Number of passengers carried by the Group's ships in Q2 2023 1.5 million
The Group's unaudited consolidated Q2 2023 revenue EUR 229.7 million
The Group's EBITDA for Q2 2023 EUR 68.5 million
In the second quarter (1 April – 30 June) of the 2023 financial year, AS Tallink Grupp and its subsidiaries (the Group) carried 1 541 081 passengers, which is 0.7% less than in the second quarter of 2022. The number of cargo units transported decreased by 22.0% compared to the same period a year ago. The Group's unaudited consolidated revenue amounted to EUR 229.7 million (EUR 206.0 million in Q2 2022), up by 11.5%. Unaudited EBITDA was EUR 68.5 million (EUR 28.7 million in Q2 2022) and the unaudited net profit for the period was EUR 33.4 million (net loss of EUR 0.7 million in Q2 2022).
The following operational factors impacted the Group's revenue and operating results in the second quarter of 2023:
In the second quarter of 2023, the Group's total revenue increased by EUR 23.6 million to EUR 229.7 million compared to EUR 206.0 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Revenue from route operations (core business) amounted to EUR 175.0 million, which is on the same level as in the second quarter of 2022.
The number of passengers carried on the Estonia-Finland route increased by 5.0% year-on-year. The number of transported cargo units decreased by 21.4%. The decline is mostly driven by less vessels available and less trips made compared to the same period a year ago. Revenue from the Estonia-Finland route increased by EUR 1.9 million to EUR 79.8 million and the segment result improved by EUR 12.4 million to EUR 24.9 million. The segment reflects the operations of three shuttle vessels until May 2023, and two shuttle vessels from thereon. On 5 May 2023, the shuttle vessel Star was chartered out and is currently operating under the name of Oscar Wilde between Ireland and the United Kingdom. The cruise ferry Silja Europa stopped operating on the Estonia-Finland route in August 2022 due to a charter agreement. The cargo vessel Sea Wind was sold at the end of April 2022.
In the second quarter of 2023, the year-on-year decrease in the number of passengers on Finland-Sweden routes was 16.4%. The number of transported cargo units decreased by 43.2%. The decline was mostly driven by less vessels available and less trips made compared to the same period a year ago. The cruise ferry Galaxy I stopped operating on the Turku-Stockholm route from September 2022 due to a charter agreement. The routes' revenue decreased by EUR 6.3 million to EUR 70.3 million while the segment result improved by EUR 11.3 million to EUR 10.0 million, year-on-year. The segment reflects the operations of one cruise ferry on Turku-Stockholm/Kapellskär routes and two cruise ferries on the Helsinki-Stockholm route.
On Estonia-Sweden routes the number of carried passengers increased by 24.9% and the number of transported cargo units by 6.1% compared to Q2 2022. The revenue of Estonia-Sweden routes increased by EUR 5.1 million to EUR 24.8 million and segment result improved by EUR 7.7 million to EUR 3.3 million, year-on-year. Estonia-Sweden routes reflect the operation of two cargo vessels and one cruise ferry in the second quarter of 2023.
Revenue from the segment Other increased by a total of EUR 23.6 million and amounted to EUR 56.5 million. The increase was mainly driven by chartering out of vessels and accommodation sales. As at the end of second quarter 2023, the Group had 7 vessels on charter including 3 on long-term and 4 on short-term. The vessel Atlantic Vision was chartered to Canada in November 2008. The current agreement has been signed until May 2024 with an extension option for another 12 months. The agreement for chartering the cruise ferry Romantika was signed in March 2022 for three years and with the option to extend the agreement (3+1+1). Recent addition to long-term charters includes the shuttle vessel Star (from 5 May 2023) and the cruise ferry Isabelle (from 1 July 2023, on short-term charter until then) both with a purchase option. Short-term charter agreements have been signed for the cruise ferry Victoria I, Galaxy I and Silja Europa.
In the second quarter of 2023, the Group's gross profit improved by EUR 41.0 million to EUR 66.5 million compared to EUR 25.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. EBITDA improved by EUR 39.8 million and amounted to EUR 68.5 million.
Amortisation and depreciation expense increased by EUR 1.5 million to EUR 25.3 million compared to the second quarter of the financial year 2022.
As a result of increased interest rates and increased financing obligations related to the shuttle-vessel Mystar, net finance costs increased by EUR 4.2 million year-on-year to EUR 10.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.
The Group's unaudited net profit for Q2 2023 was EUR 33.4 million or EUR 0.045 per share compared to a net loss of EUR 0.7 million or net loss of EUR 0.001 per share in Q2 2022.
The Group's investments in the second quarter of 2023 amounted to EUR 4.7 million.
Majority of the investments were made in the maintenance and repair works of vessels, IT developments as well as in the re-opening of hotel in Riga in April and in the opening of a new Burger King restaurant in Riga in June.
At the end of Q2 2023, the Group's net debt amounted to EUR 664.9 million having decreased by EUR 70.5 million compared to the end of first quarter of 2023. The net debt to EBITDA ratio was 3.1 at the reporting date (4.2 as at 31 March 2023).
As at 30 June 2023, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 57.6 million (EUR 96.5 million as at 31 March 2023) and the Group had EUR 135.0 million in unused credit lines (EUR 135.0 million as at 31 March 2023). The total liquidity buffer (cash, cash equivalents and unused credit facilities) amounted to EUR 192.6 million (EUR 231.5 million as at 31 March 2023). In the second quarter of 2023, the Group repaid

as at 30 June 2023
loans in the total amount of EUR 105.3 million compared to loan repayments of EUR 46.0 million in the second quarter of 2022. The current trade and other payables amounted to EUR 96.3 million (EUR 87.7 million as at 31 March 2023).
In 2018, the Group adopted a dividend policy subject to which dividends of a minimum amount of EUR 0.05 per share would be paid if the economic performance enables it.
Due to continued global uncertainties the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 13 June 2023 decided not to pay dividends for the financial year 2022.
In the first 6 months (1 January – 30 June) of the 2023 financial year, the Group carried 2.6 million passengers which is 14.0% more compared to the same period last year. The Group's unaudited revenue for the period increased by 28.4% and amounted to EUR 400.9 million. Unaudited EBITDA for the first 6 months was EUR 95.6 million (EUR 17.7 million in January-June 2022) and unaudited net profit was EUR 28.0 million (net loss of EUR 40.7 million in January-June 2022).

The Group's operations were predominantly impacted by changes in consumer behaviour and the economic developments in its core markets of Finland, Sweden, and Estonia, but also by the global geopolitical situation and war in Europe. According to UNWTO, the demand for international travel is expected to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2023. However, tourists are expected to travel closer to home in response to challenging economic climate. The recovery of inbound tourism from Asia has been haltered as number of countries in Asian region only raised their COVID-19 travel restrictions at the end of 2022 and international airlines have not been able to fully restore their pre-pandemic flight schedules to meet the demand.
OECD measured consumer confidence index that reached its record low in September 2022 has improved considerably but is still far off from the confidence levels recorded pre COVID-19 pandemic. The consumer confidence level in Estonia remained stable throughout the second quarter of 2023 while the levels in Finland and Sweden show signs of stable upward trend. The war in Ukraine, the tight monetary policy, the high inflation, and the outlook of economic recession continue to be key concerns globally.
The relatively stable consumer confidence was reflected in the sustainable passenger volumes during the quarter. The Group's cargo business was impacted by the availability of vessels and the number of trips made but also the slow economic recovery and the weak demand in construction sectors.
During the second quarter, the global fuel prices decreased about 41% compared to the same period a year ago. In the second quarter of 2023, the Group's overall fuel cost decreased by 48% or EUR 20.6 million compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was driven by significantly lower global fuel prices, but also lower consumption compared to the same period a year ago arising from the number of vessels on charter. At the same time, the Group's fuel transport cost component in fuel price has increased year-on-year due to the increased distance of the fuel sourcing.
For the foreseeable future and according to current best knowledge and estimates, the key risks for the business continue to be related to the fluctuations in fuel prices, the war in Ukraine, rising interest rates and changing customer travel and consumption habits.
The Group's hotels, Tallink City Hotel and Tallink Spa & Conference Hotel, were awarded the international Green Key eco-label. The Green Key is awarded to businesses in the tourism sector who in their activities are dedicated to sustainable operations and environmental responsibility, thus enabling their guests to make a difference to the environment and reduce their carbon footprint.
At the end of June 2023, a new 290m2 Burger King restaurant with 70 seats for customers and a drive-thru functionality opened in Riga. It is the sixth Burger King restaurant in Latvia and the 19th restaurant in the Baltics.
In the beginning of April, the Group subsidiaries, AS Tallink Latvija and Hansalink Ltd, and Canadian entity Bridgemans Floatel LP/Bridgemans Services Group LP, signed a long-term bareboat charter agreement for chartering the cruise ferry Isabelle from 1 July 2023. The multi-year charter agreement was signed with a purchase option.
AS Tallink Grupp and Irish Continental Group plc signed a long-term bareboat charter agreement for the shuttle vessel Star from 5 May 2023. The charter agreement that includes a purchase option was signed for 20 months with the possibility to extend the charter by 2+2 years.
AS Tallink Grupp and Corporate Travel Management (North) Ltd on behalf of The Scottish Government agreed on an extension to the short-term time-charter agreement for the vessel Victoria I until 15 July 2023.
On 24 April 2023, the Group started the collective redundancy process of up to 400 crew members in the Group's Estonian subsidiary Hansaliin OÜ and up to 100 crew members of the Group's Latvian subsidiary Tallink Latvija. The collective redundancy process will be completed in early autumn 2023.
On 20 April 2023, the flag state of the cruise ferry Galaxy was changed from Sweden to Latvia. As a result of the change of the flag state, the new name of the cruise ferry is Galaxy I.
On 14 April 2023, Tallink Hotel Riga re-opened to customers after two and half years of suspended operations caused by travel restrictions in Latvia and in the wider Baltic Sea region due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the aftermath on the entire hospitality sector.
The Group's earnings are not generated evenly throughout the year. The summer period is the high season in the Group's operations. In management's opinion and based on prior experience, most of the Group's earnings are generated during the summer months (June-August). In 2023, seasonal fluctuations in revenue generation are smoothed by Group's earnings from chartering services.
The war in Ukraine has a negative impact on the demand of certain customer groups, mainly customers from the countries directly participating in the conflict and from Asian countries, together with the risk of an increase in some input prices, mainly fuel and raw materials. The exact magnitude and duration of the potential effects from the conflict remain difficult to assess.
Despite the uncertainties in the outlook of the economic environment the management is continuously looking for ways to manage risks for the low season (for example through charters).
The Group does not have any substantial ongoing research and development projects. The Group is continuously seeking opportunities for expanding its operations to improve its results.
The Group is continuously looking for innovative ways to upgrade the ships and passenger area technology to improve its overall performance through modern solutions. The most recent technical projects are focusing on the solutions for reducing the CO2 footprint of the ships.
The Group's business, financial position and operating results could be materially affected by various risks. These risks are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial or unlikely, could also impair the business. The order of presentation of the risk factors below is not intended to be an indication of the probability of their occurrence or of their potential effect on our business.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge, the management report of AS Tallink Grupp for the second quarter and 6 months of 2023 presents a true and fair view of the Group's development, results and financial position and includes an overview of the main risks and uncertainties.
