Positive development in the operations of AS Tallink Grupp and its subsidiaries' (The Group) continued in the fourth quarter (01.06.2010- 31.08.2010) of the 2009/2010 financial year. The passenger volume transported by the Group's vessels in the fourth quarter increased by 5% to 2.84 million passengers. Higher passenger number and recovery in the cargo volumes have driven the Group's fourth quarter revenue up by 7% to a record of EUR 272 million (EEK 4 258 million). The cost savings initiatives have helped to convert the increased revenue to earnings at effective ratio. Along with the improved results of the first nine months and a solid fourth quarter operations the Group ended it's 2009/2010 financial year with a revenue of EUR 814 million (EEK 12.7 billion), a growth of 3% and EBITDA of EUR 145 million (EEK 2.3 billion) which was up by 9%. The Group's target for the 2009/2010 financial year was to be profitable. The target was met with total of EUR 22 million (EEK 342 million) in the net profit. The improvement in the Group's results is an effect contributed by several factors. After the extensive investment phase and several new projects in the past years the Group's units have now been able to dedicate more of their resources to the core operations. Focused sales activities and the coordination between the Group's market areas have lead to increased passenger volumes. At the same time the Group was able to improve the revenue per passenger. This was a result of the development in the revenue management by introducing dynamic flexible pricing in the Shuttle product, as well as performing active sales onboard the vessels. The integration on the Group's IT systems has developed well. From one side it has delivered noticeable cost savings but even more importantly will give new opportunities for further maximisation of the Group's revenues through revenue & inventory and customer relation management. In October 2010 the new and improved online booking engine for the customers was launched. The Group continues to put high efforts on the improvement of customer satisfaction and in parallel also to the personnel development through more extensive specialized education and enhanced motivation schemes. Satisfied customers, quality product offering and motivated personnel are the key factors for the Group to improve the operations and results. As a result of the continuous cost controlling the Group was able to keep the EBITDA margin at the stable level despite noticeable increase in fuel price and hence higher fuel cost compared to the Q4 of the previous financial year. In result of the increased cash flow from operations and minimal investments the Group was able to decrease interest bearing liabilities by EUR 53 million (EEK 835 million) in the fourth quarter. For the whole financial year of 2009/2010 the decrease was EUR 113 million (EEK 1 775 million) or nearly 10%. The Group's net debt at the end of the financial year was EUR 1 010 million (EEK 15 809 million). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Q4 KEY FIGURES | Q4 2009/2010 | Q4 2008/2009 | Change % | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | EEK | EUR | EEK | EUR | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net sales (million) | 4 258 | 272.2 | 3 988 | 254.9 | 7% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Gross profit (million) | 1 316 | 84.1 | 1 256 | 80.3 | 5% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Gross margin | 31% | | 31% | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EBITDA (million) | 1 216 | 77.7 | 1 152 | 73.6 | 5% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EBITDA margin | 29% | | 29% | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net profit/-loss (million) | 662 | 42.3 | 496 | 31.7 | 34% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net profit margin | 16% | | 12% | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Depreciation & amort. | 302 | 19.3 | 308 | 19.7 | -2% | | (million) | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Investments (million) | 8 | 0.5 | 28 | 1.8 | -71% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Weighted average number of | 669 882 040 | 669 882 040 | 0% | | ordinary shares outstanding | | | | | during Q4* | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Earnings per share | 0.99 | 0.06 | 0.74 | 0.05 | 34% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Number of passengers | 2 839 850 | 2 701 575 | 5% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Cargo units | 67 297 | 58 634 | 15% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Average number of employees | 6 612 | 6 853 | -4% | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 31.08.2010 | 31.05.2010 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | EEK | EUR | EEK | EUR | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total assets (million) | 29 | 1 871 | 29 475 | 1 884 | -0.7% | | | 280 | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total liabilities (million) | 18 | 1 204 | 19 716 | 1 260 | -4.5% | | | 832 | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Interest-bearing | 16 | 1 068 | 17 544 | 1 121 | -4.8% | | liabilities (million) | 709 | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total equity (million) | 10 | 668 | 9 759 | 624 | 7.1% | | | 448 | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Equity ratio | 36% | | 33% | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Number of ordinary shares | 669 882 040 | 669 882 040 | 0% | | outstanding* | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Shareholders' equity per | 15.6 | 1.0 | 14.6 | 0.94 | 7.1% | | share | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net profit margin - net profit / net sales; EBITDA - Earnings before net financial items, taxes, depreciation and amortization; EBITDA margin - EBITDA / net sales; Gross margin - gross profit / net sales; Net profit margin - net profit / net sales; Equity ratio - total equity / total assets; Earnings per share - net profit / weighted average number of shares outstanding; Shareholder's equity per share - shareholder's equity / number of shares outstanding. * Share numbers exclude own shares. In the end of the fourth quarter and 2009/2010 financial year the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 57 million (EEK 899 million) compared to EUR 50 million (EEK 782 million) a year ago. The higher liquidity position and no capital commitments for the coming periods are strengths for the smooth and stable operations. The Management continues to focus on cost efficiency and on the Group's profitability. The sale or charter of older and non performing vessels has high priority. There are currently several negotiations open to either charter or sell some of the older and non performing vessels. The Management estimates that the macroeconomic recovery continues and no major changes are foreseen in the Group operations in the 2010/2011 financial year. The Group's results are estimated to improve further.
