39 Board of Directors report for the financial year 1 January 31 December 2014 The Operations The Parent company sells administrative, financial and accounting services to the Group companies. The business includes also rental of machinery, equipment, real estate and office space in home country and abroad. The Parent company s activity includes also strategic planning, development and managing of Group s businesses segments. The Parent company s businesses, organized in Group and associated companies, consist of four business segments: container transport services, terminal operation, depot- and warehousing and other operations. The business segments have been operated through subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures. Container Transport Services The container transport services have been run by Containerships Ltd Oy, which is 98% owned subsidiary of Container Finance. Containerships is a land and sea transportation company with business concept based on door-todoor transport, operating with fleet of designated container vessels and vehicles enabling optimization of the logistics chain and close cooperation with selected port operators. Containerships Group s core business is focused in the Baltic region, where the company is one of the leading providers on its Sector. Recent years have also witnessed the company expanding its business to the Mediterranean, which is today delivering nearly 13% of the consolidated net sales. The door-to-door service consists of both shipping by container vessels as well as inland transportation to or from harbours by truck, train or ferry inclusive storage services. Containerships directly control its vessels and container fleet as well as significant share of the trucks in use. Containerships, in close cooperation with its Agents, maintain own offices or Agencies across 20 countries providing sales and delivery services to the Company s international customers. Towards the end of 2013 the signs of positive economic activity grew steadily throughout the financial period in Europe, however sanctions in certain product groups originating from the Ukraine crisis, had its negative impact on volumes with fruit and vegetable import to Russia. In the Mediterranean the economic situation developed reasonable until June 2014 when the new war in Libya obstructed the traffic to North/Africa. The situation began to normalize in October, when Company activities in this area turned out profitable again. During 2014 the Company operated mainly with 8 vessels fleet in the Baltic area and with 3 to 5 vessels in the Mediterranean traffic. The Baltic routes vessels called the following ports> Helsinki, Pori, Teesport, Sheerness, Rotterdam, Ghent, Luebeck, Aarhus, Klaipeda, Riga and St. Petersburg. The weekly call to the port of Luebeck was included to the service in January 2014 when the calls to Hamburg were terminated. In Ukraine the company launched to the market its multimodal door-doorservice concept, which was not available before in this market. Ukraine will combine the Black Sea and Baltic as united operational area. In the Mediterranean the company vessels called Istanbul, Izmir, Mersin, Misurata, Benghazi, Tripoli, Bizerte and Algerian ports. For a short period of time the calls to Libyan ports were terminated, but have since recovered its routine. In the Baltic Sea the volumes in short shipping increased with 11.7% compared to the previous calendar year. The volumes in the Mediterranean decreased by 13.8%. The ship loading and other handling services for Containerships in Finland are provided by Container Finance s associated company Multi-Link Terminals Ltd Oy in Finland and OOO Moby Dick in Russia. Terminal handling, depot and warehousing services

40 The financial performance of the terminal handling, depot and warehousing services, organized through associated companies, was twofold. Multi-Link Terminal, selling terminal handling services, made a reasonably good profit considering the circumstances. Multi/Link Terminal operates in Helsinki, Kotka, and in St. Petersburg Litke Bay. The sales grew 9% compared to previous year due to the increased handled volumes. The company also distributed EUR 7 million in dividends to its shareholders, of which Containers Finance s share was EUR 1.7 million. The container terminal in Litke Bay has operated normally; the revenues have slightly increased due to increased handled volumes. The changes in the rouble exchange rates vis-á-vis euro and US dollar have resulted in relatively high unrealised exchange rate losses., when the USD-based sales receivables and USD-based bank loan are rated on the exchange rates of the Central Bank of Russia. Especially the rapid deterioration of the rouble value against the euro at the end of 2014 caused material unrealized exchange rate losses. In Kotka, where Multi-Link Terminal Ltd Oy also has operations, the terminal volumes have increased significantly. The handled volumes have also increased in Helsinki. The total volumes increased by 12% compared to previous year. Multi-Link Terminals Ltd Oy had a slightly negative result due to the EUR 320,000 impairment of fixed assets of its associate company. Even though the Multi-Link Terminal Ltd Oy numbers are slightly increasing, making exact estimates for 2015 is challenging. Mody Dick volumes in Russia have decreased due to the sanctions posed on Russia, even though the level of financial results has been positive. The financial result in 2015 is estimated to be better than in 2014 due to the executed rationalization measures and investments. Sustaining the profitability in still, however challenging in Vuosaari due to the expensiveness of the port and the unhealthy pricing by competitors. CD Holding (CDH) is a holding company in Finland, that only has ownership in a subsidiary in St. Petersburg, namely OOO Yanino Logistics Park and in two dormant companies in St. Petersburg. Yanino Logistics Park consists of a land container terminal, 30,000m 2 warehouse and technical infrastructure. The terminal has its own 5MW gas power station, which is now fully utilised by the business at the site. The total capacity of the terminal is 12,000 TEUs and the operational land area of the warehouse is 22,500m 2. The railroad inside the terminal is fully utilised by the business at the site. The revenues CD Holding Group decreased slightly in 2014 compared to previous year even though the subsidiary Yanino Logistics Park handled 40% more containers and 5% more of tonnage cargo compared to previous year. This is mainly due to the weakening of the rouble. The EBITDA of CD Holding was EUR 1.1 million, the Net Income was negative due to high depreciation and financial expenses. The financial loss is mainly due to the unrealised exchange rate losses of Yanino s USDand EUR-based loans. Container Finance s share of those exchange rate losses was EUR 12.6 million calculated on the exchange rates of the day of the annual report. Shareholders hold 78% of the loans of CD Holding and the shareholder have initiated actions to correct the situation. One of the actions is the loan arrangement done in November 2014, which resulted in CD Holding having no loans to shareholders and positive equity. Shareholders have also given a comfort letter to provide financial support to the company in order to allow the company to continue its operations. Container Finance also holds 50% share in a terminal in Gent, Belgium, namely Gent Container Terminal. The results of the terminal improved in 2014 due to increase in handled volumes, development of the operations and the cooperation with its cooperation partner. The mobile crane owned by the company was destroyed by a fire in September, but the acquisition of a new crease can be done with the funds from the insurance of the burned crane. The on-going expansion and development plan details that the terminal is going to have railroad access and the area is going to be improved by other means as well by the Gent port operator. The changes and improvements should be finalised by end of Q The terminal company had a positive cash flow, EBITDA and result in Other operations The unitised cargo, haulage and warehousing is handled by the subsidiary, Cargo Connexion Oy. The warehouse and haulage services of Cargo Connexion are in Loviisa. The company has close

41 cooperation with a local stevedoring company, Nordström Group. Cargo Connexion had a positive result in The operations of Ecoshipping have been developed during 2014 focusing more on road transportation between Continental Europe and Finland, as well as on CEMT-operations in Germany. The operations of Someron Autokuljetus, which were acquired in 2013, were integrated to Ecoshipping operations to support the development. The development of the operations continued in 2014 and the transportation operations increased through its own sales and though sub-contracting to other transportation companies. The subcontracting increased significantly in summer At the beginning of the fall the situation worsened, as one of the customers ended up in financial difficulties and became bankrupt. This bankruptcy resulted in nearly EUR 500,000 bad debts for Ecoshipping. Ecoshipping had to write down the respective open sales receivables. At the same time renewal of the trucks and unexpected malfunctions of the trucks and other equipment, temporary decrease of volumes and rearrangements required resulted a heavily negative results. The financial support of the parent company has been necessary in rearranging Ecoshipping operations and the parent company has given EUR 600,000 in group contribution as well shareholder loans. The improvements required to improve the operations and results will continue in Other operations consisted of hotel- and restaurant operations as well as few real estates that are rented. As part of the business, the hotel-operations offer also adventure trips in the archipelago of Loviisa and hunting trips at Lohijärvi Ainola in Ylitornio. The real estate business run profitably. The hotel operations were sold on 30 March 2014 and the hotel real estate was transferred to the owner running the operations in October Container Finance has no branch offices as the business is run by the subsidiaries and associated companies. Risks The company s and Group s business risks relate mainly to the development of the global economy and its effect to the freight volume, traffic volatility, competitors actions and oil prices. Also certain dollar-based costs and dependence on the exchange fluctuations result in exchange rate -risks to the company. To mitigate the risks the company operations is various geographical traffic areas, such as Finland, the Baltics, Europe, Russia and the Mediterranean. The increase in fuel costs and vessel charted rates pose challenges to the profitability of the business. The fuel price increase is partly transferrable to freight rates through fuel surcharge. Cost increases in haulage can be coped with accurate and punctual operation of the service, which has still been a strong focus area in Improving and maintaining the performance of the Mediterranean traffic will be another challenge. The situation and traffic in North Africa have gradually returned to normal, despite the unrest in the region. The tightness of the financing market is a risk, which may slow-down or complicate the realisation of the growth opportunities and business arrangements. Refinancing and investment planning take a lot of time and accurate calculations in group operations. The economic cycles of the global economy may even rapidly affect the traffic volumes and this requires continuous business sensitivity from the company. The Group and especially Containerships have a slight advantage, as the traffic network in the Baltic Sea is extensive and the vessels can operate efficiently in the container terminals operated by the company both in Finland and in Russia. Developing the warehousing, depot services and other services as part of the Yanino project is one of the most important tasks. These tasks are done together with Global Ports International (GPI) and APM Terminals. One of the alternatives is to sell the entire Yanino operations. There is material insecurity related to the receivables from Yanino due to the current Yanino situation. The consolidate financial statements of the associated companies have been drafted based on the going-concern principle as per the management of the respective companies and the proposal of GPI. CDH and Yanino will require shareholder support in the future. Cost control, sales development and

42 reporting and the appropriate use of financing continues to pose challenges to the operations. Otherwise, there are no material risks related to the port and depot operations in Russia. Changes in group structure and events after the financial year The consolidated accounts for 2014 have been prepared along the Finnish Accounting Standards. Multi-Link Terminals and CD Holding -groups have been consolidated as associated companies. Container Finance has 25% in them. There are not material changes in the group structure in In 2015 company continues to evaluate possibilities to develop and clarify its group structure. The sister company merger of Palmen & Charpentier Oy and Isdegon Oy to Containerships Ltd oy that was started in 2013 was completed. Degerby Constructor Oy was merged into Degerby Hotel- Restaurant Ltd Oy and the name was changed into Degerby Constructor Oy. SECA (Sulphur Emission Control Area) ruling entered into force at the beginning requiring the seafarers operating in the area to use low sulphur marine gas oil (<0.1%). This creates changes to the maritime industry either in the price of fuel or investments to special equipment, scrubbers. To balance the costs, the seafarers have implemented a SECA-charge to their freight bills and Containerships Ltd Oy has also included this extra fee as from 1 st of January. Containerships Ltd Oy refinanced its loan portfolio at the end of March. Loan arrangement included, in addition to full amortization of existing long term debt, new funding for planned investments and working capital financing. Containerships plans to use new funds for financing new LNG-fuelled vessels and related containers driven by volume growth. As part of the arrangement loans of Container Finance were also rearranged. After the end of the financial year the Russian rouble has strengthened considerably vis-á-vis Euro and US dollar, which has a material positive effect especially on the profitability of Russian operations and unrealised exchange rate differences. Partly due to this Yanino was profitable by EUR 10 million after the first four months and Multi-Link terminals made approximately EUR 4.5 million in EBIT during the same time period. Financial performance In 2014, the financial performance of the Group and especially Containerships, the most important subsidiary, was better than on the previous year. The revenue increased at the end of the year. The sharp weakening of the rouble at the end of the year caused material unrealised exchange rate losses. These losses were EUR 2.5 million in Containerships Group. The losses would have been greater without the rouble and USD hedging. The biggest unrealised exchange rate losses were caused by the Russian associated companies, were the weakening of the rouble caused EUR 12.6 million in unrealised exchange rate losses, which is included in the income statement in the row share of associated companies income. Altogether the unrealised exchange rate losses of the group were EUR 13.9 million. Company has had no standalone research and development activity. In 2014, there were on average 590 persons (592) employed by the Group and wages and salaries totalled EUR 20.0 million (EUR 20.7 million), out of which wages and salaries for the Board of Directors and the managing director totalled EUR 1.4 million (EUR 0.9 million). In 2014, there were on average 12 persons (12) persons employed by the Company and wages and salaries totalled EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.8 million) on accrual basis, out of which wages and salaries for the Board of Directors and the managing director totalled EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million). The net sales of the parent company totalled EUR 2.5 million (EUR 2.3 million) in 2014 and the Group net sales were EUR million (EUR million). The Group reported EUR 17.0 million in losses (EUR 8.2 million in losses). The loss includes write-downs of values of receivables, as well as other write-downs of investments and receivables of EUR 1.5 million (EUR 1.9 million).

43 Unrealised exchange rate losses for the group were EUR 13.9 million, out of which Yanino#s share was EUR 12.8 million (EUR 2.0 million loss) due to the differences in USD, RUB and EUR exchange rates of the loans. At the end of 2014, the consolidated balance sheet of the group totalled EUR million (EUR million). In the consolidated group accounts, the goodwill according to the business plan was EUR 8.3 million (EUR 9.1 million) after the changes in Containerships Ltd Oy group has prepared its own consolidated accounts, which have been fully consolidated to Container Finance. Multi-Link Terminals Ltd -group Oy and CD Holding -group have been consolidated into Container Finance as associated companies. The parent company s profit for the period was EUR 1.2 million (EUR -1.9 million loss). The result was burdened by the write down of values of receivables and investments, that are included in other expenses, as well as by the exchange rate losses of EUR 362,000. The parent company gave group contributions to its subsidiaries altogether EUR 705,000 and received group contributions of EUR 134,000. The consolidated balance sheet of the parent company was EUR 98,765 (EUR 100,268). The distributable shareholders equity was EUR 86,168,112 taking into consideration the profit for the period. The company has given loans to related parties in total of EUR 518,000 for guarantees.

It is based on ISO and the company complies with it to the extent applicable. The 2015 tightening of the sulphur directive for vessel fuels and the SECA-areas in the Baltic Sea are a great challenge for the entire industry, as it increases the cost of fuel considerably. The company is actively working with its subsidiaries to mitigate the cost effect of the new directive either by installing scrubbers to the vessels or by other means fulfilling the requirements of the directive. Distribution of profits The Board proposes that a dividend of EUR 600,000 is distributed out of the parent company s distributable shareholders equity of EUR 86,168,112 after considering the parent company s profit for the period of EUR 1,173,379. The consolidated distributable shareholders equity totalled EUR 46,588,488. There have been no material changes in the financial position of the company after the balance sheet date. The company s liquidity is satisfactory. Outlook for 2015

44 The Baltic Sea traffic and volumes in 2015 are expected to stay at 2014 level or to slightly decline due to the Russian sanctions. The Group s transport volumes are still expected grow. The total growth in volumes is expected to be reflected in the results for port and terminal operations. The intra- Mediterranean volumes is estimated to grow from 2014 level. Ownerhsip The share capital of the company consists of 156 shares, all in one class, bearing a redemption clause, but no approval clause.
