CEO's review
In 2025, Nurminen Logistics continued profitable growth with a strong comparable EBITA of EUR 18.3 million (16.7% of net sales) and a strong operating cash flow of EUR 20.1 million. Net sales for 2025, EUR 109.4 million, increased by 4.4% year-on-year. The business operations in Finland and Sweden grew well, both organically and driven by the acquisition of Essinge Rail Ab completed in late 2024. Several geopolitical uncertainties and the re-routing of international flows of goods had a negative impact on the Baltic business and volumes decreased significantly.
INVESTMENTS IN GROWING MARKETS
Although the economic development in the markets was weak, we were able to achieve good results in all areas and continue to invest in international growth, especially in railway logistics. We aimed for growth with our new rail transport service between the Port of Gothenburg and North-
ern Finland. The service was quickly adopted by international customers, but demand in the Finnish market remained more limited than expected. Due to this, we reassessed the growth potential of the route and decided to discontinue the service.
Our strategic solution to focus growth investments on larger markets in mainland Europe and Sweden leverages our strong railway logistics expertise and directs resources to areas where demand is growing. This demonstrates the company's courage to try new things, learn quickly and make decisions that support long-term and strong growth in the years to come.
We invested in supervisor training and language training for the entire personnel to support internationalisation. With these training courses, we strengthened leadership, team collaboration and our personnel's capabilities to operate in a multilingual and growing operating environment. We want to ensure that our committed employees have the best
We see growth increasingly coming from international markets, and our good competitiveness facilitates continued growth in logistics between Central and Northern Europe.
possible conditions to develop with the company. In Sweden, we strengthened sales and rail operations in particular. In late February, we opened our own weekly block train connection between northern Italy and Sweden. The block train transports containers, covered wagons and trailers, and the service covers a wide clientele.
HIGH-QUALITY COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE AS PART OF OUR COMPETITIVENESS
Our competitiveness is based on a good market position, extensive logistics expertise and a comprehensive route network, supported by deep customer understanding and high-quality service. We offer our customers a comprehensive service from terminal operations to door-to-door transports that we can produce competitively, flexibly scaling capacity. Our growing train operations in Finland were among the most punctual and efficient in the industry with a delivery reliability of 96%. Good and consistent quality is ensured through certified processes, training, uniform operating models and continuous monitoring of customer feedback.
IN 2026, WE WILL BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON INTERNATIONAL GROWTH
We have started 2026 from an operationally good starting point. We see growth increasingly coming from international markets, and our good competitiveness facilitates continued growth in logistics between Central and Northern Europe. Strengthening of the Swedish economy and consumer demand supports our growth. We are not yet expecting a significant turn for the better in the Baltic or Finnish markets.
Long-term agreements with several customers ensure stable profitability for the next few years. Our cash position and balance sheet will
continue to enable the implementation of growth projects and the associated controlled risk-taking.
I would like to express my warmest thanks to our dedicated and innovative personnel and thank our customers and partners for their trust. This year, we are celebrating the 140th anniversary of Nurminen Logistics, which reminds us of our unique heritage and our duty to move boldly towards new entries, growth and future opportunities.

Report on Operations
In 2025, Nurminen Logistics continued profitable growth with a strong comparable EBITA of EUR 18.3 million (16.7% of net sales) and a strong operating cash flow of EUR 20.1 million. Net sales for 2025, EUR 109.4 million, increased by 4.4% year-on-year. Both Finnish and Swedish business grew well organically as well as driven by the acquisition of Essinge Rail Ab at the end of 2024. Several geopolitical uncertainties and the re-routing of international flows of goods affected negatively on the development of the Baltic business and volumes decreased clearly. Although the economic development in the markets was weak, we were able to achieve good results in all areas and continue to invest in international growth, especially in railway logistics. We further strengthened our balance sheet position, which enables the implementation of our growth strategy in international traffic both organically and through acquisitions. At the end of the financial year, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 20.3 million. The Group's equity ratio was 43.9% and net debt excluding IFRS16 items in relation to EBITDA was 0.24.
In 2025, we pursued growth through a new rail transport service developed between the Port of Gothenburg and Northern Finland. The service was rapidly adopted by international customers; however, demand in the Finnish market remained more limited than anticipated. As a result, we reassessed the route's growth potential and decided to discontinue operations and write down the remaining unamortised development expenses on EUR -1.8 million.
Our strategic decision to focus growth investments on larger markets in continental Europe and Sweden leverages our strong rail logistics expertise and directs resources to areas where demand is rising. This demonstrates the company's willingness to try new things, learn quickly, and make decisions that support long-term and sustainable growth in the years ahead.
Our cash position and balance sheet will continue to support the execution of growth projects and the related controlled risk-taking, without which significant future growth, or the success story we are determined to build, would not be possible.
We see good growth prospects for our international railway business, as the expansion of our service network, the growth of our clientele and the strengthening of our brand awareness create clear prerequisites for development.
In 2025, we invested in developing the competence of our personnel through various training courses. In addition, we clarified the management structures to improve the efficiency of operations. In Sweden, we
strengthened our sales and rail operations in particular and opened an office in northern Italy. With these measures, we will create better prerequisites for international growth and open our own weekly block train connection between northern Italy and Sweden in late February. Our block train transports containers, covered wagons and trailers, and the service covers a wide clientele. We offer our customers a comprehensive service from terminal operations to door-to-door transports that we can produce competitively, flexibly scaling capacity. This entry lays down the foundation for opening similar routes elsewhere in Europe and supports international growth in the coming years.
In the traditional sense, the implementation and launch of the service corresponds to logistics construction projects.
Our growing rail operations in Finland were among the most punctual and efficient in the industry, achieving a delivery reliability of 96%.
In terminal operations in Finland, we have succeeded in significantly increasing our clientele, particularly in green transition-related electrification and data centre projects, which have good growth prospects.
We see 2026 as a stable year for our operations in Finland.
We believe that our extensive and in-depth expertise helps us to differentiate ourselves for the benefit of our customers and create tangible added value for them in the future as well. We see growth increasingly coming from international markets, and our good competitiveness facilitates continued growth in logistics between Central and Northern Europe. The fourth quarter of 2025 was operatively stronger than the comparison period, and we have been able to start 2026 from a good operational starting point. The strengthening of the Swedish economy and consumer demand supports our growth, although we do not expect a significant turnaround in the business conditions in the Baltic countries or Finland
in 2026.
Our competitiveness is based on a good market position, extensive logistics expertise and a comprehensive route network, supported by deep customer understanding and high-quality service. This lays down a strong foundation for long-term growth of shareholder value.
We would like to express our warmest thanks to our dedicated and innovative personnel and thank our customers and partners for their trust. This year, we celebrate Nurminen Logistics' 140-year history, a significant milestone that reminds us of our unique heritage and our responsibility to move forward boldly toward new initiatives, growth, and future opportunities.
MARKET SITUATION AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
Nurminen Logistics estimates that the development of the logistics market relevant to the Group will strengthen in 2026, driven particularly by the new routes and clients in Central Europe, facilitating the positive development of the Group's business in 2026. The recovery of the economy and consumer demand forecast by key institutions, particularly in Sweden, will support the demand for Nurminen Logistics' services.
We believe that the demand for rail freight in particular, which is at the heart of our strategy, will increase in the Group's target markets, supported by the increased significance of environmental values in decision-making driven by tightening regulation and our growing energy raw material transport business. The stabilisation of the interest rate environment and the improved availability of financing will support customer demand for goods and capital goods, which, supports the demand for Nurminen Logistics' services.
Nurminen Logistics has maintained its readiness to quickly launch direct rail transport between China and Finland to serve the Nordic and Central European markets. There is a clear need for this service in the market, as it offers a significant competitive advantage to the customer base.
Nurminen Logistics will continue to invest in international railway services, which we expect to be the Group's growth engine in the future. The Group's long-term agreements with several customers ensure stable profitability for the next few years. A very strong balance sheet structure, strong positive cash flow and significant liquid assets enable organic growth projects and possible acquisitions.
BUSINESS REVIEW
In 2025, we built the company's future by integrating Essinge Rail into the Nurminen Logistics brand and expanding our service offering in Europe with, for example, project transports from Czechia, Poland and Italy. In our domestic business, our focus area was continuous efficiency improvement and high delivery reliability, in which we succeeded well. Thanks to our extensive clientele, strong expertise, European terminal network and the available wagon pool, we are able to grow the business quickly and with capital lightness. This is reflected in the railway business, where net sales have continued to grow by double-digit percentages and profitability has improved by three-digit percentages. With these investments, we will enable the transport of significant volumes to a wider market area. We see strong growth potential particularly in container transports within the Central European rail market, which is valued at approximately EUR 17 billion, compared with about EUR 300 million in Finland. In addition, we are maintaining the readiness to launch rail transport between the Nordics and China in the future to meet existing customer demand.
In 2025, cash flow from operating activities was very strong, reaching EUR 20.1 million (EUR 11.9 million), which increased our liquid assets to EUR 20.3 million (EUR 16.3 million) at the end of the financial year. We continued to strengthen the Group's balance sheet and raised new loans in the amount of EUR 3 million, while repaying existing loans in the amount of EUR 6.3 million. The Group's equity ratio was 43.9% (40.7%), net gearing declined to 50.2% (71.7%) and interest-bearing net debt to EBITDA was 0.87. Return on equity was 15.6% (30.0%).
Our otherwise good growth rate was weakened by geopolitical challenges affecting the Baltic businesses, which meant a decrease of EUR
-16.8 million in net sales compared to the comparison period. However, the decline in net sales in the Baltic countries was successfully offset in the Group's other business areas and the full-year growth was EUR 4.6 million, or 4.4%.
FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR +20.1 million. October-December accounted for EUR +6.0 million of the cash flow from operating activities. The change in working capital accounted for EUR
+1.3 million of the cash flow from operating activities. Cash flow from investments was EUR -6,8 million. Net cash flow from investing activities was mainly affected by payments related to acquired businesses.
Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -9.3 million, with the largest items being EUR 3.0 million in withdrawals of non-current loans, EUR -3.2 million in repayments of non-current loans, EUR -2.4 million in repayments of capital, EUR -3.7 million in dividends paid to non-con-trolling interests and in repayments of capital and EUR -3.0 million in payments related to lease liabilities.
At the end of the review period, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 20.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents attributable to the Baltic operations amounted to EUR 3.1 million.
The valuation of assets in the financial statements is based on the going concern assumption and market prices, and the assets do not involve a risk of write-downs at the time of closing the accounts. The Group management estimates that the cash flow will cover the current business needs and liabilities for the next 12 months.
The Group's interest-bearing net debt excluding IFRS 16 liabilities amounted to EUR 6.0 million. The liabilities according to IFRS 16 amounted to EUR 15.5 million and relate to business premises leased by the company's business units.
The Group's current interest-bearing liabilities, a total of EUR 10.4 million, consist of a liability of EUR 3.1 million related to a business acquisition, bank loans, and IFRS lease liabilities of EUR 3.5 million. Short-term financial liabilities include EUR 3.9 million of loans taken from financial institutions and EUR 3.1 million of liabilities related to the acquisition of Essinge Rail AB. Non-current interest-bearing liabilities are EUR
31.4 million, EUR 19.4 million of which consists of long-term debt and EUR 12.0 million is related to IFRS 16 lease liabilities.
Long-term financial liabilities amount to EUR 31.4 million. Long-term loans include a loan of EUR 0.9 million taken out by Nurminen Logistics Plc from Finnvera, a loan of EUR 1.3 million taken out by Nurminen Logistics Plc from Ilmarinen, a loan of EUR 5.3 million taken out by Nurminen Logistics Plc from Danske Bank and a loan of EUR 11.8 million taken out by North Rail Oy from Hoplon Opportunities Fund II SCSp.
The Group's equity amounted to EUR 42.7 million at the end of the year, while it was EUR 41.2 million at the end of the previous financial period. The equity ratio remained at a good level at 43.9% (40.7%). The balance sheet total was EUR 97.3 million (101.5).
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The Group's gross capital expenditure during the review period amounted to EUR 1.4 million (EUR 2.0 million), accounting for 1.3% (1.9%) of net sales.

Based on the authorisation, the Board of Directors is entitled to issue or transfer, either by one or several resolutions, shares and/or special rights up to a maximum equivalent of 15,000,000 new shares so that
aforesaid shares and/or special rights could be used, for example, for the financing of company and business acquisitions or for financing other business arrangements and investments, for the expansion of the ownership structure, paying of remuneration of the Board members and/or for the creating incentives for, or encouraging commitment in, personnel. The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on the share issue with or without payment. The authorisation for deciding on a share issue without payment also includes the right to decide on the share issue for the company itself, so that the authorisation may be used in such a way that in total no more than one-tenth (1/10) of all shares in the company may from time to time be held by the company and its subsidiaries. The authorisation includes the Board of Director's right to decide on all other terms and conditions of the share issues and the issues of special rights. The authorisation entitles the Board of Directors to decide on share issues, issues of option rights and other special rights entitling to shares in every way to the same extent as could be decided by the General Meeting, including the Board of Director's right to decide on directed
share issues and/or issue of special rights.
The authorisation remains valid until the end of the Annual General Meeting of 2026, but no longer than until 30 June 2026. The authorisation revokes any previous share issue authorisations currently valid.
AUDITOR
Ernst & Young Oy was elected as the auditor of the company for the term ending at the close of the Annual General Meeting 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Nurminen Logistics seeks environmentally friendly and efficient transport solutions as part of the development of its services. Research shows that the container train to China is the most ecological method of transporting goods between China and Europe.
All services provided by the company in Finland are covered by a certified environmental management system that meets the requirements of the ISO 14001:2004 standard.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES
The company's Board of Directors has defined the Group's long-term financial targets for 2025-2027 based on the Group's updated strategy confirmed in 2025: EBITA % over 13%, equity ratio over 40%, Gearing under 80%, net debt / EBITDA under 2 and growing euro-denominated dividends.
The financial targets for 2025-2027 have been defined taking into account the sustainable growth of shareholder value. In addition, the domestic and international growth prospects of the railway business in Finland and readiness for acquisitions in Finland and abroad have been taken into account.
FINANCIAL GUIDANCE 2026
The Group estimates that the net sales and comparable operating profit for the first half of 2026 will fall short of the comparison period, as the timing of the recovery of the Baltic business is still uncertain. In addition, the effects of our investments in growing the business in Central Europe are expected to be seen only from the second quarter onwards. We will specify the guidance for the financial year in connection with the publication of the half-year financial report on 24 July 2026.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The weakening of Europe's economy from the current situation caused by geopolitical uncertainties and the continuation of international conflicts may have a negative impact on the demand for the Group's services and thereby on the result. Should Finland's or Sweden's foreign trade decrease further, it will have impacts on the demand for services. In the railway business, food supply-related fertilisers critical to the world or metals required for the green transition being subjected to sanctions would have a negative impact on the railway business in the EU. The Group does not see that risks related to climate change, such as extreme weather events, would affect Nurminen Logistics' business. More detailed information about the risk information of the Group can be found on the Investors page on Nurminen Logistics' website at https://www.nurminen-logistics.com/investors/.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements, IFRS
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES FOR THE
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP
The business idea of Nurminen Logistics is to provide and produce high-quality and customer competitiveness increasing logistics services in Finland and regular international railway line services. The Group's parent company is Nurminen Logistics Plc. The parent company' is domiciled in Helsinki, Finland, and its registered address is Satamakaari 24, 00980 Helsinki, Finland. The parent company is listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Stock Exchange.
Copies of the consolidated financial statements are available on the internet at https://www.nurminenlogistics.com. The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 11 March 2026. According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders have the right to approve or reject the financial statements in the Annual General Meeting held after the publication of the financial statements. The Annual General Meeting also has the right to decide to amend the financial statements.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved in European Union, in accordance with the IAS and IFRS standards and SIC and IFRIC interpretations effective on 31 December 2025. International Financial Reporting Standards are standards and interpretations adopted for application in the European Union in accordance with the procedure laid down in regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and Council. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in accordance with the Finnish legislation on accounting and entities complementing the IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared for the calendar year, which is also the financial year of the parent company and Group companies.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are presented in thousands of euro and the figures are rounded off to the nearest thousand, so the sum of individually presented figures can deviate from the disclosed sums.
APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED IFRS STANDARDS
There were no changes to the IFRS standard in the reporting period beginning on 1 January 2025 that would have a significant impact on Nurminen Logistics' consolidated financial statements.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION SUBSIDIARIES
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Nurminen Logistics Plc and those of all its subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are entities controlled by the parent company. Nurminen Logistics Plc controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable
returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries acquired are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Acquired subsidiaries are accounted for by using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred, identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity and are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests and previously held equity interests in the acquiree, over the Group's share of the fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date.
The consideration transferred includes any assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer, measured at fair value. Any contingent consideration related to the business combination is measured at fair value at the acquisition date and it is classified as either liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as liability is remeasured at its fair value at each balance sheet date and the subsequent changes to fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not subsequently remeasured. The consideration transferred does not include any transactions accounted for separately from the acquisition, which are treated in conjunction with the acquisition in profit or loss. All acquisition-related costs, with the exception for costs to issue debt or equity securities, are expensed in the periods in which costs are incurred and services rendered.
All intra-group transactions, receivables and liabilities as well as unrealised gains and profit distribution are eliminated in the consolidation. Non-controlling interests are presented as a separate item under equity.
NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Changes in the parent company's ownership interest in a subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions if the parent company retains control over the subsidiary.
The result for the financial year and items recognised in other comprehensive income are allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is allocated to the equity holders of the parent company and non-controlling interests, even if that results in a deficit balance, unless non-controlling interests have an exemption not to meet obligations which exceed non-controlling interests' investment. Equity attributable to the non-controlling interest is presented separately under equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
ASSOCIATES
Associates are companies in which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence generally arises when the Group holds 20 to 50 per cent of a company's voting power or the Group otherwise has significant influence but not power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity. Associates are consolidated using the equity method. When the Group's share of an associate's losses exceeds the carrying amount of the interest, the interest is recognised at zero value in the balance sheet and recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has committed to settle the associate's obligations. Investment in an associate includes goodwill arisen on acquisition. Unrealised gains resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The Group's share of an associate's result for the financial year is disclosed separately after financial items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
Items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary in the Group are determined using the currency reflecting the primary economic environment of that subsidiary ("the functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euro which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent company and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign currency transactions of the Group companies are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated using the balance sheet date exchange rates and non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost are translated using the transaction date exchange rates. Gains and losses arising from the translation are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, income and expenses for the income statements and for the statements of comprehensive income of those foreign Group companies whose functional currency is not euro, are translated into euro by using the average exchange rate for the financial year and the balance sheets are translated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Translation differences arising from such translation are recognised in equity. Retranslating the result and the total comprehensive income for the financial year using different exchange rates for the statement of comprehensive income and for the balance sheet causes a translation difference recognised in Group's equity, the change in this translation difference is recognised under other comprehensive income. Respectively, foreign currency differences arising from the elimination of the costs of foreign subsidiaries, and from the retranslation of post-combination equity components in subsequent periods, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or is otherwise disposed of, in part or in full, the accumulated foreign currency differences are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss on sale for the disposed part.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Items of property, plant and equipment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost includes all expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the carrying amount of the asset. Subsequent costs are recognised in the carrying amount of the item only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are the following:
Buildings 30-40 years
Transport equipment 5-8 years Machinery and equipment 3-10 years Locomotives 30 years
Locomotive parts 5-12 years
ICT equipment 3 years
Software 5-10 years
Land is not depreciated.
Recognition of depreciation on an item of property, plant and equipment is discontinued when the item is classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 standard. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Gains and losses on the disposal of assets are reported as the difference between selling price and carrying amount, and the gains and losses are included in other operating income and expenses in the income statement.
Useful lives and residual values are reviewed at every balance sheet date. Changes in the future economic benefits to be received from the items of property, plant and equipment are accounted for by adjusting the useful lives and residual values of the items in question. Gains and losses arising from sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment are included in other operating income or in other operating expenses.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL
Goodwill arising on business combinations is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of non-con-trolling interest in the acquiree and the value of any previously held equity interest over the fair value of the acquired net assets.
Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested at least annually for impairment. Goodwill is carried at historical cost less accumulated impairment losses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research costs are expensed in the financial year in which they are incurred. Development costs are capitalised when certain criteria are met.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
An intangible asset is recognised in the balance sheet only if its cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.
An intangible asset is measured at historical cost less amortisation and any impairment losses. Group's intangible assets include mainly IT software which is amortised on a straight-line basis over 5 to 7 years.
IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
The Group assesses, at every balance sheet date, if there are any indications of impairment of property, plant and equipment or intangible assets. In case such indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.
As to goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at least annually irrespective of whether indications of impairment exist. Impairment is assessed at a cash-generating unit level, i.e. at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable, mainly independent cash flows. In impairment testing of goodwill, the recoverable amount is based on value in use,
i.e. on the estimated discounted future net cash flows.
At the recognition of the impairment loss the asset's useful life is re-es-timated. The recognised impairment loss is reversed if the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount have changed. The reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset. An impairment loss on goodwill is never reversed.
APPLICATION OF IFRS 9
Impairment policies are based on expected credit loss models. Impairment models apply to cash and cash equivalents, such as rental, sales and factoring receivables and loan receivables.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL ASSETS
Financial assets of Nurminen Logistics are classified according to IFRS 9 into the following categories: financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition of financial assets and is based on the business model applied by the company for the holding of financial assets and the nature of contractual cash flows.
Measurement of a financial asset at amortised cost requires the contractual cash flows to consist solely of interest and the repayment of principal (the so-called SPPI criterion). Compliance with the SPPI criterion is assessed on a per-instrument basis. If the SPPI criterion is not met, financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are classified as current assets if they have a maturity of less than 12 months and are expected to be disposed of within 12 months. Otherwise, the item is presented as non-current assets. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount of the financial assets in the case of an item measured at amortised cost. Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised on the settlement date. The fair values of financial instruments are determined using discounted cash flows.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AT AMORTISED COST
An item of financial assets is measured at amortised cost if the business model requires the collection of fixed or predetermined cash flows. They consist of repayments of capital and interest on capital and arise when the Group provides loans or provides products and services directly to debtors. If an item of financial assets does not meet the above conditions, it is measured at fair value. The Group typically recognises rental, factoring and trade receivables as well as loan receivables at amortised cost.
CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
In accordance with IFRS 9, Nurminen Logistics recognises expected credit losses on cash classified at amortised cost. According to this model, expected loan losses based on an individual counterparty default risk assessment. The Group uses a simplified method for recognising credit losses permitted by the standard, in which case the Group recognises the expected credit loss over the life of the contract. The change in expected credit losses recorded at each reporting date reflects the change in the credit risk of the financial assets from the initial recognition. A credit loss transaction is no longer required to record a credit loss. Recognising the amount of expected credit loss and a proactive provision for impairment is based on the management's best estimate of future credit losses. Customer receivables and the related credit loss risk are actively monitored by the company, and decisions on measures to secure the receivables are made, if necessary. When the amount of provision for credit loss is estimated on a case-by-case basis, any collateral or insurance, the customer's financial position and previous payment behaviour are taken into consideration.
Financial assets are derecognised when the Group loses its contractual right to receive cash flows or when it has transferred a significant part of the risks and rewards of ownership. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, depending on the item, either in other operating expenses or in financial items.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and bank accounts as well as highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date.
FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The financial liabilities of Nurminen Logistics are classified to the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost (other financial liabilities). The former category includes derivatives entered into by the Group, to which hedge accounting is not applied and that are not financial guarantee contracts. They are classified as held-for-trading instruments. The financial liabilities in this category are initially measured at fair value and are subsequently re-measured at their fair values. Gains and losses arising from derivatives' fair value changes, both unrealised and realised, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur. Fair values are determined by discounting the instruments' cash flows.
Other financial liabilities are measured at fair value upon initial recognition. Transaction costs are included in the original carrying amount. Subsequently other financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
A financial liability is classified as current if the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. A financial liability (or part of the liability) is not derecognised until the liability has ceased to exist, that is, when the obligation identified in a contract has been fulfilled or cancelled or is no longer effective.
REVENUE RECOGNITION PRINCIPLES - ADAPTATION OF IFRS 15
The company's revenue consists mainly of forwarding services, railway transport and terminal services. The company also receives income from short- and long-term warehousing services. Revenue is recognised as goods are assigned to customer or service is concluded: as performance obligations are met and customer obtains the goods or services within the performance obligation. Revenue is recognised with the same price that the company expects to be entitled to, with sales taxes and other possible compensations deducted from the price. The prices for compa-ny's services are fixed and generally contain no variable components.
The Baltic subsidiaries act as freight brokers, and net sales are recognised when the performance obligation has been fulfilled, i.e. the services have been performed.
Revenue recognition principles have been described below:
Railway services
The company provides international railway transport services with various types of wagons in which the goods are delivered to destination. The contract price of trains or containers en route at the end of the reporting period is recognised as revenue over time, corresponding to the time en route on the closing date relative to the total delivery time. The recognition principles applies to rail transport offered by international railway operations and North Rail Oy. The service is a singular contract obligation, which includes transport service to the destination, and the contract price is allocated in full to that obligation.
The principle of revenue recognition is based on the IFRS 15 criterion that the performance obligation is fulfilled over time when performing a transport service.
Forwarding
Forwarding service agreement consists of actions necessary for importing, exporting and customs duties. As whole they compile the performance obligation towards customer, which is usually concluded within a month from the signing of the agreement. The company recognises revenue from agreement price when the delivery orders connected to import or export have been received and authority over the goods is transferred to customer or other party. The entire contract price is allocated to a single performance obligation.
Terminal services
Terminal services consist of handling of goods at the arrival or departure of goods. The definite content of service is defined at contract level. Terminal service agreement is an entity to which the contract price is allocated. The contract price is recognised when the work on handling goods has been completed.
Warehousing services:
Warehousing services consist of renting space from terminal or terminal area for short or long term holding of goods. The warehousing agreement is an entity to which the contract price is allocated. Profits from warehous-
ing services are recognised over the time during the lease period for which the customer benefits from the service. Lease income is processed according to IFRS 15 standard when the customer is not given control over the leased space.
CONTRACTUAL AMOUNTS RECOGNISED ON THE BALANCE SHEET
Trade receivables
Trade receivable is a transaction price to which the company has an unconditional right
Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are typically from 14 to 60 days, corresponding to the average payment terms.
Contract assets or contract liabilities Due to the nature of the business, the company does not have contract assets or contract liabilities.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
PENSION ARRANGEMENTS
The pension arrangements of Nurminen Logistics have been classified as defined contribution plans.
Payments to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period to which they relate. In defined contribution plans the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts in case the separate entity receiving the contributions fails to pay out the pension benefits.
Defined benefit pension plans are insured by a life insurance company, and in addition to the old-age pension benefit, the additional pension insurance covers any survivor's pension benefit and burial grant benefit. Additional defined benefit pension obligations are measured based on calculations by independent actuaries. According to the measurement principles, assets are measured at fair value on the closing date, costs according to the calculation method and recognised in profit or loss, in addition interest is recognised in financial items and actuarial gains and losses caused by the remeasurement of the defined benefit net debt in comprehensive income, and these items will not subsequently be reclassified in profit or loss. The defined benefit pension plan is described in more detail in Note 23.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
Starting from 2022, Nurminen Logistics has two share-based incentive programmes for the company's key personnel: Performance Share Plan 2022-2026 and Restricted Share Plan 2022-2026, and starting from 2023, the CEO Performance Share plan 2023-2027. More details on the share-based incentive schemes are presented in Note 22.
The rewards will be paid partly in Nurminen Logistics shares and partly in cash. The cash proportions of the rewards are intended for covering taxes and tax-related expenses arising from the rewards to the participants. In general, no reward is paid if the participant's employment or director contract terminates before the reward payment.
The amount of remuneration paid based on the share-based incentive scheme will be cut if the maximum value for remuneration paid for the earning periods 2022-2024 set by the Board of Directors is reached.
The Nurminen Logistics Management Team member is obliged to hold 50 per cent of the received net reward shares, until the total value of the Management Team member's shareholding in Nurminen Logistics equals to 50 per cent of their annual base salary of the preceding year. Respec-
tively, the CEO is obliged to hold 50 per cent of the received net reward shares, until CEO´s shareholding in Nurminen Logistics equals to 100 per cent of the CEO´s annual base salary of the preceding year. Such number of Nurminen Logistics shares must be held as long as the membership in the Management Team or the position as the CEO continues. Share-based transactions paid in cash include arrangements in which the company has granted the persons a right to future cash payments by granting them a right to shares that can be redeemed at the request of either the company or the employee. A liability resulting from such an arrangement is measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and on the day of settling the debt, and changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for the period in question. The benefits granted in the scheme are measured at fair value upon granting and expensed
in the income statement over the vesting period.
INCOME TAXES
The income tax expense in the statement of comprehensive income comprises the current tax, adjustments to previous periods' taxes as well as changes in deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to other comprehensive income or equity, while income taxes are recognised within the respective items. Current tax is calculated based on taxable income using tax rates enacted in each country.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated for temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities used for taxation purposes and the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes under IFRS. The principal temporary differences arise from financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and depreciation related to component accounting. Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate that has been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position in full.
TANGIBLE ASSETS AND LEASES
IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise all leases in the balance sheet on a right-of-use basis. Leased assets are treated during the lease term on the same basis as owner-occupied assets and the right-of-use assets recognised for them on the balance sheet are amortised based on the defined lease term. The debt based on the present value of the rent is reduced as the rent is paid. The group's right-of-use assets are comprised of the IFRS 16 lease liabilities concerning land and water areas, buildings and machinery and equipment.
Because of its industry and business model, Nurminen Logistics primarily is the lessee in the contracts. The company primarily applies the standard to leases on land areas, premises and terminal properties, as well as terminal machinery and equipment. In determining the term of a lease, the company has exercised discretion in estimating the probability of exercising the extension options of leases and included the terms covered by the option in the term of the lease, if exercising the option is reasonably certain.
Leases are distinguished from service contracts using a control model. When the arrangement includes a specific asset that is under the control of the customer, it is a lease. The contract is recognised in the balance sheet as a non-current asset and a liability arising therefrom. Service
contracts are recognised as an expense in the income statement.
LEASE LIABILITIES
At the commencement date of the agreement, Nurminen Logistics values the lease liability at the present value of the rent outstanding at that date. Payments include fixed rentals and residual value guarantees less any available lease incentives. The company considers lease termination charges as part of the lease payments if it has considered the option to terminate during the lease term. VAT is not included in the amount of the lease liability and management and maintenance fees and other payments of a service nature are generally treated as an expense that cannot be capitalised in the balance sheet. Interest expenses are recognised through profit or loss over the term of the lease and the right-of-use asset is amortised using the straight-line method over the term of the lease
Rents are discounted using the company's estimated incremental borrowing rate. The standard defines the incremental borrowing rate as the interest that the lessee would have to pay on borrowing for the same period and with similar collateral to acquire the asset at the cost of the underlying asset.
RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS
Nurminen Logistics records the lease at the commencement date of the lease, i.e. the date on which the lessor transfers the asset to the control of the company. The property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any subsequent revaluation of the lease liability. The original cost equals the original lease liability. The right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing.
APPLICATION OF FACILITATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS
Nurminen Logistics does not treat short-term leases of less than 12 months or low value assets as property, plant and equipment, but recognises the resulting rental expense in the income statement. Contracts of minor value primarily include IT and office hardware, company cars and small office spaces. Fixed-term leases are dealt with by the company within the term of a non-cancellable lease term and are subject to any subsequent option periods when the company has reasonable assurance that they will be exercised. The management exercises discretion in assessing the term of leases valid until further notice, which is based on the company's strategic situation and market conditions, as well as the costs that would be incurred if the leased commodity was replaced by another commodity.
Leases in which Nurminen Logistics is the lessor are operating leases and are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The remaining liabilities for leases that do not include property, plant and equipment assets and lease liabilities are disclosed in Note 27 as off-balance sheet liabilities.
OPERATING PROFIT
The operating profit is the total of sales and other operating income from which expenses for material and services, employee benefits and other operating expenses as well as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses on non-current assets are subtracted. Foreign currency differences arising from working capital items are included in the operating result, whereas foreign currency differences from financial assets and financial
liabilities are included in financial income and expenses.
ACCOUNTING POLICIES REQUIRING MANAGEMENT
DISCRETION AND KEY UNCERTAINTIES ASSOCIATED WITH ESTIMATES
The preparation of IFRS financial statements requires the company's management to make certain estimates and assumptions and discretion in the application of accounting principles. The estimates and assumptions made affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as well as the income and expenses in the income statement.
In business combinations fair values of the items of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are estimated and the depreciation and amortisation periods for the assets are determined. The determination of fair value of intangible assets is based on estimates about future cash flows to be generated by these assets.
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually. Management's judgment must be used in determining the cash-generating units for goodwill testing. The recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units are determined based on value in use. The preparation of these calculations requires use of estimates. In calculation of value in use estimates are made about future cash flows and discount rate to be used. Estimates are based on budgets and forecasts, which contain some degree of uncertainty.
Business acquisitions may result in an advantageous deal when the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the time of acquisition is greater than the consideration given. The gain on the advantageous deal is recognised through profit or loss at the acquisition date.
The recognition and measurement of deferred taxes requires the company's management to make estimates, especially in the case of a deferred tax asset recognised based on the Group companies' losses or another temporary difference for which a deferred tax asset is recognised. Due to uncertainty regarding use of confirmed losses, the Group recognises deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet by the principle of prudence.
Property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are reviewed annually as to whether any indications exist that these assets might be impaired. If indications exist, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
Items of property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets are depreciated and amortised over their estimated useful lives. The useful lives are reviewed regularly. With regard to non-current assets held for sale, the management regularly reviews whether the criteria of IFRS 5 for probability of divestment of the asset within a 12-month period from classifying these assets as non-current assets held for sale are not met. If indications exist, the asset is derecognised from non-current assets held for sale.
Estimates made in preparing the financial statements are based on the management's best view and the information available at the balance sheet date. Estimates and assumptions are based on experience and other factors that are considered the best view in measuring such assets and liabilities, whose values cannot be derived from other sources. The estimates concerning the future are based on assumptions that are regarded as the most probable at the balance sheet date relating to the expected development of the financial environment of Nurminen Logistics and assumptions about the development of sales and cost level. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed continuously. The
realisation of estimates and assumptions and the changes in underlying factors are reviewed regularly by using both external and internal sources of information. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only the period in question. If the revision to accounting estimate affects both the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods, the revision is recognised respectively in the period in question and in future periods.
NEW AND REVISED STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS
The International Accounting Standards Board has announced the following new or revised standards and interpretations, which the Group has not yet adopted but which are estimated to have an impact on the Group's financial statements. The Group will apply each standard and interpretation as of its effective date or, if the effective date is some other date than the first day of the accounting period, as of the beginning of the financial year following the effective date. New standards and amendments to existing standards coming into effect in the fiscal year beginning on 1 January 2026 or later are the following:
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, effective from 1 January 2026. The new requirements are applied retrospectively and the effects of the amendments are recognised through profit and loss on the opening balance sheet. The changes clarify the derecognition of financial liabilities. The amendments also include an alternative accounting policy to derecognise a financial liability before the settlement date when the payment of the financial liability is made using an electronic payment system and when certain other criteria are met. The amendments clarify how to assess the characteristics of contractual cash flows of financial assets that are ESG-linked or have similar contingent characteristics. The amendments clarify how financial assets without a right of return and instruments contractually bound to them are treated. The amendments require disclosure of additional information on financial assets and liabilities whose contractual terms refer to a contingent event (including ESG-linked) and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The amendments have no material impact on Nurminen Logistics' notes on the fair value of other equity instruments measured through comprehensive income.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, effective from 1 January 2027. The standard is applied retrospectively.
The new IFRS 18 standard introduces new requirements for the presentation of the income statement. The company must classify all income and expenses in the income statement into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations, the first three of which are new categories. In addition, IFRS 18 requires the following subtotals and totals to be presented in the income statement: operating profit or loss, profit before financing and income tax, and profit or loss.
IFRS 18 also requires the presentation of new management-defined performance measures (MPM) in the financial statements. The management-defined performance measures (MPMs) are defined as a subtotal of income and expenses that the entity uses in public communications outside financial statements. The standard requires the company to present information on all performance measures defined by management in a single note.
The new standard also introduces changes to the application of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. In the indirect cash flow statement, the operating cash flow begins with the item operating profit or loss. The new
standard also removes the option that allowed classifying interest and dividend cash flows.
The adoption of IFRS 18 is expected to have an impact, in particular, on the presentation and disaggregation of information in the consolidated income statements and notes. A more detailed analysis of the impact on Nurminen Logistics Plc's financial statements will be completed in 2026.
WAR IN UKRAINE AND THE GEOPOLITICAL SITUATION
A weakening in world trade from the current situation as a consequence of the war in Ukraine may have a negative impact on the demand for the Group's services and thereby result. In addition, in the railway business, food supply-related fertilisers critical to the world or metals required for the green transition being subjected to sanctions due to the war in Ukraine might have a negative impact on the business of North Rail Oy.
As Russia's war of aggression continues in Ukraine, the demand for the Trans-Caspian route bypassing Russia has stabilised. In addition, the situation in the Red Sea, which remained tight and continued during the financial year, has increased the demand for direct rail transport between Europe and Asia.
Geopolitical factors, such as the war in the Middle East, increase the need for alternative and safe transport routes for companies. Nurminen Logistics continuously and actively develops the routes to solve custo-mers' logistical needs in changing conditions.
RISKS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE
The Group does not see that risks related to climate change, such as extreme weather events, would affect Nurminen Logistics' business.
AUDITING
The Group's interim reports and financial statements release for the 2025 financial year are unaudited.

In the financial years 2024 and 2025, the company aimed to grow with the development of a new rail transport service between Gothenburg and Northern Finland, and the development costs were capitalized on the balance sheet. Amortization of development costs began in July 2025. The service was quickly adopted by international customers, but demand in the Finnish market remained more limited than expected. Therefore, the company reassessed the growth potential of the route, and it was decided to discontinue the route and write down the unamortized development costs by EUR 1.774 million in the financial statements for 2025.

After initial recognition, the Group's cash and cash equivalents are classified as financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or at amortised cost. Financial assets at fair value are measured at level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial liabilities at fair value are measured at level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the contingent consideration has been calculated by discounting the item using the company-specific discount rate.
The following levels are used in measuring fair values:
Level 1: Fair value is determined on the basis of quotations from the market.
Level 2: Fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Fair value means the value that can be determined from the market value of parts of a financial instrument or similar financial instruments; or a value that can be determined using valuation models and methods generally accepted in the financial markets, if the market value can be reliably determined using them.
Level 3: Fair value is determined using valuation techniques in which the factors used have a significant effect on the recorded fair value and these factors are not based on observable market data.
IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and if indications of impairment exist. The recoverable amount in the impairment testing calculations is determined on the basis of value in use.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the assets allocated to a cash-generating unit, including goodwill, is higher than the unit's recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of each cash-gen-erating unit is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows of the unit.
Goodwill is allocated for cash generating units (CGUs) for impairment testing. In 2025, Nurminen Logistics Plc Group had three cash-generat-ing units (CGUs): Finnish business, Baltic business (51% majority) and Swedish business. Goodwill is allocated to business operations in Finland and Sweden.

Signals on possible depreciation of assets are regularly observed from information sources within and outside the Group. Such signals can be, for example, unexpected deviations from key assumptions in Group reporting. In addition to this the signals can be changes in competition or other circumstances in the market, or new regulations or concessions that have an impact on various business fields.
Impairment test calculations on cash flow are based budgets and strategic forecasts accepted by management from the previous five years. For the time period after this forecast period (terminal value) estimated cash flows have been defined by using long term growth forecasts. Essential assumptions having an impact on defining values in use are connected to the development of net sales and profitability, and to weighted average cost of capital (WACC) used in discounting cash flows.
For the five-year time period the cash flow has been estimated to develop according to the company's medium-term net sales and profitability goals. Sales increase and profitability level development have been estimated on the basis of recent business development and general forecasts. Terminal value is based on 1% growth in cash flow. The cash flow forecast is based on turnover and profitability forecasts made for
each business sector, which are based on the budget for the year 2026 and long-term strategy approved by management. These are influenced by the expected market development in Finland and Europe and the measures taken by the company to improve profitability.
The discount rate is based on industry average WACC after tax. The discount rate used is 10.35%. Discount rate and impairment test calculation take into account market risks and capital intensity. The cost for equity affecting on WACC is consistent with the Group's long-term targets. Net sales in the Finnish business were EUR 62.4 million and in the Swedish business 16.9 million in 2025. The net sales are expected to increase, in particular due to international cargo train traffic and domestic rail traffic in 2026. The estimated annual increase in net sales (CAGR) over the years 2026-2030 averages 5.6%. The forecast average increase in total net sales per year over the years 2026-2030 is 5.7%. The average growth of the Finnish CGU over the same period is estimated at 6.5% and the CAGR at 6.3%. The average growth of the Swedish CGU over the same period is estimated at 2.0% and the CAGR at 2.0%. The total operating margin for the underlying business is expected to be above the Group's long-term target throughout the estimation period. (The company's long-term target is above 13%). The tax rate used in the testing of the Finnish CGU is 20% and in the testing of the Swedish CGU 20.6%.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS WHEN ONE COMPONENT CHANGES:
The management estimates that the most sensitive judgements relate to changes in terminal growth, profitability and WACC.
Forecast period 2026-2030
Change
Impact of change on recoverable amount
Terminal growth -1%-point i.e. terminal growth
0%
EUR -15.2 million
WACC +1 %-point i.e. WACC 11.35%
EUR -21.4 million
EBITDA decrease 1%-point i.e. average
EBITDA 21.3%
EUR -12.7 million
Terminal growth 1%
WACC 10.35%
Average EBIT 16.2% and EBITDA 22.3%
The recoverable amounts of the Finnish CGU would decrease by EUR 14,167 thousand if the terminal growth rate is 0%, by EUR 19,729 thousand if the WACC is 1% higher and by EUR 11,040 thousand if the EBIT decreases by 1 percentage point. The recoverable amounts of the Swedish CGU would decrease by EUR 989 thousand if the terminal growth rate is 0%, by EUR 1,703 thousand if the WACC is 1% higher and by EUR 1,670 thousand if the EBIT decreases by 1 percentage point. Based on the sensitivity analyses, the management evaluates that above mentioned essential judgements would not cause a situation in which the carrying amount of cash generating units would exceed the recoverable amount, and this would not cause impairment loss on goodwill in fiscal year 2025. The cash flow estimate is 3.9 times the CGU's assets employed.

The deferred tax assets include an item of EUR 3,604 thousand associated with unused tax losses of Nurminen Logistics Plc and Nurminen Logistics Services Oy. The favourable development of efficiency measures continued during the financial year and domestic rail traffic allow the positive development of business operations. The company's management assesses based on the strategy figures and comprehensive supplementary materials that the deferred tax assets recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position will likely be used, and according to the management's estimate, the recognised deferred tax assets will be used by the end of 2029. Losses for which deferred tax assets were recognised in the 2024 financial statements, EUR 439 thousand expired and were not used in 2025. The amount of deferred tax asset recognised from these losses was EUR 66 thousand.

Directed share issue to the sellers of Essinge Rail AB as part of the purchase price payment. Since the share issue was carried out in order to complete the acquisition, there was a compelling financial reason for directing the share issue. The new shares were registered in the Finnish Trade Register on 9 January 2025.
Directed free share issue in April 2025 to pay for reward shares. There is a particularly weighty financial reason for the company to deviate from the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription right, as the issuance of shares is based on the payment of the reward of the share-based incentive plan.
Repayment of equity in May 2025.
Directed free share issue in May 2025. The company's shares have no nominal value.
The maximum share capital of the company is EUR 4,215 thousand. The company did not hold any of its own shares on 31 December 2025.
