Consolidated net sales for Q3 2023 were € 1.79 million (Q3 2022: € 2.79 million). The main business area is Nordic Fibreboard Ltd, the production and wholesale of fibreboard, which recorded sales in Q3 2023 of € 1.78 million, (Q3 2022: € 2.78 million). The remaining business area is Pärnu Riverside Development, real estate management of the property owned in Suur-Jõe street in Pärnu, who recorded sales of € 11 thousand in Q3 2023 (Q3 2022: € 9 thousand).
The decline in Nordic Fibreboard's Q3 2023 sales revenue continues to be impacted by global economic uncertainty, which has led to a lack of confidence among end users of building materials, including the company's fiberboard. Nordic Fibreboard Ltd had sales of € 1.78 million in Q3 2023, down 12% from Q2 2023 and down 23% from Q1 2023, which shows that the decline in sales revenue is abating.
The consolidated EBITDA of Nordic Fibreboard for Q3 2023 was € 238 thousand, the EBITDA margin was 13% (Q3 2022: EBITDA was € 193 thousand and the EBITDA margin was 7%). Compared to the Q3 2022 the Groups gross margin increased from 19% to 27% in the Q3 2023, which indicates that the Groups profitability in the Q3 2023 has increased compared to the same period last year.
Financial expenses for the Q3 2023 were € 79 thousand, of which € 55 thousand were loan interest costs and € 24 thousand were losses from the revaluation of Trigon Property Development (TPD) shares. Total financial income of € 49 thousand was recorded in Q3 2022, which consist of the profit from the revaluation of shares (TPD) in the amount of € 79 thousand and the interest expense of loan obligations in the amount of € 30 thousand.
Group`s consolidated net profit for Q3 2023 was € 37 thousand (Q3 2022: profit € 117 thousand).

Fibreboard sales in Q3 2023 were € 1.78 million (Q3 2022: € 2.78 million). In Q3 2023, the main reason for the decrease in sales revenue compared to Q3 2022 was the loss of a key customer in Denmark, resulting in a loss of 30% of sales compared to Q3 2022. In addition, sales in Finland decreased by 50% in Q3 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. But as positive news, it has been possible to revive relations with former export customers and found new customers both in the Middle East and in the European Union, for example Bulgaria and France. As a result, sales to the Middle East, Asia, Africa and other regions have improved in Q3 2023 compared to Q3 2022. Sales to European Union countries have decreased in the 3rd quarter of 2023 compared to the 3rd quarter of 2022. However, if we look at the countries of the European Union separately, sales to Sweden and Latvia have increased, and sales in Estonia have remained at the same level.
The EBITDA of the fiberboard segment for the Q3 2023 was a positive € 246 thousand, which is a quarterly improvement compared to the EBITDA for the Q3 2022, which was a positive € 201 thousand, but when comparing EBITDA for the first nine months of 2023 with the 2022 with the same period, the drop is 66%. The reason for the decline was the too high fixed electricity price, which was signed with the electricity supplier at the end of 2022. The electricity contract was cancelled on 31.3.2023, and a new less onerous electricity contract came into force on 01.04.2023.

Pärnu Riverside Development owns the property located at Suur-Jõe 48 in Pärnu. The property has some rental tenants and rental income from real estate management was € 11 thousand in Q3 2023, (Q3 2022: € 9 thousand).

Labour costs were € 0.39 million including taxes in Q3 2023 and € 1.24 million for first nine months of 2023 (Q3 2022: € 0.51 million, 9M 2022: € 1.53 million). Group fees for the members of the management boards of holding company and its subsidiaries, together with taxes, were € 81 thousand in Q3 2023 and € 205 thousand for first nine months of 2023 (Q3 2022: € 65 thousand, 9M 2022: € 196 thousand).
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.
The overall demand picture continues to be challenging, and the short-term outlook remains uncertain due to headwinds coming from macro factors, such as increasing interest rates, global economic uncertainty, and the ongoing wars in Ukraine and in Israel. All have led to a construction/renovation market slowdown and a lack of confidence among end users of building materials, including the use of the company's fibreboards.
Main operation issue remains the ongoing preparation of upgrading the company's wood-based boiler house in Pärnu so to meet the new emission requirements coming into force in 01.01.2025.
We will continue to manage and develop the property on Suur-Jõe Street 48, Pärnu. A detail plan for the property has been completed, with the intention of converting the property into a private residential property.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The interest rate risk of Nordic Fibreboard AS depends on a possible change in EURIBOR (Euro Interbank Offered Rate), since some of the Groups loans are linked to EURIBOR, the Groups financial cost also increases when the interest rate increases. At 30.09.2023 six months' EURIBOR rate was 4.125% and at 30.09.2022 1.809%. The loan from the Rural Development Foundation is concluded with a fixed interest rate, thus bear no interest rate risk. However, the Company loan from Coop Pank AS does have a floating interest rate, but the management is of the opinion that the floating interest rate will not bear significant impact to Company'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, as part of the 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 purchased mainly in EUR.
The risk of the economic environment for the Group depends on general developments in the construction and industrial segments. The economic environment in the last two years has been most affected by Russia`s aggression against Ukraine, which has had an impact on the world economy, especially in Europe. Commodities prices have therefore been volatile, supply chains have been disturbed, and interest rates have increased. At the start of 2023, there were signs of some easing of the macroeconomic risks that the Company faced in 2022, however the ongoing uncertainty created by the war in Ukraine, and its implications and effects on the global, and especially European, economic environment make it difficult to make future economic forecasts.
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.

EBITDA is not a performance measure defined in IFRS. The Group`s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled operating profit measures and disclosures by other entities.
For the 3rd Quarter of 2023
