MANAGEMENT REPORT

In the second quarter (1 April - 30 June) of the 2014 financial year AS Tallink Grupp and its subsidiaries' (the Group) carried nearly 2.4 million passengers which is 0.5% more compared to the same period last year. The number of cargo units transported decreased by 1.0% and the number of passenger vehicles transported increased by 0.7% for the same period as last year.

The Group's consolidated revenue in the second quarter was EUR 246.5 million, being 1.0% or EUR 2.6 million less than a year ago. In the second quarter of the 2014 financial year the Group's gross profit amounted to EUR 51.0 million and EBITDA to EUR 41.1 million being respectively EUR 6.0 million and EUR 5.7 million less compared to the same period last year. The decline in the Group's results is related to maintenance and upgrade works on the vessels Star, Galaxy and Baltic Princess. In the second quarter there were less trips due to ships being out of the operation when compared to the same period in the last year.

In the second quarter the Estonia-Finland route showed a slight decline with passengers numbers decreasing by 2.7%, cargo units transported increased by 6.6%, the sales numbers remained on the last year's level. The operations were affected by the shuttle vessel Star being out of operation for 68 trips in April, undergoing car deck ramp repairs, the ship was only partially replaced during that time. In the same time the competitors on the route have increased the number of departures.

In the second quarter the segment result for the Finland-Sweden segment was EUR 4.9 million lower than last year. The decline came from the Turku-Stockholm route, where revenue decreased due to the vessels Galaxy and Baltic Princess being out of operations for scheduled maintenance works and passengers' spending showing weaknesses in an overall weak macroeconomic development. Meanwhile the recently upgraded cruise ferry Silja Serenade on the Helsinki-Stockholm route has delivered positive developments. Higher customer satisfaction and on-board spending levels are confirming that the investment was successful and has a positive effect to the business in the longer run.

The amortization cost for the 2014 financial year is higher due to the new vessel Isabelle and the group has also changed the useful life estimation of some vessels. In the second quarter the amortization cost was EUR 1.8 million higher when compared to the same period in the last year.

The unaudited net profit for the second quarter of the 2014 financial year was EUR 6.1 million or EUR 0.01 per share compared to the net profit of EUR 9.3 million or EUR 0.01 per share in the same period last year.

In June 2014 the shareholders annual general meeting decided to pay a dividend of 0.03 euros per share. The total dividend amount of EUR 20.1 million was paid out in the beginning of July 2014 (third quarter).

The unstable macro-economic situation in Europe has had a negative impact to the Groups operations. In the first six months of the financial year a noticeable drop in passenger numbers from the Russian market has been observed.

Working together with ship fuel suppliers the Group is preparing for a smooth transition from 1.0% sulphur marine fuel to low sulphur marine fuel in order to meet the new 2015 sulphur emissions regulation.

The total liquidity, cash and unused credit facilities at the end of the first quarter were EUR 75.2 million providing a strong position for sustainable operations. At the end of the second quarter 2014 the Group had EUR 70.2 million in cash and equivalents and the total of unused credit lines were at EUR 5.0 million.

EVENTS IN Q2

In April the shuttle vessel Star did not operate 11 days due to the car deck repairs, the vessel was partially replaced by cruise ferries Victoria I and Baltic Queen. The cruise ferry Isabelle did not operate for 8 days due to scheduled maintenance, the vessel was not replaced during that time.

In May the cruise ferries Galaxy and Baltic Princess did not operate for 9 and 11 days respectively due to the scheduled maintenance, the vessels were not replaced during that time.

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).

AS Tallink Grupp and Bridgemans Services Ltd. entered into a charter agreement to charter the cruise ferry Silja Europa to Australia from August 2014 as an accommodation vessel. The period of the charter is at least 14 months with an option to extend up to 48 months. In relation to charter the following re-routings were done in our operations: Baltic Queen which was operating on Tallinn-Stockholm today changed to Tallinn-Helsinki route on 7 August 2014 and Romantika which is was operating on Riga-Stockholm route changed to Tallinn-Stockholm route. Isabelle continues the service on Riga-Stockholm route.

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.

Following the successful launch of the refurbished Silja Serenade, the sister ship Silja Symphony will be upgraded similarly, in autumn 2014. In 2014 the Group plans to invest altogether more than EUR 20 million in upgrading the vessels on the Helsinki-Stockholm route.

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

The Group does not have any major investment commitments currently.

Due to increased competition and continuously weak Nordic economic environment the Management expects the results to be weaker for the 2014 financial year compared to the last year.

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 30.06.2014 AS Tallink Grupp had three interest rate derivative contracts with total notional amount of EUR 270,000 thousand with the maturities in years 2014, 2018,2019 and two cross-currency rate derivative contracts with total notional amount of EUR 120,000 thousand with the maturities in year 2018. The fair value of the interest rate derivatives recognized in the current interim financial statements as of 30.06.2014 is EUR-14,586 thousand. The fair value of the cross-currency rate derivatives recognized in the current interim financial statements as of 30.06.2014 is EUR -15,014 thousand.
