explicitly and publicly declares its rejection of bribery, fraud, extortion, the creation of unofficial accounts, the execution of unofficial and improperly documented transactions, the recording of fictitious expenses, the use of false documents and other forms of corruption as referred to in the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.

The Company has control mechanisms in place that are designed to identify, assess, and monitor potential corruption risk factors. In assessing corruption risks, KN analyses the activities and processes of each business segment, compiling a list of corruption risks.

Once a year, KN carries out an assessment of the likelihood of corruption occurrence. In 2021, the Company's preparation of technical specifications for the procurement procedures was analysed to assess the likelihood of corruption occurrence. Corruption risk is also assessed in the development of international projects, looking at both external and internal factors, as well as the level of corruption risk in the country. Additional control measures include due diligence procedures for business partners, anti-corruption clauses in contracts, application of KN's anti-corruption policy and Code of Conduct in subsidiaries and in relations with business partners.

In 2021, KN provided anti-corruption training to KN employees on potential conflicts of interest and their management, the concept and manifestation of corruption in Lithuania, corruption risks in public procurement. In 2021, 3 internal trainings and 2 external trainings were organised for 152 employees. In 2021, there were no cases of corruption in the Company.

KN is also involved in the Transparency Academy initiative initiated by the Office of the President of the Republic of Lithuania. The aim of the Academy is to encourage companies to share best practices in the area of corruption prevention and to receive expert insights and practical advice.

RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS EMPLOYEES

The main asset of KN is its employees, who are the most important link in achieving the Company's objectives. They are at the heart of our technology activities. The Company's HR policy is focused on fostering teamwork and unity, continuous progress, optimal use of human resources, strengthening employee competencies and developing an engaged culture that creates greater added value and enables personal and Company growth.

We promote employee diversity and an inclusive working environment. Achieving long-term success requires diverse ideas, perspectives, and talents, and we support diversity as an important asset and a key resource for

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT For the financial year ending on 31 December 2021

innovation and competitiveness, enabling each of us to fully participate and contribute to the success of KN and to help ensure that the business operates efficiently and takes advantage of the right growth opportunities. The Company evaluates, promotes, and compensates based on qualifications, experience, competencies, and performance, not on bias or personal preference. We reject all forms of discrimination.

We are guided by the values of KN and adhere to the principles of respect, cooperation, professionalism, and progress. Our values guide how we operate anywhere in the world and what we expect from ourselves, our colleagues, our customers, our management, and other key stakeholders.

We foster an environment where every employee is treated equally, respected, and empowered to reach their potential.

The Company's remuneration system is based on a work structure developed using the Hay methodology and by comparing salary values with foreign-capital companies in the Lithuanian market, to ensure that every KN employee is rewarded fairly and competitively. The Company's objective is to ensure the competitiveness of the employees' remuneration in the market, internal fairness of remuneration and to eliminate the possibility of discrimination on any grounds (age, gender, etc.).

The Company provides a working environment that meets strict standards of safety and well-being. As a terminal operator, KN provides and maintains a health and safety management system aimed at ensuring safety performance based on legislation and industry best practice, with clear commitments, targets, and responsibilities. The Company's objective is to create an environment in which occupational health and safety risks are controlled to prevent injuries, accidents, and occupational diseases, and to identify, assess and control risks arising from unsafe conditions, occupational injuries and illnesses related to work processes or the working environment. It also focuses on educating workers so that they better understand their role in reducing negative environmental impacts and so that the health and safety of themselves and others is the highest value of every worker.

In 2020, KN got certified for ISO 45001:2018 standard for all terminal activities in Lithuania, including international business development, and an audit in 2021 confirmed existing and new achievements. The ongoing certification process of KN Açu terminal operations for ISO 45001:2018 is scheduled to be completed in Q2 2022.

One of the Company's key strategic objectives is the continuous improvement of the safety and health system by ensuring compliance and enhancing the safety culture to achieve a rate of 0 significant safety incidents and accidents. In 2021 KN has established clearly measurable indicators to monitor safety and health, which are process

safety incident, LTIR - frequency of workplace accidents, and IR - frequency of near misses or potential safety incidents. The above indicators are relative indicators of OSH performance and by using these indicators the Company can benchmark its OSH performance against other companies both in Lithuania and worldwide.

Accordingly, in 2021, a strong focus was placed on the importance of a safe and healthy working environment, fostering a culture of occupational safety and health, and enhancing employees' awareness of the need to protect themselves and to comply with safe working requirements. The Company has placed great emphasis on the recording of near misses, which is a widely used accident prevention system in the global practice. In 2021, the Company succeeded in achieving the target set for the frequency of near misses and near misses. Also in 2021, the Company had no critical incidents.

In 2021, KN focused on promoting the well-being and wellness of its employees, with a particular focus on the importance of movement, which was significantly reduced during the pandemic period:

  • From 11 March 2021 to 09 May 2021, the Company ran an activity challenge called "KN Moves!", which encouraged employees to collect kilometres by walking or running. 44 colleagues took part in the challenge and together they walked 7,827.9 kilometres between 11 March and 9 May.
  • In 2021, two virtual meetings were held with one of Lithuania's leading sports scientists, Albert Skurvydas, PhD in Biology, who shared his scientific and practical experience and the importance of movement with KN employees.
  • On the occasion of the European Mobility Week from 16 to 22 September, KN encouraged sustainable transport choices among its employees. KN employees were encouraged to go car-free for at least one day and to find other means of transport to get to work, such as walking, public transport, cycling, scooters or roller skating.
  • Also, in 2021, KN colleagues in Lithuania and Brazil were invited to take part in a study on fatigue, carried out by professional researchers from the "Pozityvios sveikatos komanda" (Positive Health Team). The researchers measured different forms of fatigue, including general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation and mental fatigue. The results were presented to employees and later tips on how to overcome fatigue were shared.

Additional health precautions are in place for employees who are unable to work remotely, and appropriate health safety practices are in place at the Company's terminals. All measures are regularly reviewed and updated.

The Company has consistently provided employees with information on COVID-19 vaccination in 2021, made vaccination available in the Company's medical room, and expanded employees' knowledge by holding two virtual meetings with medical professionals in 2021 to provide up-to-date information on the vaccination and to answer the most frequently asked questions. In 2022, KN is among the organisations with more than 90% of their employees immunised against coronavirus.

In 2021, the Company initiated internal training sessions to strengthen psychological and emotional resilience of its employees. This has contributed to the psychological and emotional safety of employees in the workplace. Psychological safety in the Company was rated high at 71 out of 100 in the annual engagement survey. In the survey, employees revealed that one of the most rewarding aspects of the Company is the good working atmosphere.

KN is proud to be among the top 5 employers in Lithuania in 2021. The ranking is compiled annually by the newspaper Verslo žinios. Among transport and logistics companies, KN ranked first.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As part of our international operations, we strive for sustainability and take social and environmental responsibility. We work to maintain strong and longlasting relationships with the local communities where KN operates and strive to be a good business partner through our business initiatives.

KN has been engaging in a dialogue with neighbouring communities for a number of years. In 2021, a total of five meetings were held to discuss topics of interest to the communities and to answer questions from community representatives.

In 2021, KN's social activities focused on educational initiatives, not only by presenting the Company's activities, but also by getting young people interested in science and engineering professions. During the year, KN was involved in six educational initiatives:

  • In February 2021, in a virtual lecture to the students of the Klaipėda Žemynos Gymnasium, a representative of KN's HR department gave a presentation on how to prepare and perform well in a job interview and advised on how to prepare a professional curriculum vitae (CV).
  • In March 2021, KN Chief Operations Officer took part in a remote event initiated by Klaipėda ID on

engineering specialities "Engineering and Creativity. What is the connection?" The aim of the event, which was attended by pupils from various schools in Klaipėda, was to introduce the field of engineering and to encourage young people to think about choosing an engineering specialty.

  • During March-June 2021, KN participated in the pilot project "Research works of students in business enterprises", which was initiated by the public enterprise "Klaipėda ID", the aim of which was to contribute to the vocational guidance of pupils, to introduce them to the advanced enterprises operating in the region and to inform them about career opportunities in Klaipėda region. A laboratory technician from KN Wastewater Unit helped a student from Klaipėda's Ąžuolynas Gymnasium to carry out a research project.
  • During March-July 2021, KN was involved in a series of experiential activities at Klaipėda University (KU) to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the University. The Company contributed to the university's anniversary events by inviting people to experience the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal. In addition to registering for the experience, candidates had to send cover letters and justify why they should be invited to the "Learn how natural gas is supplied from LNG terminal" experience. The selected participants were: a student from the Lithuanian Maritime University majoring in nautical science and a tour guide working with groups of foreigners.
  • In 2021, KN also took part in the thirteenth year of the project "Schoolchildren - to the Government", which aims to give the best final year students a firsthand insight into the activities of the Government and its institutions, to encourage young people to take part in the country's governance processes, and to contribute to the formation of civil society. Participants of the "Students to Government" project took part in a virtual meeting with the Chief Administrative and Corporate Governance Officer of KN and the LNG Terminal Operations Manager. KN colleagues introduced the pupils to the activities of our Company and talked about KN-operated LNG terminal.
  • In November 2021 a student excursion to the Klaipėda Oil Terminal was organised by the Lithuanian Maritime School (LAJM). The students were introduced to the processes and technologies at the heavy fuel oil terminal.

As in previous years, in 2021 the Company continued its tradition of not giving regular Christmas gifts to the customers and partners, and instead used the planned funds to improve the environment of the community of Vite, situated near the Klaipėda Oil Terminal, by planting trees in their neighbourhood.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

The Company's objective is to avoid, mitigate and manage the environmental and social impacts of our activities. We strive to be a good neighbour and member of society and to look after the interests of the communities directly or indirectly affected by the Company's activities. We feel responsible for our ecological footprint, and we strive to minimise the Company's potential negative environmental impacts.

Environmental protection is one of the priority areas of KN's corporate social responsibility. Both in the routine operations of existing oil and LNG terminals and in the planning of new activities, KN complies with the basic principles of environmental protection set out in the National Environmental Strategy, the conditions set out in the environmental permits, and the norms set out in the environmental regulations and standards.

The Company aims to be socially responsible in a resultoriented rather than a declarative manner. In view of the global concern about climate change, the Company feels responsible for its ecological footprint and therefore aims to balance the Company's impact on the environment through clearly defined indicators. In 2021, KN has clearly defined environmental targets to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by 35% by 2024 and 45% by 2030 compared to the current period. We have also set ourselves clear targets to reduce the direct CO2 emissions from Klaipėda Oil Terminal's operations by increasing energy efficiency through rational use of energy resources. The aim is to reduce these emissions by 20% by 2024 and by 50% by 2030. We are doing our utmost to ensure that the environmental impact is measured and controlled.

One of KN's strategic objectives is to ensure that KN terminals operate in an environmentally sustainable manner and are fully compliant with environmental requirements. The company has clearly identified the significant environmental aspects, their impact on the environment, control, and management measures. KN strives to improve its environmental performance by continuously monitoring the environmental impact of its activities and by aiming at pollution prevention, waste minimisation, water and energy efficiency, and efficient use of raw materials.

We are proactive in monitoring our impact on environmental quality, assessing our impact on the environment, and not just seeking to meet norms or requirements. KN regularly monitors air pollution from stationary sources and the quality of wastewater discharged into the natural environment. The data collected is available on the Company's website.

The public can obtain real-time information on loading operations in real time by calling a dedicated line, available on Company's website.

The Company is constantly looking for new technical solutions to reduce waste emissions, introducing them and carrying out regular testing and maintenance.

As of 2018 KN is implementing an Environmental Action Plan, which sets out measures and a commitment to continue to operate sustainably and ensure the highest environmental standards. Once fully implemented, the action plan will contribute to the reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, ensuring minimal emissions to the environment and more efficient neutralisation of VOCs.

As part of this plan, in 2021 KN has implemented environmental projects such as the modernisation of the burners of the boiler house, which is expected to reduce the one-off emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides to ambient air by 3 times. A new air pollutant treatment plant has also been commissioned to treat pollutants collected from 16 tanks and a railway loading rack. The main purpose of this treatment plant is to reduce odours, and thus emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), from the loading and storage of heavy oil products. At the same time, efforts are being made to continue looking for the solutions to further reduce emissions of VOCs to the environment. A draft Environmental Action Plan 2022-2030 has also been prepared, which includes measures to reduce further the potential negative environmental impacts of the activities of the Company.

In 2020, KN's environmental management system got certified for ISO 14001:2015 standard, which was confirmed by an audit in 2021.

KN is actively involved in the debate on the future of fossil fuels and the transition to a more climate neutral economy. LNG offers an opportunity to move away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable forms of energy, including hydrogen, which is why KN has joined the Lithuanian Hydrogen Platform and the Lithuanian Shipowners' Association.

We support and promote the use and development of environmentally friendly technologies, products and services to contribute to sustainable development - like hydrogen, also potential of technologies like carbon capture. KN, Larvik shipping (LS) and Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (MOL) have launched a feasibility study to develop liquefied CO2 loading facilities that could be implemented using the existing KN infrastructure in Klaipėda. For this purpose, the entire concept shall be to develop a CO2 logistics and value chain from Lithuania and potentially Baltic region with Klaipeda seaport at the centre.

In 2021, KN initiated a roundtable discussion on "Clean air in Klaipėda: what can we do today to improve its quality tomorrow". The aim was to stimulate dialogue between authorities responsible for air quality monitoring and control, experts, and businesses, to share knowledge and best practices, to promote cooperation and to contribute to improving air quality. Constructive dialogue, experience sharing and cooperation with other industrial and port companies in the city are beneficial as we all share the common goal of minimising the impact of our activities on the lives of citizens.

KN Group's full Corporate Social Responsibility Report for 2021, prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, will be published on www.kn.lt and on the Nasdaq Vilnius platforms on the date scheduled in the Investor Calendar.

RISK FACTORS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's Board has approved Risk Management Policy that regulates risk management, defines risk management principles and responsibilities, functions and responsibilities of the Chief Risk Officer as well as sets risk appetite and tolerance limits. The risk management system is developed in accordance with the ISO 31000 guidelines. The list of principal risks and the risk management plan are provided to and approved by the Company's Board each quarter. The Board actively participates in the principal risk management process by continuously monitoring the risk level changes and the risk management measures' action plans. The Company's high-level management is responsible for shaping the personnel's attitude towards risk management, setting the risk management goals in the managed area, implementation of the control measures, implementation and monitoring the efficiency of the risk management measures. The medium level managers are responsible for implementation of the risk management process and provision of the results, as well as for reliability, correctness, and impartiality of information.

The Audit Committee reviews financial reporting process as well as audit execution process and oversees internal control environment, risk management and internal audit framework.

Primary risk categories that the Group and the Company are exposed to while conducting business:

  • Business risk. It is a risk category that is generally related with the environment where the Group and the Company operate and has an impact on financial results: competitiveness of the Group and the Company comparing with other players in the market of oil products transhipment, economic viability of the key customers of the Group and the Company, political and economic environment in the neighbouring countries, changes in legal regulation of the LNG related activities etc.
  • Operational risk is probably the widest risk category covering potential loss resulting from inadequate or failed procedures, systems or policies, employee errors, systems failures, fraud, or other criminal activity, as well as any event that disrupts business processes.
  • Reputational risk. It is a risk mostly related with the decisions of the Group and the Company and behaviour of the employees.
  • Project risks. The Company is engaged in several large investment projects; therefore, effective risk management throughout the whole lifecycle is critical when achieving goals.

COMMENTS ON THE RISK CATEGORIES OF THE GROUP AND THE COMPANY ARE PROVIDED BELOW:

Business risk

The Company works with several big clients in the area of oil products transhipment. The main client of the Company is AB ORLEN Lietuva. The Company has signed a long-term transhipment agreement with ORLEN Lietuva and guarantees stable flows of oil products from the client.

The Company continuously looks for other potential clients, flows of shipments and alternative activities. Also, the Company reviews existing expenses and constantly searches for costs optimization possibilities. In 2021, the Company increased total transhipment of biofuels segment cargo by approx. 40% compared to 2020. In 2021, Company's transhipment by auto trucks increased about 15.4% compared to 2020 and reached more than 500 tons per year.

The Company is striving to manage its business risks by diversifying its income sources and widening the range of services, communicating and cooperating with potential clients, who are interested in blending services, storage and transhipment of petrochemical products such as monoethylene glycol, ethanol, methanol and loading of new product bitumen. The main factors of the Company's business environment:

  • The increase of vacant tanks volumes supplies in the beginning of the year intensified competition in oil products storage (especially dark heated) market, which remained intense throughout the first half of the year.
  • Part of the vacant capacity of Klaipėda Oil Terminal was rented for petrol storage until the end of 2021 Q2. Cooperation with the customer has been extended by concluding a new contract - for the storage of fuel oil, at the same time almost doubling the storage volume.
  • Travel restrictions in European countries which were imposed due to COVID-19 pandemic began to decrease and boosted fuel consumptions up to the same level as seen in 2019 as well as increased the profit margins of oil refineries during Q3 2021. All these factors had a positive impact on oil products transhipment in Klaipėda oil terminal.
  • Loading of new product bitumen was started at the end of 2021.

The Company is striving to manage its business risks by diversifying its income sources and widening the range of services it provides: the Company operates liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, consults and participates in

www.kn.lt | 127

international investment projects related with the development of LNG terminals, provides small-scale LNG services to clients:

  • KN is the operator of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the Brazilian port of Açu. KN, as the operator of the LNG terminal, is responsible for the operations of the LNG terminal, which includes the technical and logistical operations of the jetty and its facilities, gas pipeline and gas metering stations. The most focus is to ensure demands of the clients, so for these reasons, regular meetings are organised to strengthen the weak areas of the project.
  • The Law on LNG Terminal provides that LNG activities must be carried out until at least 31/12/2044 and the LNG terminal operator acquires FSRU and becomes an operator no later than 31/12/2024. During 2021, KN, as part of a project of long-term LNG import infrastructure solution, organised intensive discussions with market participants, arranged market consultation on the procurement documents and launched the public international tender for the acquisition of the FSRU in mid-year. Potential FSRU suppliers actively participated in the preparation phase of the tender, however after assessing the stated budget of the purchase, technological aspects, and other circumstances, decided not to participate in the further stages of the tender. The market research, the market consultations, and the public tender results have clearly shown that the existing purchase option to acquire FSRU "Independence" is the most economically advantageous solution for KN. By December 2022, the KN must inform the Norwegian company Höegh LNG of its decision to execute the right of FSRU Independence buy-out option as indicated in the time charter agreement.
  • During the first half of 2021, the Swedish company AFRY prepared study on the long-term capacity allocation and tariffication models applicable in LNG terminals in Europe. During few workshops AFRY presented results of the study to stakeholders and had discussions with market participants. Based on the study results, KN currently is updating principles of the LNG terminal capacity allocation and tariffication model. LNG Terminal Regulations will be amended accordingly. Main terms and conditions of the Regulations will be submitted to National Energy Regulatory Council (NERC) and public consultation will be announced. After approval of main terms and conditions of Regulations, long-term capacity allocation procedure will be announced in summer of 2022. Capacity will be allocated for up to 10 years period counting from 2023.

Operational risk

Operational risk is considered as risk directly related to the increase of losses, caused by the external factors (for

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT For the financial year ending on 31 December 2021

example, natural disasters, illegal acts of the third parties, etc.) or internal factors (for example, ineffective activity and management, improper and inefficient utilization of funds, internal control deficiencies, ineffective procedures, human error, malfunctions of information systems, cyber security control gaps, unduly allocation of functions or responsibilities, etc.).

During 2020 political risk materialized, and one of the largest clients BNK (UK) Limited, which belongs to the largest exporters of Belarusian oil products - ZAT Belaruskaja neftenaja kampanija, announced a temporary suspension of transhipment. Moreover, starting from 24th June 2021, sanctions to Belarus were introduced by Council Regulation (EU) 2021/1030 - no more transit of oil product flows from Belarus are possible and are not expected in the future. Due to these external operational risks, KN will have to implement long-term strategic decisions to adapt to new geopolitical circumstances. Consequently, a revision of long-term corporate strategy has been initiated and will be completed during 2022.

To manage internal operational risk, the Company implemented required organizational measures and procedures as well as information systems to be used for support of business processes that collectively ensure proper functioning of internal control system and duly cooperation with the third parties concerned. The Company applies the following means of internal control: separation of decision making and controlling functions, control of transactions and accountancy, limitation of decision-making powers and control of their execution, collegial decision making in crucial issues, etc.

Internal operational risk management is significantly influenced by the standards, which are implemented and maintained in the Company - Quality ISO 9001:2015, Environmental Protection ISO 14001:2015, Occupational Health and Safety ISO 45001:2018. These standards impose requirements for the control of processes according to the most significant risks and management system audits, which ensure that the described controls and processes operate in practice. The Company strives to minimize legal compliance risk and assure that its operations are compliant with the applicable legal requirements and standards. Infrastructure, as well as management and safety processes, cooperation with the third parties and control system has been positively evaluated by the representatives of potential clients of the terminals.

In order to manage better operational risks, KN has established a compliance function, which is controlled by compliance of risk assessment.

Reputational risk

The Company cherishes its reputation and good name and employs risk mitigation means. KN culture is based on Company's values - respect, cooperation, professionalism, and improvement, which are the basis for

our decisions and actions with customers, employees, shareholders, and other stakeholders. The Company strives to ensure good employee experience through the entire journey with KN (from the attraction stage to the exit one). Each candidate is treated as a potential ambassador of the Company; therefore, communication is led as with a future client or partner. In 2021, KN had a special acknowledgment – the Company was among the top five of the best employers.

The Company continuously invests in professional development of employees in order to ensure business continuity and good reputation. Accordingly, employees are provided with training that allows to fulfil Company needs, succession is planned, which helps to ensure business continuity and develops the competencies of employees.

The Company fosters a value-based culture and has been electing employees of the quarter on a quarterly basis for many years. In 2021 KN began to collect the Hero of the Quarter. The "employee of the quarter" nomination is awarded for outstanding quarterly achievements in the Company and personal qualities, behavioural characteristics, thanks to which colleagues manage to achieve excellent results as well as for initiatives that create benefits for the business, employees, clients, and implementation of KN values in daily work. At the time of the nomination of a colleague for the nomination of "Quarterly Hero of Values", colleagues are asked to record what this colleague is grateful for and thus promote values-based behaviour and strengthen the sense of gratitude in the Company, which directly influences the work atmosphere and employee productivity. As in 2020, in 2021 the Company did not miss a chance and arranged number of interactive learning sessions – Dialogue of Values for employees in Subacius Oil Terminal. Colleagues took part in the discussions how they should behave in different situations according to KN values. Such initiatives, as well as additional internal training sessions to strengthen psychological and emotional resilience, have helped to ensure that employee behaviour is in line with the values and Code of Conduct of KN, which was updated in January 2021 and make employees feel psychologically and emotionally safe in the workplace. Psychological safety in the company was rated high at 71% out of 100 during the annual Employee engagement survey in 2021. The survey revealed that one of the most gratifying aspects of the Company is a good work atmosphere.

The Company pays substantial attention to minimizing corruption risk and implements relevant internal processes. During 2021, KN was involved in the project "Skaidrumo Akademija", which was initiated by the President of the Republic of Lithuania (organiser – Special Investigation Service of the Republic of Lithuania). The aim of participating in this project is to introduce additional and improved existing measures to prevent corruption in KN.

One of the instruments for the prevention of infringements is the Whistleblowing channel, which is open for all natural persons and legal entities: both existing and former KN employees, former and potential KN clients, contractors, suppliers, and community. During 2021, the coordination of the Whistleblowing channel was transferred to the Internal Audit, which is functionally subordinate to the Audit Committee and administratively to the Company CEO. It also provides possibility to inform directly the collegial managing bodies of KN. Additionally, these changes contributed to enhanced confidentiality of the Whistleblowing channel.

The Company pays special attention to the stakeholders. It openly provides information to the institutions, public organizations and the general society, and has been focusing on strengthening relations with communities for years. In 2021, the Company continued to engage actively with representatives of neighbouring communities, holding meetings to present the progress of the ongoing Environmental Action Plan and to respond to relevant questions of concern to communities. KN also openly shares environmental data with the public – KN website provides environmental monitoring data of Klaipeda Oil Terminal, information on the progress of the environmental action plan. With a consistent focus on the environment and open dialogue with communities, KN has achieved a steady annual decline in requests from communities and institutions on environmental issues, with 12 requests received in 2021, compared to 18 a year ago.

The Company is also involved in educational initiatives, such as hosting company tours at KN Oil terminal for students and pupils, presenting its operations and providing knowledge related to petroleum products, logistics, laboratory work, etc.

Project risk

Investment project management is an important part of the Company's business. In order to effectively manage projects, the implementation of the project management methodology and project monitoring was initiated according to the PRINCE2 standard. During 2021, the Company has finished tanks reconstruction project for bitumen storage and loading, jetty reconstruction to increase the availability of the Company's services and flexibility of technological capabilities. The Company is looking for opportunities in international LNG investment projects. Also, Company is involved in the analysis and search of carbon capture and storage technologies and is actively participating in the development of hydrogen platform technologies. To attain the economic value that investment projects are supposed to generate it is important to assure that the projects are implemented within the defined budget and timeframe. Company's

Board has set 10% tolerance limit for deviations; therefore, Company's management constantly monitors implementation statuses of the important projects, related risks, and their mitigation measures.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Foreign Exchange Rate Risks

Due to the specifics of the business, the Group and the Company are exposed to the risk of EUR/USD foreign exchange rate fluctuations due to FSRU lease payments in US dollars and to the risk of EUR/BRL foreign exchange rate due to activity of subsidiary KN Acu in Brazil. The Group and the Company hedge against changes in EUR/USD exchange rates by using futures contracts. When derivatives are realized, the result is recorded in the profit (loss) statement of each calendar month. For 2021 the Group and the Company accounted EUR 1,898 thousand income on the fair value change of derivatives. For 2020 the Group and the Company accounted EUR 1,869 thousand loss on the fair value change of derivatives. The fair value as at the end of reporting period is confirmed by SEB bank.

Credit Risks

A possible credit risk of the Group's and the Company's customers is managed by a continuous monitoring of outstanding balances. The Group's and the Company's procedures are in force to ensure on a permanent basis that services are provided to reliable customers and do not exceed an acceptable credit exposure limit. The Company trades only with reputable third parties, so there is no requirement for collateral. More information about the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables from the customers can be found in the Note 26 of the Explanatory Notes in the financial statements.

Interest Risks

The Group's and the Company's income and operating cash flows are influenced by changes in market interest rates, which are linked to EURIBOR base. Overall, 56% of loan portfolio is exposed to floating interest rate risk; no hedging derivative instruments were used. Thus, such standing has implications on financial results.

EIB facility with 3 tranches is exposed to 3 months EURIBOR with zero-floor applicable on EURIBOR base. In contrast, NIB facilities are exposed to 6 months EURIBOR with no zero-floor applicable on EURIBOR base.

AB KLAIPĖDOS NAFTA CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT For the financial year ending on 31 December 2021

The Group and the Company is constantly assessing its possibilities to hedge interest rate risks on its loans. Thus, the loans related to long-term LNG terminal solution with high probability in future are expected to be with partially or fully fixed interests.

The Group's and the Company's excess liquidity in forms of money and time deposits are distributed across the accounts of major Lithuanian banks, which are granted with Standard Poor's or equivalent long-term term borrowing BBB- or better external rating according to the foreign rating agencies. Partner bank's rating is assessed either on a stand-alone or applying a bank group logic into which exposure is present. Also, the Group and the Company is monitoring recommendation of the Central Bank of Lithuania.

More information about the interest risk can be found in the Note 26 of the Explanatory Notes in the financial statements.

Liquidity Risks

The Company's and the Group's policy is to maintain sufficient cash and cash equivalents or have available funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet its commitments at a given date in accordance with its strategic plans.

The Group's gross liquidity (APM) and quick ratios (APM) as of 31 December 2021 were 1.28 and 1.25, respectively (1.47 and 1.43 as at 31 December 2020).

The Company's gross liquidity (APM) and quick ratios (APM) as of 31 December 2021 were 1.20 and 1.17, respectively (1.41 and 1.37 as at 31 December 2020).

The Group's and Company's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility. The Group's and the Company's activities generate sufficient amount of cash; therefore, the Management's main responsibility is to monitor that the liquidity ratio of the Company is close to or higher than 1.

More information about the management of liquidity risk can be found in the Note 26 of the Explanatory Notes in the financial statements.
