value is understood as a sustainable balance between three
elements: return on assets, improvement of competitiveness and
responsibility to employees, society and the environment. The
growth of return on assets of the Group will be achieved through
the development - diversification of activities, development
of new economically viable projects and activities, acquisition
of enterprises, ensuring the efficiency of daily operations and
achieving the goals set by the shareholder. The Group will
contribute to the improvement of economic competitiveness by

Key operational and financial indicators
During Q 1 of 2014, the Lietuvos Energija group generated 0.25
TWh of electricity (the change of -18.4 per cent and -0.06 TWh as
compared to the result of Q1 of 2013). Reduction in the volumes
of electricity produced was mainly caused by non-performance
of the quota-based production in the first quarter of the year in
Elektrėnai complex. However, an actual decline in the reporting
period was compensated by increased volumes of electricity
generation at Kruonis Pumped Storage Power Plant and Kaunas
Hydro Power Plant.
During Q1 of this year, the Group’s electricity distribution to customers via medium and low voltage networks amounted to 2.21
TWh (-0.2 per cent, -0.004 TWh) and, compared to Q 1 of 2013,
remained stable.
Public and guaranteed electricity supply services of the Lietuvos
Energija group was 0.91 TWh (-+5.1 per cent, +0.04 TWh) during
the reporting period. The increase in the volumes of this activity
was mainly determined by higher volumes of guaranteed supply,
when a few independent electricity suppliers unexpectedly
terminated their operations at the end of 2013. Electricity sales
of the Group in the open market amounted to 0.30 TWh and
remained the same as last year.
Regardless of the impact of natural disasters (force majeure),
during Q1 of 2014, the average outage duration for each customer served (SAIDI) was equal to 15.77 minutes, while the
average number of long unplanned interruptions per customer
(SAIFI) was equal to 0.19 times. During the first three months of
this year, LESTO electricity supply quality indicators, compared
to a respective period of 2013, decreased (in Q 1 of 2013 SAIDI
amounted to 11.68 minutes, while SAIFI was 0.16 times). The main
reason for deteriorating indicators is related to different weather
conditions in the first quarter of this year compared with last
year’s first quarter.

EBITDA and net profit
In Q 1 of 2014, the Group’s EBITDA amounted to LTL 195.9 million
(+12.3 per cent, LTL +21.4 million). The growth of EBITDA of the
Lietuvos Energija group was mainly affected by more profitable
commercial activities of sale and supply of electricity and increased
revenues from guaranteed electricity supply. The EBITDA margin
of the reporting period accounted for 27.2 per cent (in Q 1 of 2013,
the EBITDA margin was 23.1 per cent).
Net profit of the Group totalled LTL 66.3 million and, compared
to the result of Q 1 of 2013 (LTL 17.7 million), increased by LTL
48.5 million. The growth of net profit of the Group essentially
reflected the dynamics of the increase of EBITDA. Net profit
results were also greatly affected by increased market price of
environmental pollution permits resulting in restored impairment
of environmental pollution permits.

At the end of Q 1 of 2014, the Group’s net financial debt amounted
to LTL 381 million (change of -13.7 per cent and LTL 60.6 million
as compared to the level of debts as at the end of 2013). During
the first quarter of this year, the level of the Group’s borrowings
increased by LTL 98 million, yet a substantial increase in cash
and current investments decreased the Group’s net financial
debt by 13.7%. Thus, in Q 1 of 2014, the Group maintained and
strengthened its financial capacity.
The current level of financial debt remains low both with respect
to revenue earned and the capital structure. The Group’s level
of financial debt, compared to average debt indicators of the
European energy companies, reflects a solid financial position of
the Group.

Review of activities of the Lietuvos Energija group includes events
from 1 January 2014 till the end of the reporting period (31 March
2014) and after the reporting period - till the day of the report.
Ensurance of quality services
The Group company LESTO serving more than 1.6 million
customers devotes great attention to the development and
modernization of electric power grid; in light of changing needs
of its customers the company is consistently expanding and
improving the services provided, thus providing both economic
and social benefits to society, increasing the reliability and quality
of electricity supply, and facilitating more rational use of electricity.
During Q 1 of 2014, LESTO connected 3 951 new consumer objects, or by 23.7 per cent more than in Q 1 of 2013. Also, LESTO
continued the redemption of electric power networks of
gardeners’ communities thus ensuring a reliable and secure
electricity supply, and carried out the projects of network
modernization co-funded from the EU structural funds - during
Q 1 the company completed works in five objects of gardeners’
communities, modernized seven transformer stations, replaced
overhead power transmission lines by cable lines.
In Q1 of 2014, LESTO replaced 38 504 units metrologically obsolete
electricity measurement devices, installed 4 291 units of electricity
measuring devices for new customers, carried out inspections
of more than 253 thousand units electricity measuring devices
and works of readings control. Investing into the modernization
and automation of electricity measuring devices, 1 487 units of
electricity measuring devices were connected to automated data
reading system during Q 1 of 2014. The automation of electricity
measuring devices allows for an automated presentation of bills
to customers for electricity volumes used during the period,
without the need for customers to declare consumed electricity
volumes themselves.
The number of LESTO customers using remote service channels
(self-service ManoElektra and customer service line 1802)
continued to grow - as at 31 March 2014 there were 422 thousand
users registered on self-service www.manoelektra.lt, while
information over the customer service line 1802 was provided to
more than 267 thousand customers, and more than 113 thousand
appeals on various issues were received and resolved. The number
of customers using various electronic payment methods increased
as well. At the end of the reporting period, about 41 per cent of
all payments for electricity consumed were made electronically.
The Group company Energijos Tiekimas is engaged in the creation
of flexible pricing services to customers. In the beginning of 2014,
the company offered to customers a pricing model linked to Nord
Pool Spot Power Exchange prices, which was selected by 200
enterprises.
13
Diversification of activities
Preparation for the supply and sale of gas, expansion into
the gas market
Diversification of activities of the Group is one of the main preconditions for improving the value of the Group. By 2020, the Group
plans to invest LTL 2-3 billion in the following areas: heat sector by
constructing new or upgrading the existing co-generation power
plants, supply and sales of natural gas utilising the potential of the
LNG terminal, renewable energy sources and, upon the adoption
of respective decisions, to participate in the implementation of
the nuclear power plant project.
In February 2014, the Group company LITGAS engaged in the
supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and sale of natural gas was
approved as the designated supplier, who will have to supply the
LNG terminal with the minimum necessary quantity of natural gas
of 540 MCM, which is necessary for maintaining uninterrupted
operations of the LNG terminal.
Investments into the heat production from biofuel, analysis
of wind power plant potential in Kruonis PSHP
In Q 1 of 2014, Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba continued the development project of new heat production capacities in Elektrėnai
complex started back in 2011. In February, the project contractor
Consortium Filter and Vapor and UAB Kaunos Energetikos Remontas obtained a construction permit and started the construction
of the biofuel boiler-room.
In Q 1 of 2014, LITGAS completed the first stage of direct negotiations with potential LNG suppliers on a long-term supply
agreement for the period of 5 years. During this stage, meeting with
all three selected potential suppliers were held, tender conditions
and their interpretations were being cleared up, positions were
being coordinated in order to receive most favourable conditions
for Lithuania.
On 21 February 2014, the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of
Lithuania transferred to Lietuvos Energija 51 454 638 state-owned
ordinary registered shares entitling to 17.7 per cent of votes at AB
Lietuvos Dujos general meeting of shareholders.
First plants producing heat from biofuel should be launched in
the heating season of 2014-2015, while the completion of the
construction of the entire 40 MW capacity biofuel boiler-room is
planned at the end of 2014. Also a new 50 MW capacity steam
boiler-room, which will ensure the maintenance of heat reserves,
generation of heat during peak of low temperatures and the
possibility of launching the reserve units of the old power plant,
will be installed. The new boiler-rooms will provide the required
power and steam to the town of Elektrėnai, the company
Kietaviškių Gausa and the reserve power plant managed by
Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba, and will help reduce the need for
PSOP funds.
On 21 May 2014, Lietuvos Energija UAB signed agreements with
the German company E.ON Ruhrgas International, in accordance
with which it took over 38.9 per cent of shares of public company
Lietuvos Dujos and 11.76 per cent of shares of AB LESTO. The total
value of the share package amounts to LTL 336.9 million. Having
concluded this transaction, the Group will own more than half of
shares of Lietuvos Dujos.
Complex measurements of wind speed, directions and other
meteorological conditions were started in the territory of Kruonis
PSHP in the beginning of 2014 in order to carry out the initial
assessment of the potential of the land plot for the installation
of the wind power plant park. Based on measurement results
Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba will make decisions on possible works
of the installation of wind power plants.
Having acquired additional 38.9 per cent of shares of Lietuvos
Dujos, state-owned group Lietuvos Energija will own two
companies providing services to residents and businesses - the
synergy will allow offering electricity and gas consumers better
services and service, coordinated activities of the companies will
allow seeking for a higher efficiency and increasing operating
results. The remaining shareholders of Lietuvos Dujos will be
offered to sell their shares.
Pursuant to the Law on Securities, having exceeded the threshold
of one-third of votes after this transaction, Lietuvos Energija
will make a take-over bid to purchase all the remaining shares
of AB Lietuvos Dujos owned by OAO Gazprom and minority
shareholders.

Installation of the industrial park in Kruonis PSHP territory
In Q 1 of 2014, Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba completed the planned
works of the project for the installation of engineering equipment
of the industrial park set up in the territory of Kruonis PSHP. Now
the territory is better prepared for direct foreign investments,
which will allow developing high tech activities in this appealing
area equipped with all the necessary infrastructure.
In the implementation of the project, about 5 km of roads were
reconstructed, also engineering infrastructure was set up: water
supply with water wells and rainwater drainage networks. Works
of reconstruction of the road, also the installation of rain water
collector were completed in the end of December of 2013, while
in February 2014 the last part of the project - set-up of a watering
place - was completed. Currently, the second stage of the project
is being planned.
Most efficient data centre in the Eastern Europe started its
operations
One of the largest data transmission and data centre operators
in the Baltic States owned by the Group Duomenų Logistikos
Centras started the construction of Data Inn - one of the most
modern data centres in the Baltic States - back in 2013. This data
centre is the only centre in Lithuania with Uptime Institute Tier III
certification. Officially this centre was opened up on 6 May 2014.
Energy efficient Data Inn will allow reducing costs for information
technologies, improving the reliability of the operations thereof
and increasing the competitiveness of Lithuania and its businesses
in the international environment. Its power usage effectiveness
(PUE) is as low as 1.3 and is well ahead of the global average
accounting for about 1.65.
The new data centre is the first stage of the entire Data Inn project.
Currently, its useful floor space covers 500 m², power reaches 100
kilowatts and its capacity is 100 server stands. Investments into
the project amount to about LTL 10 million.
Design and construction works of new Data Inn stages and the
expansion of its capacities are planned in the nearest future.
The plan is to have the useful floor space of Data Inn expanded
to 3 200 m², capacity increased to 6 000 kilowatts and 600 server
stands fitted therein upon the completion of the development.
The total value of the project will amount to LTL 42 million.
Surveys of Syderiai geological structure
In Q 1 of 2014, analysing the possibilities for the installation of
the underground natural gas storage in Telšiai region, Lietuvos
Energijos Gamyba finished processing data collected during all
seismic and geological surveys, and prepared the simulation model
of the storage reservoir. This model allows assessing geological
suitability of the storage, its behaviour during gas pumping and
extraction processes, also, setting operational parameters of the
storage activities. All results received and conclusions made after
the surveys were provided to the Ministry of Energy. In order to
ensure that the Government having initiated the project is able
to make a reasonable decision on further course of the project,
specialists of Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba are carrying out the
project cost-benefit analysis upon the assignment of the Ministry.
Preparatory works of the nuclear power plan object
At the beginning of 2014, a positive conclusion was received
from SNPSI on the nuclear power plant site assessment report.
SNPSI found no irregularities, and possible conclusions were also
obtained in respect of the updated report from all coordination
authorities. This conclusion completed an important stage of
the project that has lasted for several years. Summarizing the
completed site assessment surveys and the amount of data
obtained in the course thereof, it has been concluded that the sites
are suitable for the construction of the power plant, moreover,
most detailed geological surveys of the territory of the sites were
conducted in both Lithuania and the Baltic States.
Enhancement of the operating efficiency
Higher efficiency of activities of the Group means both higher
profit and return for shareholders as well as lower tariffs for
consumers. The strategy of Lietuvos Energija for 2014-2020
establishes that higher operating efficiency will be achieved by
adapting the most advanced management practices in corporate
management, planning and monitoring of activities, finance,
procurement, risk managements and internal audit areas.

Solid foundation for enhancing the operating efficiency was laid
back in 2013 when management of Lietuvos Energija group was
rearranged in accordance with a new model. The parent company
Lietuvos Energija concentrated the coordination of the activities of
the Group companies, elected the supervisory and management
boards, and separated the responsibilities of management and
supervisory bodies. Currently, a uniform governance and control
system aimed at defining the principles of governance and control
responding to common needs of the Lietuvos Energija group, the
division of responsibilities for individual activities and processes,
risk management and control, the principles of supervision and
control of activities and processes at the Group and individual
company level is under implementation. This system will
contribute to achieving the efficiency and synergy in the activities
of the Group companies and the realisation of the goals set.
Trade under the Gross Bidding principle
In March of 2014, Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba started trading
electricity on the Nord Pool Spot Exchange under the Gross
Bidding principle. This means that the company carries out all
its electricity purchase and sale transactions separately, which
allows increasing the transparency of non-regulated market and
enhancing the efficiency thereof. Now Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba
is able to easier assess benefits of fixed price transactions, which
in turn creates better preconditions for enhancing the efficiency
of commercial activities. At the same time the company is
contributing to the development of transparent wholesale
electricity market in the Baltic States.
Signing a credit agreement
On 21 February 2014, Lietuvos Energijos Gamyba signed a
credit agreement with SEB bank for granting a 10-year loan of
up to EUR 158 million (LTL 546 million). Funds will be allocated
for refinancing three long-term loans, which were disbursed to
the company by consortiums of banks operating in Lithuania
and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
This transaction contributes to the optimization of investments
of strategic national company aimed at the implementation of
projects in Elektrėnai complex, because after the refinancing of
the existing loans, regulated operating expenses of the company
will decline and the administration of assumed obligations
will become easier. Moreover, the decreasing credit risk of the
company will allow expecting favourable funding conditions in
the future.
Organisational culture
Lietuvos Energija believes that the company’s employees
constitute the key element in implementing the operating
strategy of the Group. The aim is to build and maintain valuebased organizational culture, motivating employees to assume
responsibility, cooperate and unitedly strive for the best result.
Upon the reorganization of the corporate governance model of
Lietuvos Energija group, the focus on coordinated organizational
development, human resources management, building new
organization culture, efficiency of the organization of activities,
enhancement and retention of competencies will be increased
further more. In further development of the organization in
2014 and upcoming years, the greatest attention will be paid
to the improvement of remuneration of the Group’s employees,
evaluation of activities and management systems, the creation
of talent identification system, improvement of leadership,
management and professional competencies, the development of
personnel successor system, communication and implementation
of values as well as optimization of management processes of
human resources.
