Nurminen Logistics announced yesterday that the change negotiations initiated by its subsidiary, North Rail, at the beginning of July have been concluded. As a result of the negotiations, the employment of 25 people at the company will be terminated, which was also the original estimated maximum. The company stated at the beginning of the negotiations that its goal was to achieve annual savings of around 3 MEUR in order to adapt its operations to the market situation, which changed due to the railway tariff increases that took effect in Russia in July. Given the sharp decline in volumes, we believe the company had practically no other option but to adjust its operations, as we estimate that replacing the lost fertilizer volumes would be nearly impossible in the short term. Overall, the outcome of the negotiations was in line with our expectations, and we had already considered their impact in our forecasts. Thus, the outcome has no immediate impact on our estimates.
