NURMINEN LOGISTICS PLC’S INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2014
The continuation of the crisis in Ukraine and decreasing import and export

As of 1 January 2014, Nurminen Logistics reports on three business units:
Railway Logistics, Special Transports and Projects, and Forwarding and Value
Added Services. In 2013, the company reported on four business units. At the
end of 2013, the Transit Logistics business unit was merged into the Forwarding
and Value Added Services unit.
The company's internal reporting and segment breakdown of external reporting
have been amended as stated in the stock exchange release published on 7 August
2014. The Luumäki railway terminal and the Finnish railway forwarding
operations were transferred from the Railway Logistics business unit to the
Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit. Business operations will be
reported according to the new business unit structure as of the second quarter
of the financial period 1 January 2014 - 31 December 2014.
OLLI POHJANVIRTA, PRESIDENT AND CEO:
“The company's operating ability remained good in all business units during the
review period. Our Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit succeeded
in increasing our market share in export and import services in Finland despite
the declining overall market. Moreover, our market share in special transports
also increased in a challenging market situation. In the railway logistics
business, net sales and result decreased along with a decrease in customers'
volumes due to the tightening international political situation in Russia and
the end of traffic to Ukraine, although our net sales increased in Russian's
internal market and operations developed favourably. The company continued
efficiency measures related to its cost structure during the second quarter,
keeping the cash flow from operating activities before changes in working
capital positive in spite of the declining market. Supported by our good
clientele and operational expertise, we continued the development of our
service products in railway logistics and project businesses in particular.
This development will be continued by opening an office in Moscow on 1
September 2014. Our Moscow office will focus on developing the project business
and Russia's internal railway traffic and railway traffic through Russia to
China. We are now investing strongly in competent personnel, which is our most
important resource for growth in our operating areas once the international
political situation clears up,” says President and CEO Olli Pohjanvirta.
MARKET SITUATION IN THE REVIEW PERIOD
The second quarter of 2014 was similar to the first in terms of market
conditions, even though the tightening of the international political situation
around Russia further impaired railway traffic volumes in particular.
Traffic from Finland to Russia was at a particularly low level in railway
logistics, and the company believes the decrease in volumes to be over.
Ukrainian traffic was still at a standstill. The company's volumes increased in
the Russian internal market, and business activities developed positively in
spite of a temporary overcapacity of rolling stock in the market.
The uncertainty in the world economy and the tightening of financial markets
were reflected particularly in demand in the special transport and project
market, which remained weak. The company's market share in special transports
increased and it succeeded in securing new clients in Finland. The volumes of
international project deliveries by the engineering industry continue to be
low. Fluctuations of the Russian rouble and the crisis in Ukraine began to
affect the demand for transports in Russia and the CIS towards the end of the
review period. Competition remained intense and price levels in the market
fluctuated considerably.
The Forwarding and added-value services succeeded in improving net sales and
the operating result in spite of the decrease in total exports and imports in
Finland causing increasingly intensive price competition. Volumes in the pulp,
paper and forest industry were on a par with the comparison period, while those
of the engineering and metal industries fluctuated substantially. Market demand
for transit logistics to Russia through Finland was weaker than in the
comparison period, and price competition was tight. The demand for services in
Latvia and Lithuania and their volumes were clearly better than the comparison
period.
NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2014
The net sales for the review period amounted to EUR 28.3 million (2013: EUR
32.7 million), which represents a decrease of 13.6% compared to 2013. The
reported operating result was EUR -349 (1,454) thousand. The operating result
includes non-recurring items of EUR -174 (-202) thousand. The comparative
operating result was therefore EUR -174 (1,655) thousand. The operating result
of the comparison period was improved by gains made from the sales of used
rolling stock.
The non-recurring items in the review period were related to reductions in
personnel. The cost reduction measures under the profit improvement programmes
announced in autumn 2013 and during the review period progressed as planned.
The depreciation of the Russian rouble during the review period decreased the
company's financial items by EUR 0.1 million. This exchange rate loss had no
cash flow impact.
Railway Logistics
The Railway Logistics business unit's net sales for the review period amounted
to EUR 10,118 (2013: 15,280) thousand and the operating result was EUR 504
(3,326) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR -85
(-83) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 589 (3,408)
thousand.The operating result of the comparison period was improved by gains
made from the sales of used rolling stock. The net sales and operating result
of Railway Logistics declined during the first quarter compared to the
corresponding period in the previous year due to a significant decrease in
transport volumes in traffic between Finland and Russia and the temporary
interruption in deliveries to Ukraine. The volumes of traffic from Finland to
Russia remained low during the second quarter. The lower prices and faster
delivery times of road transports have resulted in transports shifting from
rail to road. We succeeded in securing new direct clients in internal
transports in Russia, but Russia's internal traffic does not compensate for the
decrease in transport volumes from Finland to Russia for the time being.
Special Transports and Projects
The Special Transports and Projects business unit's net sales for the review
period amounted to EUR 4,561 (3,986) thousand and the operating result was EUR
202 (-74) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring items of EUR 0
(-12) thousand. The comparative operating result was therefore EUR 202 (-62)
thousand.
The success in securing orders increased net sales significantly in spite of
the difficult market conditions. The result improved substantially due to
higher volumes and the profit improvement programme launched in late 2013.
Several project delivery start-ups will take place during the second half of
2014, provided that the crisis in Ukraine does not deteriorate the situation.
Intensified customer acquisition in the project business in Russia will be
reflected in the company's order books in the near future.
Forwarding and Value Added Services
The net sales of the Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit for the
review period amounted to EUR 13,959 (13,669) thousand and the operating result
was EUR -1,055 (-1,798) thousand. The operating result includes non-recurring
items of EUR -89 (-107) thousand. The comparative operating result was
therefore EUR -966 (-1,692) thousand.
The Forwarding and Value Added Services business unit was successful in
increasing the efficiency of its operations during the period under review. The
business unit's net sales remained unchanged, but the operating result showed a
significant year-on-year improvement. At the Vuosaari terminal, volumes in the
pulp, paper and forest industry increased, while those of the engineering and
metal industries fluctuated substantially during the period. The demand for the
services of the Baltic companies increased, and their results improved
significantly year-on-year. The development of volumes in the Forwarding and
Value Added Services is expected to continue to be slightly better during the
third quarter compared to the previous year. The operational development
measures and cost-savings carried out in the unit during the first half of the
year are expected to increase the business unit's result further. The
operational loss of the Vuosaari logistics centre was EUR -0.6 (-1.0) million
in the period under review. The high rental level of the Vuosaari logistics
centre has a significant negative effect on the otherwise good operating
result.

NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 1 APRIL - 30 JUNE 2014
The net sales for the second quarter amounted to EUR 14.1 million (2013: EUR
16.0 million), which represents a decrease of 11.6% compared to 2013. The
reported operating result was EUR -372 (1,621) thousand. The operating result
for the second quarter was impaired by unrealised exchange rate losses
resulting from the strengthening of the Russian rouble. The operating result of
the comparison period was improved by gains made from the sales of used rolling
stock.
The strengthening of the Russian rouble during the second quarter increased the
company's financial income by EUR 0.2 million. This exchange rate profit had no
cash flow impact.
The net sales and result of railway logistics decreased significantly
year-on-year due to low volumes of traffic from Finland to Russia. Slower
loading at the Finnish terminals slowed down the rotation of the rolling stock,
thereby affecting the business unit's financial situation. Loading volumes
remained at an average level in Russia's internal market, but the profitability
of long transport distances decreased due to the lack of return freight. The
volume of project loads transported by rail decreased after the first quarter,
which was reflected in the net sales for the second quarter. The operating
result of the comparison period was improved by gains made from the sales of
used rolling stock.
The net sales of the Special Transports and Projects increased slightly
compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The result improved significantly
as a result of the profit improvement programme which was carried out.
Net sales increased year-on-year in forwarding and added value services, and
their operating result improved. Considering the general economic situation,
the profit development of the unit was good during the period under review. The
operational loss of the Vuosaari logistics centre for the second quarter
amounted to EUR -0.3 (2013: -0.3) million. The high rental level in Vuosaari
has a significant negative effect on the centre's operating result. The
utilisation rates and results of the company's other terminals have developed
according to plan.

OUTLOOK
Nurminen Logistics expects that its key market of Russia and its neighbouring
countries will decrease in 2014 due to the continuation of the crisis in
Ukraine, but that it will again pick up quickly, especially with regard to rail
transport volumes and project transport business, when the international
political situation settles. With regard to Finnish exports and imports, the
company's market outlook is stable in 2014 based on existing customer
agreements.
Nurminen Logistics expects that both its operating result and earnings per
share will improve compared to 2013, but that its net sales will fall short of
the level of 2013 due to the decline in volumes in rail transport between
Finland and Russia resulting from the crisis in Ukraine and the sanctions
imposed on Russia.
The company's long-term goal is to grow at a faster rate than the market, on
average by over 15% per year. Going forward, over 50% of net sales will come
from the growth markets of Russia and its neighbouring countries. The company's
further long-term goals are to improve profitability, achieve an operating
profit level of 10 per cent and return on equity of 20 per cent.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The prolongation of the Ukrainian crisis long into 2015 and the Russian
financial markets subsequently becoming more difficult would have a negative
impact on the goods flows of the company's Western and Russian customers, which
in turn would significantly affect the company's result outlook.
The company has received a total of 32 subsequent levy decisions from the
National Board of Customs' Eastern District Office in Lappeenranta, which state
that the company and VG Cargo Plc, which has filed for bankruptcy, are liable
to pay import taxes from the year 2009. The company's liability for the import
taxes is, at a maximum, EUR 0.5 million. The company does not consider itself
liable for the aforementioned import taxes and has not recorded provisions for
the associated costs. If there is a case for subsequent levy, the company's
view is that the levy should primarily be directed at the bankruptcy estate of
VG Cargo Plc and be paid from its valid customs guarantee. The company has
filed an appeal with the Helsinki District Court against the subsequent levy
decisions made by the National Board of Customs.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET
The company's cash flow from operations was -2,178 thousand. Cash flow from
investments was EUR 22 thousand. Cash flow from financing activities amounted
to EUR -56 thousand.
At the end of the review period, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR
1,328 thousand. Liquidity remained satisfactory in the second quarter.
The Group's interest-bearing debt totalled EUR 23.8 million, while net
interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 22.5 million.
The balance sheet total was EUR 53.9 million and the equity ratio was 34.7%.

shut down the Niirala terminal and centralise its railway terminal operations
to Luumäki. Project deliveries through the Niirala project field will be
continued. As a result of the negotiations, Nurminen Logistics will permanently
lay off a maximum of nine people in Niirala. The lay-offs will be carried out
without delay. The company will support those being laid off to find new
employment. According to preliminary estimates, Nurminen Logistics will record
approximately EUR 0.2 million of expenses related to the arrangement to the
first quarter of 2014. The arrangement will save EUR 0.4 million annually from
2015 onwards.
