Nordic Fibreboard AS Audited Annual Report 2022


Supervisory Board of Nordic Fibreboard AS approved the company's audited annual report for 2022.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATING RESULTS

Consolidated net sales for 2022 were € 11.07 million, which is an increase of 10% compared to 2021 sales of € 10.10 million. The sales revenue from the production of fibreboard was € 11.04 million in 2022 (2021: € 9.84 million). The reason for such sales increase is due to increased sales of fibreboards in our key markets such as Finland, Denmark, Estonia and Latvia. The increase is a combination of price and volume dependent on the Market. The sales revenue in 2022 from real estate management was € 39 thousand (2021: € 254 thousand), the decrease in sales revenue of the real estate management was caused by the loss of the largest tenant at the end of 2021, who occupied the old production halls of the territory. The Group does not foresee to rent the old production halls again.

The consolidated EBITDA of Nordic Fibreboard AS for 2022 was € 1.73 million (2021: € 1.56 million). EBITDA margin was 16% in 2022 and remained at a similar level compared to 2021 (2021: 15%). The 2022 EBITDA includes a one-time income of € 697 thousand from the revaluation of the real estate investment in Pärnu Riverside Development OÜ. However, the Group’s gross margin fell from 33% for full year 2021 to becoming 23% for full year 2022, the main reason for the decrease in the gross margin was the substantial increase in pricing of woodchips, the company`s main input costs.

The consolidated net profit of Nordic Fibreboard AS for 2022 was € 1.23 million (2021: € 1.20 million). In 2022, the net profit included dividends of € 129 thousand from shares owned by Nordic Fibreboard Ltd in the real estate company Trigon Property Development AS (TPD). In 2021 the net profit included profit from the revaluation of TPD shares in the amount € 265 thousand.
