LHV Institutional Baltic Insight, July 30th, 2020

* Harju Elekter (‘HAE’; along with its subsidiaries it is referred to as the ‘Group’) published Q2 2020 results on 29th July 2020, which revealed a minor decline in revenues, as expected. However, a significant improvement in profitability on a y-o-y basis surprised us. The Group stated that the COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly affect its revenues in the reporting quarter as the orders of the Group’s customers are mostly of a long-term nature, and the work for framework agreements will continue as agreed with the customers. Please also refer to the tables in the attachment.

* Klaipedos Nafta (‘KNF’ or the ‘Group’) reported somewhat stronger than anticipated underlying profits for Q2 2020, with revenues also revised upwards compared to the preliminary monthly figures published earlier. Please also refer to the tables in the attachment.

* Novaturas AB (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Company’) published its Q2 2020 results yesterday evening. As expected, and previously reported, the Company indicated that it earned revenues of c.a. EUR 0.1m. This was due to operations being suspended from mid-March until July. Despite negligible revenues, the Company impressively restricted the net losses to EUR 1.9m. This was better than our estimated loss range of EUR 2.5-5.0m. The Company is hosting a quarterly webinar on Friday, 30th June 2020, and more in-depth comments will be published by us subsequent to the webinar. Please also refer to the tables in the attachment.
