EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD & OUTLOOK

Burger King restaurant in Vilnius

  • One new Burger King Restaurant opened in Vilnius in late October. Four more restaurants planned to be opened in Q4 in Latvia and Lithuania.
  • Difficult situation with vaccination against COVID-19 in Estonia and Latvia and recent high and continuously growing infection and hospitalisation rates increase risk for significantly reduced attractiveness as travel destination and for new restrictions.
  • Continuously exploring options for chartering out vessels.

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.

TALLINK GRUPP 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.
