Macroeconomic development and its impact

According to the analysis of the Bank of Estonia, the Estonian economy has suffered due to a decrease in purchasing power and competitiveness. According to Statistics Estonia, the Estonian economy shrank by 1.3% last year. Compared to other European Union countries, last year was weaker for the Estonian economy in terms of growth.

Inflation reached 17.6% in February 2023. According to the Bank of Estonia's forecast, inflation will slow down to 10% by mid-year and to around 4% by the end of the year. (Source: https://haldus.eestipank.ee/sites/default/files/2023-03/rpm_2023_1_est.pdf)

The inflation outlook is too high for too long across the EU. According to Eurostat's flash estimate, inflation was 7.0% in April.

Although most long-term inflation expectations indicators are currently around 2%, some indicators have risen and require ongoing monitoring.

The war between Russia and Ukraine has not affected the company's operations. The company's operations are not directly related to the Estonian economy, as most suppliers and customers are located outside Estonia, but are more related to EU trends. In the coming year, operating costs may increase due to ongoing inflation and wage costs may also increase due to indexing. In the fiscal year 2022/2023, wages were increased by about 10%.

Risks

The company's operations are not seasonal, customer payment behavior has so far been very good. The company has no loans or leases. Most transactions with customers and suppliers are in euros, which mitigates possible currency risk.

The main problem, according to the management, is the lack of IT specialists in the Estonian market. To solve this problem, the company involves various recruitment agencies that search for specialists around the world. According to the company's policy, all foreign specialists are brought to Estonia on site, the company does not have non-resident employees.

The operation does not have a significant social or environmental impact.
