Report of the Board of Directors

The Joint Stock Company "Latvijas Gāze" (hereinafter – the Company) is the only natural gas transmission, storage, distribution and sale operator in Latvia. The company supplies natural gas to 441.7 thousand customers in Latvia, and in winter – also to Estonia, the Northwestern part of Russia and Lithuania from the Inčukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility (hereinafter – Inčukalns UGS).

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

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

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

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

  • investments in 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. Operation of the Company in the reporting period

In 9 months of 2012, the Company sold to the consumers 1017.9 million nm3 of natural gas. Compared to the respective period of 2011, natural gas sales have decreased by 9.2 % still being 1.8% or 17.8 million nm3 above the volume planned in the budget of 2012.

The gas injection season at the Inčukalns Underground Gas Storage Facility (hereinafter – Inčukalns UGS) began on April 25, 2012. Upon starting natural gas injection, the reserves of active gas at the Inčukalns UGS were 144.72 million nm3 .

The gas injection season at the Inčukalns UGS was completed on October 11, 2012 and over the season 2012, 2 199.5 million nm3 of natural gas were injected into the Inčukalns UGS, reaching the active gas volume of 2 300.0 million nm 3 at the end of the injection season.

Over 9 months of 2012, the consumers have been sold natural gas and provided services for LVL 293.5 million, which is by 18.7 % more than in the respective period of 2011 and by 2.9 % more than budgeted.

The rise of income over the respective period of 2011 has taken place because in the 9 months of 2012 the industrial and residential customers were applied differential natural gas sale end-user tariffs corresponding to a natural gas sale price, which was by 33 % higher than in the 9 months of 2011 due to quotations of the heavy fuel oil prices and changes in currency exchange rates. Compared to 2011, the income grew in both the industrial and the household customers sector.

The Company completed 9 months of 2012 with a profit of LVL 6.9 million, which is by 25 % less than in the respective period of 2011 when the profit amounted to LVL 9.2 million.

Within the framework of the capital investment programme, LVL 11.6 million of investment funds were spent over 9 months of 2012, mostly on the renovation of gas transmission and distribution pipelines, the modernization of technological equipment and wells.
