LHV Institutional Baltic Insight, June 2nd, 2020

Please find attached today's edition of the Baltic Insight.
* Linas Agro’s (‘LNA’ or the ‘Group’) Q3 FY19/20 results, published on 29th May 2020, revealed a significant decline in revenues but improvement in profitability. Due to the COVID-19 crisis and lockdown in many countries, the Group companies faced various challenges, but the latest quarter results were not significantly affected by the pandemic. None of the companies had to be closed; every company operated with individual employee protection measures and in compliance with new work safety procedures and customer service regulations. Please also refer to the tables in the attachment.
* Olainfarm’s (‘OLF’ or the ‘Group’) Q1 2020 revenues were revised upward compared to the preliminary figures published in April and the Group managed to post somewhat stronger than anticipated core profits for the quarter. However, the sharp weakening of CIS and Central Asia currencies against the EUR during the first quarter of 2020 resulted in substantial FX losses, about twice the size we assumed, while the Group booked FX gains in Q1 2019. Accordingly, OLF reported steeply lower net profits for Q1 2020 compared to the same quarter last year. Please also refer to the tables in the attachment.
* Silvano Fashion Group’s (‘Silvano’ or the ‘Group’) Q1 2020 results, published on 29th May 2020 revealed a significant decline in revenues, but a substantial improvement in profitability at the operating level, on a y-o-y basis. Please also refer to the tables in the attachment.
