Nordic Fibreboard AS main activity is production and wholesale of building materials. In addition it owns a real estate company with one real estate project ongoing in Pärnu, Estonia. Nordic Fibreboard AS is a holding company with subsidiaries Nordic Fibreboard Ltd OÜ, Pärnu Riverside Development OÜ and Skano Furniture OÜ (this subsidiary has had no activities for the last couple of years and is now undergoing a liquidation process). Nordic Fibreboard Ltd OÜ owned a subsidiary Suomen Tuulileijona OY, which was liquidated on 06.06.2022. The Group, as of 30.06.2022, therefore consists of the following companies, all 100% owned:
| Subsidiary | Location | Activity |
|---|---|---|
| Nordic Fibreboard Ltd OÜ | Estonia | Production and sales |
| Pärnu Riverside Development OÜ | Estonia | Rental and property development |
| Skano Furniture OÜ | Estonia | Retail (operations ended) |
Nordic Fibreboard Ltd OÜ produces and distributes softboard products for use in many different applications, the main categories being within construction (insulation, soundproofing, and interior finishing panels for walls and ceilings) and industry (packaging, door cores, expansion joint filler, pin and notice boards, acoustic reduction, cake boards, firelighters).
Pärnu Riverside Development OÜ owns and manages real estate located at Suur-Jõe street in Pärnu, the company provides rental service to local companies.
The principal markets of the company are the Nordic and Baltic region. Nordic Fibreboard`s customers and partners are well recognized parties within their field of expertise, and value long-term relations with Nordic Fibreboard.
The shares of Nordic Fibreboard AS are listed on the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange secondary list.
As at 30.06.2022 the Group employed 91 people (30.06.2021: 93 employees).

Consolidated net sales for Q2 2022 were € 3.65 million (Q2 2021: € 2.58 million). The main business area is the production and wholesale of fibreboard, which recorded sales in Q2 2022 of € 3.64 million, an increase of 45% compared to Q2 2021. The remaining business area is real estate management of the property owned in Suur-Jõe street in Pärnu, who recorded sales of € 9 thousand in Q2 2022 (Q2 2021: 64 thousand).
The reason for the increase in sales revenue in Q2 2022 was the continuing strong demand for building materials in the construction sector and a higher production volume compared to the Q2 2021. Production was running at full capacity and delivery times to our key customers was on average 3 months, which has been the norm during the last 2 years. Real estate management lost its largest tenant end of last year, which thus resulted in less sales in Q2 2022 compared to Q2 2021.
The consolidated EBITDA of Nordic Fibreboard for Q2 2021 was € 624 thousand, the EBITDA margin was 17% (Q2 2021: EBITDA was € 502 thousand and the EBITDA margin was 19%). Compared to the Q2 2021 the Group`s gross margin decreased from 37% to 30% in the Q2 2022. The main reason for this reduction in profitability is due to the sharp increase in raw material costs, ie woodchips and energy, experienced during 2022.
In the Q2 2022, a total financial income of € 82 thousand was recorded, consisting of financial income of € 105 thousand from dividend from the shares of Trigon Property Development (TPD), € 12 thousand from profits from the revaluation of these shares, and financial costs of € 35 thousand. In the Q2 2021, the financial income of € 227 thousand consisted of profit from the revaluation of TPD shares of € 257 thousand, and financial costs of € 30 thousand.
Group`s consolidated net profit for Q2 2022 was € 580 thousand (Q2 2021: profit € 606 thousand).

Fibreboard sales in Q2 2022 were € 3.64 million (2021: € 2.51 million). The order backlog remained strong throughout Q2 2022 reflecting the strong local markets, however we are keeping in close touch

with existing customers in far away markets, which resulted in some sales to Asia and Middle East. During Q2 2022, we increased the prices of our products to compensate for the increase in raw materials prices and energy costs.
The biggest increase in sales growth in Q2 2022 came from strong sales and volume growth in our three largest markets, these being Finland, Denmark, and Estonia. Sales to Russia ended in May 2022 due to the sanctions imposed as a result of Russia's war on Ukraine.
The operating profitability, ie EBITDA, of the fibreboard activities in Q2 2022 was € 635 thousand, an increase of 22% compared to the same period last year. Fibreboard division's net profit for Q2 2022 was € 592 thousand (Q2 2021: net profit € 603 thousand).

The property has some rental tenants and rental income from real estate management was € 9 thousand in Q2 2022, (Q2 2021: € 64 thousand). The reason for the decrease in sales revenue was caused by the loss of the largest tenant at the end of 2021.

The Group`s definition of labour costs includes payroll expenses (incl. holiday pay) with additional remuneration fees, payroll taxes, special benefits and taxes calculated on special benefits.
Demand for fibreboards was strong during Q2 2022 and the outlook near term indicate that demand is still good despite the current market uncertainty driven by higher energy costs and an increased interest rate environment. Our relatively inexpensive fibreboards, with its green credentials, should provide a somewhat good hedge against any future softening of the building material markets. Nordic Fibreboard's extensive customer reach on several continents is also a comforting factor when looking ahead.
The management is in process of securing financing for a new biomass boiler, the objective being to improve the boiler houses energy and resource use , which would improve the efficiency of using wood fuel and reduce air emissions. The goal of Nordic Fibreboards is to improve the company`s current energy use so that it can operate more efficiently and environmentally friendly in the future.
We will continue to manage and develop the property on Suur-Jõe Street 48, Pärnu. A detail plan for the property is ongoing, with the intention of converting the property into a private residential property.

Nordic Fibreboard AS's interest rate risk relates to changes in EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate) since our loans are linked to EURIBOR. At 30.06.2022 six months' EURIBOR rate was 0,263% and at 30.06.2021 (0.515)%. For the last six years, EURIBOR has remained negative, which means that EURIBOR has been equated to zero in loan agreemens. Since the interest rate increase is currently marginal and the Group borrowings have a term of up to 5 years, the management estimates that the floating interest rate will not have a significant impact on the Group's cash flows.
The dates for fixing interest rates on the basis of changes in EURIBOR are the 30th day of every six months for its bank loans.
The interest rate risk also depends on the overall economic situation in Estonia and in the eurozone. Nordic Fibreboard AS has a cash flow risk arising from the interest rate risk because its loans have a floating interest rate. Management believes that the cash flow risk is not significant, therefore no hedging instruments are used.
The foreign exchange risk is the risk that the company may have significant loss because of fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Nordic Fibreboard has no operations outside of the euro zone and most of our export-import contracts to customers outside of the eurozone are nominated in EUR. Raw materials for production are mainly in EUR.
The risk of the economic environment for the fibreboard division depends on general developments in the construction and industrial segments. In resent years, the risk of a possible deterioration in the economic environment has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the economic environment in the 2022 has been most affected by Russia`s agression against Ukraine, which affects not only the European but also the world economy.
The management estimates that the fair values of cash, accounts receivables and payables, short-term loans and borrowings do not materially differ from their carrying amounts. The fair values of long-term loans do not materially differ from their carrying amounts because their interest rates correspond to the interest rate risks prevailing on the market.
The liquidity risk is a potential loss arising from the existence of limited or insufficient financial resources that are necessary for performing the obligations related to the activities of the Group. The Management Board continuously monitors cash flow movements, using the existence and sufficiency of the Group's financial resources for performing the assumed obligations and financing the strategic objectives of the Group.

The management board has prepared the management report and the consolidated financial interim statements of Nordic Fibreboard AS for the second quarter 2022.
The management board confirms that the management report on pages 4-8 provides a true and fair view of the business operations, financial results and financial condition of the parent company and the entities included in consolidation.
The management board confirms that according to their best knowledge the consolidated financial interim report on pages 10-24 presents a fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the issuer and the entities involved in the consolidation as a whole according to the International Financial Reporting Standards as they are adopted by the European Union and contains a description of the main risks.
