Management comment:
In the first quarter of 2020, the same as 2019, the Group's and the Company's net profit was significantly affected by fluctuations of exchange rate, which had negative impact by EUR 5 million in the first quarter of 2020 and by EUR 4.8 million in the same period of 2019. The unrealized impact of exchange rates arose from the 1st January of 2019 under the requirements of IFRS 16 "Lease", which indicated the Company to capitalize finance lease obligations and the major part of them is denominated in US dollars. Whereas all US dollar denominated lease liabilities relate to LNG terminal, the effect of unrealized exchange rate are reflected in the regulated segment. Revenue of the Group for the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 is lower by EUR 6 million due to the reduction of LNG security supplement from the 1st January 2020.
LNG regasification at Klaipeda LNG terminal (hereinafter - LNG terminal) still remains at a high level, however, revenue for the three months of 2020 comprise EUR 11.5 million and is lower by EUR 6.5 million or 36% compared to the same period of 2019 (EUR 18 million) due to the reduction of LNG security supplement by EUR 6.7 million in Q1 2020. Compared to the same period of 2019, more income was generated due to much higher level of LNG regasification, which partially compensated the lower revenue due to the reduction of LNG security supplement.
Revenue of oil terminals for the first three months of 2020 decrease by EUR 0.7 million compared to the same period of 2019. Sales revenue of KN oil terminals were influenced by the historically low oil prices and unfavorable oil refining margins, which influenced oil production volumes and respectively had a negative impact on oil transit. Moreover, due to warm winter season, demand of diesel fuel, heating oil and similar fuels decreased, hence inventories have increased and caused lower refining margins. As a consequence, production capacities have been decreased in regions' refineries. However, intensive transshipment of crude oil at KN oil terminal in Klaipeda in March positively influenced and partially compensated lower sales revenue of handling traditional oil products at Company's oil terminals.
During the first three months of 2020 revenue from commercial LNG activities comprise EUR 1.2 million and is higher by 94% compared to the same period of 2019 (EUR 60 thousand). Commercial LNG activities comprise of business development projects, small scale LNG reloading station in Klaipeda and LNG terminal operator services provided at the Port of Acu terminal in Brazil.
