Report on activity of the "Latvijas Gāze" JSC in the 6 months of the year 2010

The Joint Stock Company "Latvijas G ze" (hereinafter – LG) is the only natural gas transmission, storage, distribution and sale operator in Latvia. The company supplies natural gas to 442.1 thousand customers in Latvia, and in winter – also to Estonia, the Northwestern part of Russia and Lithuania from the In ukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility.

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

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

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

The underlying principles of financial activity of LG are as follows:

  • investments in modernization of the infrastructure related to natural gas supply stability and security;
  • investments in the development of infrastructure and the quality of service;
  • competitive price of natural gas and services;
  • profit that enables the company to make investments and pay dividends in compliance with the international natural gas industry practice. Such amount of profit is regulated by the Public Utility Commission of the Republic of Latvia by setting the level of capital return (currently the capital return is set to 8.0 % of the regulated asset basis).

1. Activity of the Company in the reporting year

In 6 months of 2010 LG sold to consumers 985.1 million m3 of gas, which is by 25.0% or 197.1 million m3 more than it had been budgeted and by 22.0% more than in the respective period of 2009.

The increase of natural gas consumption among both industrial and residential customers during the 6 months of 2010 stems from the protractedly low air temperature in the 1st quarter of 2010 and competitive natural gas sale price because clients received natural gas from In ukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility (hereinafter - In ukalns UGS) which was bought in autumn 2009 for considerably lower price than fuel oil price in the market because of the rising oil product quotations in the stock exchange. In the beginning of 2009 there was opposite trend – heat supply companies began to use fuel oil and other alternative fuel because of the high natural gas prices.

The gas injection season at the In ukalns UGS began in April 11, 2010. Upon the commencement of natural gas injection, the reserves of active gas at the In ukalns UGS were 51.4 million nm3 .

It is planned that 1 945 million nm3 of natural gas would be injected into the In ukalns UGS in 2010, reaching 1 997 million nm3 of active gas at the end of the injection season.

In the 1st half of 2010, consumers were sold natural gas and provided services for LVL 177.7 million, which is by 13.4 % less than in the respective period of 2009, still by 28.6% more than planned in the budget of 2010. The fall of income towards the respective period of 2009 stems from the industrial users and residential customers being applied the discriminative natural gas sale end tariffs in the 1st quarter of 2010. These tariffs corresponded to the natural gas sale price, which was by 82.6 % lower than in Q1 of 2009. The income, compared to 2009, decreased both from industrial and household customers. The income from transmission and storage, for its part, increased, as other countries used the services of the In ukalns UGS more intensively due

to the cold weather, as well as there were higher tariffs of natural gas storage in the 1st quarter of 2010.

LG completed 6 months of 2010 with a profit of LVL 7.9 million, which is by 17.9 % higher than in the respective period of 2009 when the profit amounted to LVL 6.7 million.

Within the framework of the capital investment programme, LVL 7.5 million of investment funds were taken up over 6 months of 2010. The funds were mostly spent on the construction of new gas pipelines and the renovation of existing ones, modernization of technological equipment, as well the reconstruction of engineering buildings and constructions.

Important activities

Work on introduction of excise tax on natural gas. On 22nd April 2010 parliament of Republic of Latvia confirmed changes in law, according to which:

  • · excise tax will be applied to natural gas which will be supplied to end users households and industrial users, who use natural gas for thermal energy production and car fuel.

LVL 289.8 thousands were calculated and paid as an excise tax to state budget for natural gas supplied to end users in July 2010.

Referring to low resident paying capacity and increase in natural gas purchase price because of oil quotation, opposition parties proposed changes in law "About excise tax" in concordance with which excise tax would not be adjusted from 01.09.2010. till 30.06.2011. Parliament confirmed proposed changes in an extraordinary meeting on 25th August 2010.
