The Management Board of AS Tallink Grupp operates with five members, including:
The Group's operations were predominantly impacted by changes in consumer behaviour and the economic developments in its core markets of Finland, Sweden, and Estonia, but also by the global geopolitical situation and war in Europe. The demand for international travel has continued to grow steadily but has not yet returned to pre-COVID-19 levels. Additionally, the recovery of inbound tourism from Asia has been haltered as number of countries in Asian region only raised their COVID-19 travel restrictions at the end of 2022.
OECD measured consumer confidence that reached its record low in September 2022 has since started to show slight improvement on hopes that lower energy prices might help avoid a recession in 2023. However, the volatility of energy prices, the war in Ukraine, the tightening monetary policy and the high inflation continue to be key concerns globally. The improving confidence was reflected in the increasing passenger volumes during the fourth quarter.
The company's cargo business remained steady and robust during the period, although the market conditions and availability of shipping fleet put further pressure on the already challenging price competition.
During the fourth quarter, global fuel prices increased on average about 60% compared to the same period last year while the average prices in 2022 almost doubled compared to the previous financial year of 2021. Therefore, the Group's overall fuel cost increased by 100% and amounted to EUR 144 million in 2022 despite of lower frequency of operations.
For the foreseeable future and according to current best knowledge and estimates, the key risks for the business continue to be related to the fluctuations in fuel prices, the war in Ukraine, rising interest rates and the changing customer travel and consumption habits.

AS Tallink Grupp amended and restated the EUR 280 million loan agreement from December 2016. The final maturity of the Euribor based floating interest rate loan was extended by 3 years with two further extension possibilities, each by one year. Sustainability-linked clauses were added to the amended and restated loan agreement. The outstanding balance at the time of the restatement of the loan was EUR 135.5 million.
As a result of the amended and restated loan agreement the company's refinancing risk decreases.
The new loan is guaranteed by the subsidiaries of AS Tallink Grupp: Tallink Sea Line Ltd, Tallink Victory Line Ltd, Tallink Ltd, Tallink Autoexpress Ltd and Tallinn Swedish Line Ltd. The loan is secured by the mortgages on the ships belonging to these subsidiaries.
AS Tallink Grupp and Estonian Social Insurance Board signed a short-term time-charter agreement for one of the company's vessels. To fulfil the contract, the company used a vessel that was currently not operating on any routes or providing any other services during the contract period. The vessel is chartered to the Estonian authorities from 8 December 2022 for six months with extension options (6+1+1). Previous agreement between AS Tallink Grupp and Estonian Social Insurance Board for chartering one of the Group's vessels was signed in April 2022 for four months with extension options (4+2+2).
The vessel is used to provide temporary accommodation to Ukrainian refugees arriving in Estonia.
On 7 December 2022, Tallink Superfast Ltd, a subsidiary of AS Tallink Grupp, took delivery of the new shuttle vessel MyStar from Rauma Marine Constructions shipyard, Finland.
The cost of the ship amounted to EUR 252 million and the purchase was financed with a loan of EUR 196.3 million from KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH Ltd., the credit is guaranteed by Finnish Export Credit Agency "Finnvera". The long-term loan was drawn down at the delivery, the maturity of the loan is twelve years and bears fixed interest rate.
MyStar is co-financed by European Union, the Connecting Europe Facility, Transport – Motorways of the Sea in the amount of EUR 0.1 million.
MyStar started operating on 13 December 2022.
AS Tallink Grupp and Corporate Travel Management (North) Ltd on behalf of The Scottish Government agreed an extension to the short-term time-charter agreement for the vessel Victoria I. The vessel is used to provide temporary accommodation in Scotland. The charter was extended for five months from 14 January 2023.
On 6 February 2023, AS Tallink Grupp and the Estonian Seamen's Independent Union signed a new collective agreement for the next 4 years. Subject to the agreement, the wages of the Group's maritime workers in Estonia will increase by 13.5% (service personnel) and 16.1% (technical personnel) compared to the minimum wages of the previous collective agreement.

In February 2023, AS Tallink Grupp and Slaapschepen Public BV, an organisation nominated by Centraal Orgaan Opvang Asielzoekers (COA) in the Netherlands, have used the option for extending the existing short-term charter agreement for Silja Europa until 19 June 2023.
The Group's earnings are not generated evenly throughout the year. The summer period is the high season in the Group's operations. In management's opinion and based on prior experience, most of the Group's earnings are generated during the summer months (June-August). In 2022-2023, seasonal fluctuations in revenue generation are smoothed by Group's earnings from chartering services.
The war in Ukraine has a negative impact on the demand of certain customer groups, mainly customers from the countries directly participating in the conflict and from Asian countries, together with the risk of an increase in some input prices, mainly fuel and raw materials. The exact magnitude and duration of the potential effects from the conflict remain difficult to assess.
Despite the uncertainties in the outlook of the economic environment the management is continuously looking for ways to manage risks for the low season (for example through charters).
The Group does not have any substantial ongoing research and development projects. The Group is continuously seeking opportunities for expanding its operations to improve its results.
The Group is continuously looking for innovative ways to upgrade the ships and passenger area technology to improve its overall performance through modern solutions. The most recent technical projects are focusing on the solutions for reducing the CO2 footprint of the ships.
The Group's business, financial position and operating results could be materially affected by various risks. These risks are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial or unlikely, could also impair the business. The order of presentation of the risk factors below is not intended to be an indication of the probability of their occurrence or of their potential effect on our business.

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge, the management report of AS Tallink Grupp for the fourth quarter and 12 months of 2022 presents a true and fair view of the Group's development, results and financial position and includes an overview of the main risks and uncertainties.
