's activity report 2022

Natural AS is a leading planing mill in Estonia, whose main activity is the valorization of sawn timber through sorting, drying, painting, planing, and impregnation. As a side activity, truss-roof plates are produced for the domestic market and neighboring markets. In its activities, Natural AS follows the principles of sustainable forestry and uses modern technology to ensure high quality of products and customer satisfaction. In 2022, the company employed an average of 75 people.

35% of sales turnover was sales to European Union countries (including Estonia). 65% of sales were exports outside the European Union.

Subcontracting was carried out in the fields of sorting, drying, planing, and impregnation. Also, a side activity was engaged in, which is the production of roof trusses for the domestic market (8% of total turnover)

Operating results

Similar to 2021, the goal for 2022 was to increase sales volume, procurement portfolio, and develop customer base, customer service, and logistics to ensure maximum production efficiency and customer satisfaction. The market was significantly influenced by

The Russia-Ukraine war, which significantly changed global wood supply chains. On the one hand, many procurement opportunities disappeared, but on the other hand, a lot of competing wood also disappeared. Overall, the absence of Russian and Belarusian wood has rather benefited in the current market situation, where the construction market and the timber market have been declining since the summer of 2022.

Seasonality

Winter is a time of lower sales than usual.

Environmental and social impacts

Not significant

Financial risk of financial instruments

Due to the increase in Euribor, the risk of interest rate changes is relevant, but not significant.

Investments were also made in the renovation of buildings and the construction of new asphalt squares. A new paint shop building was also built and an additional paint line was purchased to add additional value to the processed wood and increase the margin in a declining market.

Goals and key activities for 2023.

In 2023, the plan is to focus on moderate growth. Continue to balance the company's sales portfolio and hedge economic and seasonal risks. No investments are currently planned
