AS Tallinna Sadam financial results for 2021 Q2

Message

In  the second quarter, the  revenue, adjusted EBITDA and  profit of AS Tallinna
Sadam  (hereafter: "the Group") increased year  on year. Revenue amounted to EUR
24 million  in Q2, increasing by 8% year-on-year.  The adjusted EBITDA of Q2 was
EUR  11 million (+9%) and the profit was EUR 1.7 million instead of the EUR 0.8
million  loss of the comparison  period. In the first  half of the year, revenue
was EUR 49 million (-2%), adjusted EBITDA EUR 24 million (-9%) and profit EUR 9
million (-7%).

The  Group's  results  were  still  strongly  influenced  by cross-border travel
restrictions  between countries put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which
had  a particularly strong  effect on the  performance of the Passenger harbours
segment.  In  the  second  quarter,  we  saw  an  improvement  in  the number of
passengers,  but the decline continued in 6 months, as there were practically no
restrictions  in the  first quarter  of last  year. The  number of port calls by
ferries grew somewhat year on year but, like last year, there were no port calls
by  cruise ships in  the first half  of the year.  Cargo throughput continued to
grow vigorously through growth in dry bulk and ro-ro cargo.

Valdo  Kalm, Chairman of the Management Board of Tallinna Sadam, is pleased that
despite  the difficult circumstances,  the company paid  a dividend according to
the  dividend policy. "We continued with investments  and we are also happy with
the growth of ro-ro and dry bulk volumes to a record level," said Kalm.

The management of Tallinna Sadam will present the financial results of the Group
at  a webinar  on 10 August  at 11:00 Estonian  time (UTC+3),  to attend, please

Revenue
Revenue  for the first six months  of 2021 was EUR 49.2 million, EUR 1.0 million
(-2.1%)  down from  a year  earlier. The  decrease is  attributable to the first
quarter  because there were  no COVID-19-related restrictions  or impacts at the
beginning  of last year. Revenue for the  second quarter grew by EUR 1.9 million
(8.3%).
Revenue  decreased the sharpest in passenger  fees (-53%) and vessel dues (-2%),
revenues from other streams increased, mainly from the sale of electricity (28%)
and cargo charges (7,3%).
The  six-month revenue of  the Passenger harbours  segment decreased by EUR 1.9
million  (-15%) year-on-year, mainly because passenger  fees revenue dropped due
to  a decline in  the number of  passengers (primarily in  the first quarter) in
connection  with COVID-19-related travel restrictions. In  Q2 the revenue of the
Passenger harbours segment increased by EUR 1.1 million year-on-year (+23%).
The  six-month revenue  of the  Cargo harbours  segment grew  by EUR 0.6 million
(+3%)  due to the  combined effect of  various revenue items  but mostly through
growth  in electricity  sales (as  an agent)  and cargo  charge revenue.  The Q2
revenue  of the  Cargo harbours  segment grew  by EUR  0.4 million for  the same
reasons.
The  revenue of the Ferry segment grew by EUR 0.2 million (+1,6%) through slight
growth  in  ferry  service  revenue  as  well  as  lease  revenue  which  in the
comparative  period  was  lowered  by  a  decline in passenger traffic caused by
travel  restrictions.  The  Q2  revenue  of  the  Ferry segment grew by EUR 0.4
million.
The  revenue of the  segment Other decreased  somewhat, mostly because last year
was  a leap  year and  thus there  was an  extra charter  day along with related
revenue in February. There was no significant change in the revenue for Q2.

EBITDA
Adjusted  EBITDA for  the second  quarter increased  by EUR 0.9 million (+8.9%),
mainly due to the Ferry segment (EUR 0.6 million). Adjusted EBITDA for first six
months  declined  by  EUR  2.2 million  (-8.5%)  year on year. In segment terms,
adjusted  EBITDA for Q2 decreased slightly in the Ferry segment and increased in
all  other segments, the most in the Passenger harbours segment. Adjusted EBITDA
margin  declined in 6 months from 52.5% to 49.0%. In Q2 the margin grew slightly
from 45.6% to 45.9%.

Profit
Profit  for the  second quarter  (EUR 1.7 million)  exceeded the  figure for the
comparative period (a loss) by EUR 2.5 million, while profit before tax exceeded
the  figure for the comparative period  by around EUR 0.9 million. Profit before
tax for the first six months decreased by EUR 2.3 million (-16%) year on year to
EUR 11.8 million.

Investments
Investments  of Q2  totalled EUR  4.3 million (Q2  2020: EUR 8.6 million).In the
first six months of 2021, the Group invested EUR 7.9 million, significantly less
than  in the same period last year (EUR 17.4 million). Investments of the period
were  mostly related to the completion of  the construction of a cruise terminal
and a promenade and the construction of a footbridge at Old City Harbour.
