INTERIM PRESIDENT AND CEO, OLLI POHJANVIRTA:

Net sales increased and operating loss decreased in the first half of the year.
China cargo train sales growth had an evident impact on the operating result for
the first half of the year. April–June’s operating result was EUR 0.1 million
positive. Positive performance will continue and, in the second half of the
year, we expect to see a significant improvement compared to first half of 2020.

Fixed costs are estimated to decrease by EUR 0.4–0.5 million in the second half
of 2020 in comparison to first half. On the annual level fixed costs are
estimated to decrease further by EUR 1 million compared to 2020.

The first half of the year was twofold, the January–March period was difficult
performance-wise. The forest industry strike, a shipping container shortage, and
disturbances in inland traffic in China due to the COVID-19 outbreak had a
negative effect on business. Our China cargo train operations were stalled for
over a month due to the exceptional COVID-19 situation as restrictions imposed
by the authorities disrupted China inland traffic and the distribution of goods.
At no point were any restrictions set on the movement of trains, which
demonstrates the operational reliability of the cargo train product.

I am delighted with the determination and competence of our personnel in
developing and improving our business, despite the difficult circumstances
during the first half of the year. The development has been noticeable in
improved customer service which has influenced both net sales growth and the
operating result turning positive in April–June. The ratio of fixed costs to net
sales is still too high. To ensure continued improvement in profitability, net
sales growth especially in China cargo train transport and operational
efficiency improvements regarding all Finnish operations will remain our focus.
The China cargo train product highlights our unique operational capability,
including Forwarding services and the Vuosaari cargo handling services, vast
customer base representing different industries and trade, as well as a growing
international clientele who benefit from our train service in shipments to
Central Europe. These factors combined enable profitable growth in the future.
Our China cargo train played a significant role in securing the availability of
medical supplies for Finnish health care.

In June, we signed a contract with the Port of Narvik, with the aim of becoming
a key player in fresh fish export to China. Deliveries will begin during 2020.
We are introducing temperature-controlled reefer containers in our China cargo
train transport, which opens up a notable new market and competitive advantage
for us also in the export of fresh meat and beverages.

We strengthened our organisation in the international railway business to ensure
continued good progress with China cargo train business. This enables the
company to stay in pole position in logistics throughout the EU when it comes to
accessibility of the China market. Our highly efficient cargo train product is
the single greatest logistics innovation on the Finnish market in the 21st
century. The growth prospects for the business are good.

A new operative management structure was introduced in June and it will
emphasise profit responsibility and improve service development in the future.

Both cargo handling and forwarding volumes remained more stable than expected
during the quickly evolving market situation. This stable development was
attributed to our vast clientele across various industries and the regional
coverage of our offices.

Cargo terminal services operated at a loss in the first half of the year and we
will accelerate efficiency measures, which will lower fixed costs and improve
service. Terminal handling was still strained by high rent level in offices
where space is leased.  Cargo terminal handling services are expected to be more
profitable in 2021. Higher performance standards will be set especially for the
unique chemical terminals in Kotka and the Heavy terminal in Vuosaari.

Forwarding services continued to operate at a profit. Earlier investments in IT
systems support upright development also in the future, considering the
dependency on Finnish import and export volumes. Baltic operations remained
stable.

All in all, the company’s profitability is still unsatisfactory and further
measures are needed to improve profitability and balance sheet structure.

MARKET SITUATION IN THE REVIEW PERIOD

Finland’s economic growth slowed down in the first half of 2020 as a result of
the COVID-19 pandemic. Trade between Finland and China remained at a good level.
This was manifested in Nurminen Logistics’ operations positively. China cargo
train transport volumes grew rapidly due to the reliability and strong
operational capability of the services as well as uncertainty related to other
transport modes.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE

EUR 1000   1–6/2020  1–6/2019
Net sales    36,480    34,470
EBIT           -508    -1,709

Net sales for the first half of 2020 increased to EUR 36.5 (34.5) million,
growing 5.8 percent from 2019. EBIT improved to EUR -0.5 million (-1.7).
Positive development is primarily due to growth in China cargo train services.
Operating result grew also in forwarding services in the beginning of the year.
Fixed administrative costs declined substantially from 2019.

BUSINESS REVIEW 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE

The result for the first half of 2020 improved substantially from 2019, where
ramping up costs of China cargo train burdened the company’s operating result
heavily. The COVID-19 pandemic influenced global logistics during the first half
of the year. The reduction in industrial production was evident in declining
transport volumes. Sea freight connections were limited and traffic between
continents decreased.

A challenging operating environment was reflected in China cargo train services
especially in February–March when shipments were delayed due to movement
restrictions. The strong recovery in China in the second quarter together with
reduced sea and air freight capacity and price increases supported sales growth
for China cargo train business. The clientele expanded. Growth in net sales was
manifested in the result. In January–June 2020, net sales of the China cargo
train business increased by 44 percent from 2019 to EUR 4.1 million (2.9). The
China cargo train business’s share of total net sales is 11 percent (8).

Net sales of the Forwarding business grew, and the operating result improved in
the first half of 2020. Positive development was seen especially in the first
quarter when volumes were high in the forest industry and in steel imports. The
COVID-19 effects were evident in consignment volumes mainly in May. In
January–June, net sales totalled EUR 6.6 million (4.9) and growth from previous
year was 36 percent. The Forwarding business amounts to 18 percent of group net
sales (14).

In the Cargo handling business, the effects of the paper industry strike in
January–February remained minor and the first quarter result improved from 2019.
The influence of the paper industry strike and the COVID-19 pandemic were seen
in the second quarter in declining inventory levels and delays in project
deliveries. COVID-19 affected business less than expected. In January–June, net
sales decreased by 8 percent from previous year to EUR 7.0 million (7.6). The
Cargo handling business accounts for 19 percent of group net sales (22).

Nurminen Logistics nominated a new operative management board in June. The
operative management board enables the improvement of the service level and
efficiency. It will support especially the development of fast-growing China
rail service business.

Net sales for the Russian company and its profitability decreased year-on-year
in the first half of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic did not affect operations
directly. In June, Olga Stepanova joined the operative management board and took
over China rail freight service business. She was appointed Managing Director,
OOO Nurminen Logistics. Stepanova has taken part in building the cargo train
services network between China and Europe from its very beginning as Sales
Director at Russian Railways. She has solid background knowledge and connections
within the market and within the vast European customer base. Her know-how in
bulk transport creates growth potential in Russian rail freight business.

In the first half of 2020, net sales of Baltic business declined and operating
profit decreased from 2019. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remained minor.
Strong export volumes supported the Lithuanian operations. The Latvian
operations’ net sales grew due to project deliveries to Russia and Central Asia.
Net sales of the Baltic business decreased by 2 percent to EUR 18.7 million
(19.2) in January–June. The business amounts to 51 percent of group net sales
(56). The profitability of the Baltic business is at a good level and the
prerequisites for business are good.

OUTLOOK

Nurminen Logistics estimates that the growth of the economy and markets will
continue to slow down due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe
that Nurminen Logistics’ China cargo train business will continue its growth.
The company’s profitability will continue to improve. Demand for the company’s
specialised logistics services will remain good on account of our expertise.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Nurminen Logistics is not issuing financial guidance for 2020.

SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Any weakening in world trade and particularly weakening in Finnish exports and
imports, due to the current situation would have a negative impact on the demand
for the company’s services and the result. The company’s business development
turning out significantly weaker than expected would have a negative impact on
the company’s financial position.

A second big wave of the COVID-19 epidemic in China would affect the country’s
inland logistics, which would in turn affect feeder lines.

The growth rate of China cargo train services may slow down from what is
expected, particularly with regard to new types of shipments and new route
connections, if COVID-19 passenger travel restrictions continue or are further
tightened. The passenger travel restrictions may complicate commercial
negotiations for our clients especially considering launches of new products.

the Investors page on Nurminen Logistics’ website www.nurminenlogistics.com.

Accounting principles

The half year financial report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied are consistent with
those applied in the consolidated financial statements for 2019.

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the
reported assets and liabilities and other information, such as contingent
liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses in the statement of
income.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused Nurminen Logistics to review the estimates and
assumptions used in the preparation of the half year financial report. The
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on estimates in the financial reporting is based
on management’s best judgement. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have not
deteriorated the company’s estimates and there are no indications of impairment
of assets.

The full financial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be quantified at this
time, as it will depend on the duration, severity and pace of recovery from the
pandemic, as well as on the effectiveness of government actions in different
geographical areas.

The interim report has not been audited.



Tables and calculation formulas for indicators
