In the third quarter (1 July – 30 September) of the 2021 financial year, Tallink Grupp AS and its subsidiaries (the Group) carried 1 144 092 passengers, which is 13.0% less than in the third quarter last year.

Despite some alleviation of restrictions in Group's home markets in Estonia and Sweden, in the third quarter, the Group's operations and operating results were continuously strongly influenced by the COVID-19 situation. Restrictions on international travel and communications advising against travelling by state authorities, particularly in Finland, was in place for most of the quarter. The operational factors impacting results were following:
To enhance travelling and contribute to resolving the COVID-19 crisis, the Group offers the opportunity for passengers to perform COVID-19 antigen testing and get vaccine shots on board the Tallinn-Helsinki shuttle ferries since June 2021.
Given the uncertainty regarding the duration of the crisis and the course of the post-crisis recovery with progress of vaccinations, the business environment has remained challenging. In the current situation, the focus has remained on costs and cash flow management to ensure the sustainability of the Group's core business.
Cruise ferry Baltic Queen returned to operations on Tallinn-Stockholm route in the beginning of July. Cruise ferry Silja Europa operated on Tallinn-Helsinki route. Cruise ferry Silja Serenade operated special cruises on Helsinki-Mariehamn routes in July. Cruise ferry Silja Symphony operated Swedish domestic cruises in July and August.

Estonia-Finland routes' revenue decreased by EUR 7.0 million, or 10.0%, to EUR 63.2 million. The segment result increased by EUR 6.7 million to EUR 10.1 million. The segment effectively reflects operations of two shuttle vessels, one cruise ferry and the costs of cargo vessel SeaWind being docked for repairs for the majority of the quarter.
The number of passengers carried on the Finland-Sweden routes increased by 10.3%. The number of transported cargo units increased by 4.9%. The route's revenue increased by EUR 6.6 million to EUR 60.9 million and the segment result improved by EUR 16.4 million to EUR 6.3 million.

Revenue from the segment other increased by a total of EUR 15.6 million and amounted to EUR 28.1 million. The increase was mainly driven by charter revenue and various retail activities.

The Management Board of Tallink Grupp AS operates with six members and includes:
The Group considers Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Latvia its home markets with the most exposure to the economic and travel restriction developments in Finland. The Group has also high exposure to the economic and travel restriction developments in Estonia and Sweden. In the third quarter of 2021, the Group's economic environment was dominated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions related to international travel.
The confidence of the Finnish and Estonian consumers continued to improve throughout the quarter and in Sweden the consumer confidence remained high. However, the overall demand in passenger traffic remained negatively affected by the COVID-19 related considerations, particularly on the Finnish market. For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the return of the customers from outside the company's regular home markets was seen during the quarter.
In the third quarter, the cargo market fared better than the passenger business, supported by the continuously robust business confidence on all home markets. Yet the market conditions regarding the price competition remained challenging, resulting in a stagnant development in the segment compared to the previous year.
Measured in euros and weighted with the Group's consumption volumes, the global fuel prices increased, on average, by 110% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to last year. The annual increase in the effective prices for the Group was lower due to a fuel price agreement with the price fixed above the market level effective a year ago. Increase in the fuel prices was the main cause of the Group's overall fuel cost increase by 45% compared to the same period last year.
By the end of the third quarter, Finland and Sweden had reached vaccination rates among their population ranking among the highest in the World, allowing for most of the COVID-19 restrictions in those societies to be lifted. The vaccination pace in Estonia and Latvia has unfortunately lagged and the relatively low level of vaccination rate of the population has contributed to the countries' high infection rate and hospitalisation statistics.

For the foreseeable future, the key risk has to do with global and regional developments of the COVID-19 situation, progress of national vaccination efforts and related restrictions on travel and other economic activities, the economic damage it may cause and its impact on local and international trade.
In late June, the Group and Tanger MED Port Authority S.A., a Moroccan state-owned company, signed short-term time-charter agreements for the vessels Victoria I and Romantika. The vessels operated on international shipping routes between Morocco and France and between Morocco and Italy in July-September 2021.
In the third quarter, the Group sold 100% shares in its wholly owned subsidiary Baltic Retail OÜ. With the disposal of the shares in Baltic Retail OÜ the Group exited from onshore fashion retail business and has relinquished the onshore franchise rights of Esprit, Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, SuperDry and United Colors of Benetton brands.
The new LNG shuttle vessel MyStar was christened according to the traditions of shipbuilding in Rauma shipyard on 12 August 2021. The godmother of the new vessel is the former President of the Republic of Estonia Kersti Kaljulaid.
The Group held the public offering of new shares from 18 August to 1 September. As a result of the public offering, altogether 73 687 024 new shares were issued and the Group's share capital was increased by EUR 34.6 million.
In late September, the Group signed short-term agreement for cruise ferry Silja Europa to provide accommodation for the COP26 event in Glasgow, Scotland from 17 October to 17 November 2021. In addition, cruise ferry Romantika will be joining the event to provide accommodation for the period of 15 October to 15 November 2021.
In October 2021, one new restaurant was opened in Lithuania. The Group continues preparations for opening additional Burger King restaurants in 2021. In the last quarter of the year altogether four new Burger King restaurants are planned to be opened in Latvia and Lithuania.
At the date of the report, 70% of the adult population of European Union (EU) had been fully vaccinated, reaching the milestone set by the EU. Although the EU milestone had been achieved by the end of August, the development and pace of the vaccination and natural infections in Group's home markets in Estonia and Latvia remain the main concern.
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 (June-August). However, this year, dependent on situation with the vaccinations and cross-border travelling, the period may extend to autumn.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation the earnings outlook is uncertain and continues to be strongly affected by external factors such as the progress of vaccination, states' decisions regarding the timing of the lifting or imposing of travel restrictions and allowing passenger traffic, passengers' willingness to travel as well as the duration of the recovery period. Management expects the passenger traffic between Estonia and Finland to recover after vaccination, infection and hospitalisation rates in Estonia improve and travelling restrictions remain lifted.
Tallink Grupp AS does not have any substantial ongoing research and development projects. The Group is continuously seeking opportunities for expanding its operations in order 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 reduction of the ships CO2 footprint.
The Group's business, financial position and operating results could be materially affected by various risks. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial or unlikely, could also impair our 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 Tallink Grupp AS for the third quarter of 2021 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.
