EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD & OUTLOOK

Restaurant at renovated Tallink City Hotel

  • Continuing preparations for opening new Burger King restaurants in 2021. In the second half of the year altogether six new restaurants are planned to be opened in Latvia and Lithuania.

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 of travel restrictions and allowing passenger traffic as well as the duration of the recovery period.

Management expects the passenger traffic between Estonia and Finland to recover rapidly after the restrictions and authorities' advice against travelling have been lifted.
