TALLINK GRUPP

2021 Q4 DEVELOPMENTS AND KEY FACTS

OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

  • Extensive impact of COVID-19 and suspension of cruise ferries operations continued
  • Strong beginning of the quarter, demand for travelling was high in October and November
  • New COVID-19 variant, tighter border restrictions set in Finland and Sweden by the end of the quarter resulting in lower demand

ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS

  • Short-term charter agreement for Silja Europa and Romantika as accommodation vessels in Scotland in October and November
  • Opening of three new Burger King restaurants in Lithuania

Silja Europa in Glasgow

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD & OUTLOOK

MyStar at Rauma Shipyard, November 2021

  • One new Burger King restaurant opened in Riga in January 2022.
  • In February 2022 travel restrictions were lifted in Finland and Sweden contributing to the increase in number of bookings.
  • Compromise for termination of dispute with Port of Tallinn in February 2022.
  • The new LNG-based shuttle vessel MyStar is expected to be delivered during spring 2022, in operations from June 2022.
  • 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 more rapidly from the second quarter of 2022, when greater immunity is expected to be reached for most of the population on Group's home markets and hospitalisation rates are decreasing.
