MANAGEMENT REPORT

AS Tallink Grupp and its subsidiaries (the Group) carried a total of 9.11 million passengers in the 2013 financial year which is 1.6% less than the year before. The Group's unaudited consolidated revenue remained on the previous year's level with EUR 942.0 million. Gross profit was EUR 190.2 million, EBITDA EUR 156.2 million. Unaudited net profit amounted to EUR 43.3 million or EUR 0.06 per share, which is a 23.1% decrease compared to the previous year.

In the fourth quarter (1 October - 31 December) of the 2013 financial year the Group carried 2.1 million passengers, 1% more compared to the same period last year. The Group's consolidated revenue amounted to EUR 224.0 million, EUR 1.2 million more compared to the same period last year. The Group's EBITDA amounted to EUR 29.8 million, 7.1% less compared to the same period last year. The unaudited net profit for the fourth quarter increased by 31.8% to EUR 7.5 million.

The 2013 financial year ticket and cargo sales showed a 3.4% and 2.7% increase respectively. Due to the decline in the passenger numbers on the Finland-Sweden routes caused by increased competition and structural changes the shop and restaurant sales experienced a 2.0% decline. Although there was a slight decrease in shop and restaurant sales, spending per passenger stayed on last year's level. As a result of upgrading the fleet growth continued on the Riga-Stockholm route in the 2013 financial year, showing an 8.4% increase in revenue and the result for the financial year was positive for the first time since the route was opened in 2006.

During the 2013 financial year the Group's operations were affected by an overall weak macroeconomic environment in the region. The Nordic countries which are the Group's main markets continue to experience noticeable slowdown in their economies and there is an impact to the Group's passengers' spending behaviour. Net profit was also affected by a tax expense of EUR 3.8 million.

The lower fuel price levels throughout the year had a positive effect on the 2013 results, the Group's overall fuel cost was circa 10% or EUR 14 million lower compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile there was raise in the ships operating costs and port fees.

The Group was successful in generating a higher cash flow from operating activities both in the fourth quarter and for the twelve months 48.4 million and 168.4 million respectively compared to the same period last year. The total liquidity, cash and unused credit facilities at the end of the fourth quarter were EUR 104 million providing a strong position for sustainable operations. At the end of the fourth quarter 2013 the Group had EUR 72 million in cash and equivalents and the total of unused credit lines were at EUR 32 million.

The Group successfully continued the deleveraging strategy and the net debt decreased by EUR 52 million to a total of EUR 722 million in the 2013 financial year.

The 2013 financial year result did not meet the management's expectations. Due to adverse macroeconomic developments in the region and the increased competition on Finland-Sweden routes the results for this year did not reach the previous year's level. 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.

In management's opinion, the Group's financial position allows the Group to pay dividends. Management will propose to the shareholders' general meeting a dividend distribution of EUR 0.03 per share, i.e. EUR 20,096,461 in aggregate.

EVENTS IN Q4

The AS Tallink Grupp listing prospectus for a 900 million NOK bond was successfully approved by The Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway and the bond was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in October.

In November Vana Tallinn Line Ltd., a subsidiary of AS Tallink Grupp came to an agreement with Allferries SA to sell the motor vessel Adriatica Queen (ex. Vana Tallinn).

In December M/S Star experienced a tiltable ramp breakdown being out of service for a total of 10 trips. The vessel will operate with a slightly reduced cargo capacity until the final repairs are done in in the beginning of April, some disruptions to the service is to be expected.

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE AND THE OUTLOOK

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).

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 sister ship Silja Symphony will follow with a similar approach in autumn 2014. In 2014 the Group plans to invest more than EUR 20 million in upgrading the vessels on the Helsinki-Stockholm route.

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

In February 2014, AS Tallink Grupp and Stena Line Ltd concluded to extend the charter agreements for M/S Stena Superfast VII and M/S Stena Superfast VIII until autumn 2019.

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

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.

In management's opinion, the Group's financial position allows the Group to pay dividends. Management will propose to the shareholders' general meeting a dividend distribution of EUR 0.03 per share, i.e. EUR 20,096,461 in aggregate.

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.

As of 31.12.2013 AS Tallink Grupp had three interest rate derivative contracts with total notional amount of 270,000 thousand EUR with the maturities in years 2014, 2018,2019 and two cross-currency rate derivative contracts with total notional amount of 120,000 thousand EUR with the maturities in year 2018. The fair value of the interest rate derivatives recognized in the current interim financial statements as of 31.12.2013 is -13,959 thousand EUR. The fair value of the cross-currency rate derivatives recognized in the current interim financial statements as of 31.12.2013 is -16,250 thousand EUR.
