The Group's EBITDA amounted to 265.1 million euros (+22.9% y-o-y), while operating profit increased 12.8% to 168.0 million euros in FY2011.
The Group´s results were mostly influenced by the significantly higher operating profit of Fuels division (71 million euros, +82.7% y-o-y). The EBIT increase was mainly due to higher oil margins and non-recurring revenues from the sale of 11% holding in the Jordanian project company and the revaluation of the remaining stake. The increase in the operating profit of Electricity and Heat Generation division (80 million euros, +3.5% y-o-y) was supported by higher electricity sales margin. The operating profit of Retail division's (23 million euros, -43.0% y-o-y) was impacted by higher fixed expenses and lower margins in electricity retail market.
Group´s operating cash flow amounted to 161.8 million euros (-18.3% y-o-y). Main reasons behind the decrease are the adjustments related to the sale of business operations (-18.7 million euros), increase in the inventory levels (-18.1 million euros) and the prepayment for CO2 emissions allowance (-16.7 million euros). In addition positive impact of 14.2 million euros originated from lower corporate income tax payment compared to 2010.

Total electricity generation in FY 2010 reached 10.4 TWh. Sales of shale oil amounted to 164 thousand tonnes, down 10% year-on-year due to scheduled repairs. Oil shale sales amounted to 2.1 million tonnes, 8 percent decrease y-o-y.

In addition, Eesti Energia acquired for 30 million euros a 100% holding of the oil shale development company in USA including oil shale reserves estimated to contain some 2.6 billion barrels of oil.
Outlook
The Group revenues for 2012 are expected to remain at the same level as in 2011 due to strong oil prices, increasing shale oil production and higher network tariffs.
The Group operating profit for 2012 is also expected to remain approximately at the same level as in FY11. The main factors impacting FY12 operating profit include completion of assets currently under construction, profitable oil sales and increased profitability of distribution network.
In 2012 the total capex is expected to amount to 560 million euros including 220 million euros to the new 300-MW CFB power plant, 90 million euros to renovating the distribution network and 40 million euros to completion of Enefit-280 oil plant.
