6analysis of the Group’s operating results

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 cus-tomers 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 cus-tomer 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.

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
