A review of the results of Invalda LT, AB group for 9 months of 2013:
Invalda LT, one of the largest investment companies in Lithuania, earned LTL
99.5 million (EUR 28.8 million) unaudited consolidated net profit attributable
to shareholders of the Company during the first nine months of 2013. The result
was mostly determined by the accounting profit of LTL 89 million (EUR 25.8
million) which was formed in the process of the reorganisation of the Company. 
“Since the split-off  we have been working on the development of the business
model of Invalda LT, AB, and the strategies analysis of the individual Group's
businesses, “ - Darius Sulnis, the president of Invalda LT, AB, said. 

The furniture manufacturing sector

percent from LTL 26.9 million (EUR 7.8 million) to LTL 16.3 million (EUR 4.7
million). 
We consider the company's results as moderate. Due to the changes in the range
of production in 2013, Vilniaus Baldai has been modifying its capacity and
production process. It requires a variety of internal changes and investments
and should substantially increase the potential scale and competiveness of the
company. 2014 should show how Vilniaus Baldai, AB reveals its potential“, - Mr.
Sulnis, said. 
The shareholders of Vilniaus Baldai on 16 September 2013 decided to allocate

recorded in the real estate sector.

results of this sector” - Mr. Sulnis, said.

million (EUR 7.4 million), net profit  - by 13 percent to LTL 15.6 million (EUR
4.5 million).

in grain prices in the global market as well as a lower yield compared to 2012
had a negative effect on the results“,- Mr. Sulnis, said.

UAB, Jurita, UAB and Naujosios Vilnios Turgaviete, UAB has earned LTL 1.1
million (EUR 0.3 million). 
„The good result was influenced by the one-time sale of the construction
company. We are satisfied with the result of the last few months of the sector,
which was stemmed by cost reduction and targeting the profitability and quality
of services, rather than increase of the market share“, - Mr. Sulnis, said.
