EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD & OUTLOOK

Victoria in Scotland, July 2022

• Short-term chartering of three cruise ferries: Victoria I, Silja Europa and Galaxy

  • Continuously exploring options for chartering out vessels
  • The new dual fuel (LNG, MGO) shuttle vessel MyStar is expected to be delivered and start operations on the Tallinn-Helsinki route in September 2022

The war in Ukraine is expected to have a negative impact - demand of certain customer groups (mainly customers from the countries directly participating in the conflict and from Asian countries), risk of an increase in some input prices (mainly fuel and raw materials).

Despite the uncertainties related to the economic environment the management expects continuously quick recovery in the passenger traffic during the summer and looks for ways to manage risks for the low season.

Q2 REVENUE DEVELOPMENT BY OPERATING SEGMENTS (EUR MILLION)

Accommodation 1%

Leases 5%

Other

Restaurant and shop sales on-board and onshore increased

Q2 REVENUE DEVELOPMENT BY GEOGRAPHICAL SEGMENTS (EUR MILLION)

No COVID-19 restrictions in 2022 vs high restrictions and limited operations in 2021. Overall increase in demand and increased supply of overnight services

Estonia-Finland

The segment reflects operations of two shuttle vessels, a cruise ferry, and a cargo vessel

Estonia-Sweden

The results reflect operations of one cargo vessel (Paldiski-Kapellskär) and one cruise ferry on Tallinn-Stockholm route, as well as expenses of a suspended cruise ferry Victoria I (EUR 2.6m)

Finland-Sweden

The results reflect the operations of Turku-Stockholm and Helsinki-Stockholm routes (only Turku-Stockholm in Q2 2021)

Other

Increase was mainly driven by chartering of vessels and accommodation sales, to a lesser extent by various retail activities
