MANAGEMENT REPORT

In the first quarter (1 January- 31 March) of the 2014 financial year AS Tallink Grupp and its subsidiaries' (the Group) carried 1.9 million passengers which is 0.5% more compared to the same period last year. In the first quarter, which is also low season, several of the Group's vessels went through scheduled maintenance works. As a one-time effect the results were affected by the cruise ferry Silja Serenade going through extensive upgrade works. Volatility to the first quarter was added by the fact that the Easter holiday, which is a very popular travel period fell this time in to the second quarter of the 2014 financial year. Throughout the first quarter an increased amount of marketing campaigns were conducted, including the extension of gift vouchers expiration periods.

The cruise ferry Silja Serenade was out of operations in January and February for a total of 40 days undergoing an extensive upgrade of the public areas. In February the refreshed vessel Silja Serenade was launched on the Stockholm-Helsinki route. The vessel has a 50% expanded shopping area and includes upgrades to stores, the buffet and features a new restaurant. Several of the public areas received a facelift including the refurbishment of cabins and a refreshed SPA & Sauna area. The maintenance & upgrade works resulted temporary in fewer voyages and hence lower passenger and cargo volumes on Sweden-Finland routes.

In the first quarter the Estonia-Finland route continued to show positive developments with revenue increasing nearly 5.2% driven by 4.5% growth in passenger volume and 34.2% growth in cargo units. Due to the extended upgrade works the Finland-Sweden routes experienced a 6.1% decline in passenger volumes. Despite the decline in the passenger numbers the Group managed to increase the passenger market share on the Finland-Sweden route in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. The passenger volume in the first quarter for the Group in total remained on the last year's level.

The Group's consolidated revenue in the first quarter was EUR 188.2 million, being 1.2% or EUR 2.4 million less than a year ago. The average revenue per passenger decreased by 4.4%. In the first quarter of the 2014 financial year the Group's gross profit amounted to EUR 11.8 million and EBITDA to EUR 4.5 million being respectively EUR 4.5 million and EUR 2.6 million less compared to the same period last year. The decline in the Group's results is related to maintenance and upgrade works on Silja Serenade and the Easter falling into the second quarter. In the first quarter there were 31% more service days where ships were out of the operation when compared to the same period in the last year.

The unaudited net loss for the first quarter of the 2014 financial year was EUR 23.4 million or EUR 0.03 per share compared to the net loss of EUR 17.5 million or EUR 0.03 per share in the same period last year.

The total liquidity, cash and unused credit facilities at the end of the first quarter were EUR 64.1 million providing a strong position for sustainable operations. At the end of the first quarter 2014 the Group had EUR 62.6 million in cash and equivalents and the total of unused credit lines were at EUR 1.5 million.

EVENTS IN Q1

The subsidiaries of AS Tallink Grupp, Baltic SF VII Ltd and Baltic SF VIII Ltd extended the charter agreements with Stena Line Ltd for M/S Stena Superfast VII and M/S Stena Superfast VIII until autumn 2019.

The Supervisory Board of AS Tallink Grupp extended the term of office of the Management Board member Mr Andres Hunt for the next three year as from 23.02.2014.

In February the Group launched the refreshed vessel Silja Serenade on the Stockholm-Helsinki route. The vessel has a 50% expanded shopping area including a new Superstore, upgraded Grand Buffet concept and a new Italian restaurant. Several of the other public areas received a facelift including the refurbishment of Commodore Class cabins and a refreshed SPA & Sauna area.

The passenger vessel Silja Festival was chartered to Bridgemans Services Inc as from the end of February 2014 for 12 months, serving as an accommodation vessel in Canada, British Columbia.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE AND THE OUTLOOK

The Group's shareholders annual general meeting is scheduled for 9th of June 2014. The meeting agenda includes approving the annual report, profit distribution with a proposal to pay dividend of EUR 0.03 per share and nominating the auditor.

The Group's earnings are not generated evenly throughout the year. Summer period is the high season in the Group's operations. In the opinion of the management and based on the experience of the previous financial years the majority of the earnings are generated during summer (June-August).

Following the successful launch of Silja Serenade, the sister ship Silja Symphony will be upgraded similar, in autumn 2014. In 2014 the Group plans to invest altogether more than EUR 20 million in upgrading the vessels on the Helsinki-Stockholm route.

AS Tallink Grupp does not have any substantial on-going research and development projects.

The Group does not have any major investment commitments currently.

With an aim to increase revenue generation improvements in product development are being made, emphasis is on retail sales and upgrades to the public areas on selected vessels. Cost reductions in some areas are processed in order to adapt with the changed economic environment. The management expects an improvement in the results for the 2014 financial year. However, the recent geopolitical events in Europe increase uncertainties.

Note 6 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to movements in interest rates. Where the effectiveness of the hedge relationship in a cash flow hedge is demonstrated, changes in the fair value are included in the hedging reserve in shareholders' equity and released to match actual payments on the hedged item. Changes in fair value of derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39 are recognized directly in the income statement.

The fair value of the interest rate derivatives recognized in the current interim financial statements as of 31.03.2014 is -13,771 thousand EUR. The fair value of the cross-currency rate derivatives recognized in the current interim financial statements as of 31.03.2014 is -13,646 thousand EUR.

In June 2011 the fair value of the received services in amount of 527 thousand EUR is recorded as an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the fair value of share options in the same amount is held as a share option reserve in the equity.
