AS Tallinna Vesi´s financial results for the 2nd quarter of 2021

AS Tallinna Vesi’s sales revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was12.97 million, showing a 7.3% increase on the same period last year. The revenue was reflected by higher commercial consumption due to the easement of COVID-19 restrictions and increase in construction revenues.

Sales to private customers in the main service area decreased by 0.9% to €5.10 million, due to reduced household consumption attributable to the easement of COVID-19 restrictions.

In the main service area, the sales revenue from commercial customers increased by 17.2% to €3.46 million as a result of their consumption being higher by €0.51 million. As a result of relaxation of the pandemic restrictions the hospitality sector reopened in June, and less people were working from home.

The gross profit for the 2nd quarter of 2021 was €5.23 million, being 10.5% higher due to increased sales revenue. The operating profit was €5.20 million, having increased by €0.61 compared to the same period last year. The main factor impacting the operating profit was higher sales revenue resulting from increased consumption of commercial customers.

The net profit for the 2nd quarter of 2021 was €3.07 million, showing an increase of €2.92 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in the net profit was mainly impacted by lower dividend related tax cost, accompanied by higher operating profit and lower interest costs.

In the second quarter of 2021 the construction revenue of subsidiary Watercom increased year-on-year due to pipe and road construction procurements won during 2020 and the first half of 2021 in Tallinn and surrounding municipalities. The sales revenue from construction services for the 2nd quarter was €1.57 million, indicating a 33.8% increase compared to the same period in 2020.
