AS Tallinna Sadam financial results for 2025 Q2 and 6 months
In the second quarter, Tallinna Sadam earned close to 30 million euros in sales
revenue and more than 3 million euros in profit. The revenue for six months was
58 million euros and the profit exceeded 10 million euros. In the second
quarter, the volume of investments increased to 8 million euros, in the first
half of the year we invested a total of 12 million euros.
In the second quarter, sales revenue declined by -7% and profit by -15%,
adjusted EBITDA increased +7% year-on-year. Semi-annually, the revenue decreased
-2.9%, increased adjusted EBITDA +8% and profit +11%.
The number of passengers grew +3.8%, cargo volumes +8%, and vessel calls
increased by +2.1% in the second quarter of 2025. Ferry segment showed stable
growth - although the number of trips decreased by -1.5%, the number of
passengers grew +2.4% and the number of vehicles +3.4%. The icebreaker Botnica
was chartered 22% of the time which is -63% less than last year.
"The second quarter is characterized by growth in operational volumes and
revenues in all areas, except for the chartering of the icebreaker Botnica,
where the ship's utility rate has decreased. In terms of ship visits, we are
especially pleased with the increased cruise vessel calls, which significantly
affect our results. Despite a slight decrease in sales revenue, adjusted EBIDTA
and its margin are on the rise. Excluding one-off factors affecting profit, we
have reduced operating expenses and increased the profitability of operations.
Profit was affected the most by the increase in dividend income tax rate,"
commented Valdo Kalm, the Chairman of the Management Board, on the results.
Tallinna Sadam management will present the financial results of the Group at a
webinars on 11 August, including webinar in Estonian starting at 10.00 (EET)

Revenue
Revenue decreased by EUR 1.7 million (-2.9%) in the first 6 months of 2025 to
EUR 57.9 million. The decline in revenue was due to a decrease in charter
revenue from the icebreaker Botnica (Other segment). Revenue increased in the
Passenger harbours and Cargo harbours segments and in the Ferry segment
providing service between mainland Estonia and the larger islands. In the second
quarter, revenue decreased by EUR 2.1 million (-6.8%). By revenue type, the
largest change over the 6-month period was the decline in charter fees revenue,
which decreased by EUR 3.5 million (-41.4%) due to a 24% drop in charter days.
The percentage decline in revenue exceeded the drop in charter days because no
project-based work at higher charter rates was performed in the second quarter
following the icebreaking season. Vessel dues revenue increased by EUR 1.1
million (+7.6%) to EUR 14.8 million. The increase was supported by a rise in
vessel calls of passenger, cruise, and cargo ships, as well as higher charge
rates. Cargo charges revenue grew by EUR 0.5 million (+18.5%) to EUR 3.4 million
due to increased cargo volumes and, for 2025, higher expected annual revenue
from liquid bulk, which, under IFRS 15, had an additional positive impact on the
6-month results. Operating lease income increased by EUR 0.3 million (+4.2%) to
EUR 7.1 million. Growth was recorded across the Cargo harbours, Ferry, and
Passenger harbours segments, mainly due to indexed rate adjustments. Revenue
from other services decreased by EUR 0.3 million (-18.1%), as the previous
year's project-based work performed by Botnica also included additional income
from supplementary services. Revenue from electricity sales decreased by EUR
0.2 million (-6.4%) to EUR 2.2 million. The decrease in the Cargo harbours
segment was due to lower electricity sales volumes, while in the Passenger
harbours segment, electricity revenue increased due to both higher sales volumes
and higher market prices. Passenger fee revenue increased by EUR 0.1 million
(+2.3%) to EUR 5.4 million. The growth was supported by an increase in passenger
numbers (+0.8%) and higher rates applied to regular line passengers and cruise
passengers using Old City Harbour. Revenue from ferry service increased by EUR
0.1 million (+0.5%) to EUR 17.7 million. The number of trips decreased by 1.5%
compared to the previous year. Revenue growth was driven by indexation of fees
based on Estonia's fuel, labour, and consumer price indices.
EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased by EUR 2.2 million (+8.0%) in the first 6 months to
EUR 29.8 million. Growth was recorded in the Cargo harbours, Passenger harbours,
and Ferry segments, supported by higher revenue and cost reductions in the Cargo
harbours and Passenger harbours segments. In the Ferry segment, costs increased
faster than revenue, particularly due to higher personnel expenses. Adjusted
EBITDA in the Other segment declined, as the decrease in revenue outweighed the
reduction in costs. In the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA increased by EUR 1.0
million (+6.7%) year-on-year. Growth occurred in the Cargo harbours and
Passenger harbours segments, while adjusted EBITDA declined in the Other and
Ferry segments. The adjusted EBITDA margin rose from 46.3% to 51.5% over the 6-
month period and from 47.0% to 53.8% in the second quarter.
Profit
Profit before tax increased by EUR 3.3 million (+26.5%) to EUR 12.4 million
compared to the 6 months in the previous year. However, net profit grew less
than operating profit despite the decrease in financial costs. This was due to
an income tax expense of EUR 5.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, related
to dividends paid in the amount of EUR 19.2 million. The tax expense was EUR
2.3 million higher than in the previous year. Although the amount of dividends
remained unchanged, the dividend tax rate increased in 2025, and the reduced
rate for regularly paid dividends was eliminated. Net profit for the 6-month
period increased by EUR 1.0 million (+10.7%) year-on-year. Second quarter net
profit was EUR 3.5 million (EUR -0.6 million; -15.2%) and profit before tax was
EUR 8.9 million (EUR +1.7 million; +23.1%).
Investments
In the first half of 2025, the Group invested EUR 12.0 million, which was EUR
13.0 million less than in the previous year. The investments made during the
first 6 months of 2025 were mainly related to the construction of an offshore
wind quay at Paldiski South Harbour, scheduled dry-docking of a ferry,
information technology, quay improvements in cargo harbours, equipment purchases
for ferries, and dry-docking of the icebreaker Botnica. Investments in the
second quarter totalled EUR 8.4 million (the second quarter 2024: EUR 7.1
million).
