Tallinn, 2012-05-11 18:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CORRECTION: Audited Annual
Report of the 2010/2011 Financial Year 



CORRECTION: added Management Board's Declaration to the Financial Statements,
page 82 



Due to the change of the financial year the Group's 2010/2011 financial year
was 16 months (01.09.2010-31.12.2011). The comparative financial year 2009/2010
was 12 months (01.09.2009-31.08.2010). The financial years are therefore not
entirely comparable. 

In the 2010/2011 financial year (01.09.2010-31.12.2011) the Group successfully
followed the set strategy. Customer satisfaction improved in several main
categories. The Group increased its traffic volumes and market shares
throughout the financial year. During the 2010/2011 financial year the volume
of passengers transported by the Group vessels was 11.8 million (8.4 million in
2009/2010). 

The solution for non-profitable Finland-Germany route was found. In August 2011
two Superfast ships from the route were chartered to a third party and the
operations on the route were discontinued. 

From continuing operations the Group's revenue was 1,153.0 million EUR (791.5
million EUR in 2009/2010) gross profit was 251.4 million EUR (180.2 million EUR
in 2009/2010) and net profit was 51.7 million EUR (36.5 million EUR in
2009/2010). 

Including the discontinued operations the total revenue for the 2010/2011
financial year was 1,178.3 million EUR (813.9 million EUR in 2009/2010). Total
gross profit was 238.7 million EUR (168.1 million EUR in 2009/2010) and EBITDA
was 199.1 million EUR (145.1 million EUR in 2009/2010). Due to longer 16-months
financial year the results include twice the autumn low season whereas only one
high season which is visible in the lower gross profit and EBITDA margins than
in the previous financial year. 

The Group's target for the 2010/2011 financial year was to outperform previous
year results. The target was met both in 16-month as well as 12-month
comparison. Net profit for the 2010/2011 financial year was 37.5 million EUR
(21.9 million EUR in 2009/2010). 

The key highlights for the 2010/2011 financial year were the following:

·       Continuous focus on the cost savings

·       Improved revenue management with the continuous enhancement of dynamic
& flexible pricing 

·       Ending the operations on the non performing Finland-Germany route

·       Increased passenger number and market share

·       Increased revenue per passenger

·       Reduction of debt

The Management continues to focus on cost efficiency and on the Group's
profitability. The Management estimates that no major changes are foreseen in
the Group operations in the 2012 financial year whereas the uncertainties in
the overall economic environment and high fuel prices are remaining. The
Group's results are estimated to improve in the 2012 financial year. The
developments such as enhancements in the online booking environment, CRM system
and dynamic pricing are supporting to reach the targets. A positive impact is
expected from the closure of the Finland-Germany route which previous negative
result will change to positive result from chartering of ships.

SALES

The Group's consolidated revenue from continuing operations amounted to 1,153.0
million EUR in the 2010/2011 financial year (1 September 2010 - 31 December
2011).  Restaurant and shop sales on-board and on mainland in the amount of 636
million EUR contribute more than half of the revenue. Ticket sales amounted to
nearly 314 million EUR and sales of cargo transport were 142 million EUR. The
distribution of sales between operational segments has remained about same when
compared to the previous financial year. 

Geographically nearly 41% or 475 million EUR of the revenue from continuing
operations came from the Finland-Sweden route and 32% or 371 million EUR from
the Estonia-Finland route. The faster growth in the latter has had impact to
the geographical sales distribution when compared to the previous financial
year. The revenue on the Sweden-Estonia route was 140 million EUR and on the
Sweden-Latvia route 80 million EUR. In August 2011 the Group ceased operations
on the Finland-Germany route which segment is classified as discontinued
operations in the Group's financial statements. The revenue from the
Finland-Germany route in the 2010/2011 financial year was 25 million EUR and in
the 2009/2010 financial year 22 million EUR. 

EARNINGS

From continuing operations the Group's gross profit was 251.4 million EUR
(180.2 million EUR in 2009/2010) and net profit was 51.7 million EUR (36.5
million EUR in 2009/2010). Including the discontinued operations the total
gross profit for the 2010/2011 financial year was 238.7 million EUR (168.1
million EUR in 2009/2010) and  EBITDA was 199.1 million EUR (145.1 million EUR
in 2009/2010).

2009/2010). Basic and diluted earnings per share were 0.06 EUR (0.03 EUR in
2009/2010) and basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations
were 0.08 EUR (0.05 EUR in 2009/2010). 

Driven by the overall cost inflation in food and retail products in the region
and the Group's higher shops and restaurant sales the cost of goods, the
largest operating cost, amounted to 252.9 million EUR (170.0 million EUR in
2009/2010). However, the Group was able to maintain the profit margin on the
goods. 

Fuel cost in the 2010/2011 financial year was 182.7 million EUR (110.8 million
EUR in 2009/2010). Higher consumption due to the longer financial year but also

in 2011 was approximately 33% higher than in 2010. 

The Group's personnel expenses amounted to 227.6 million EUR (161.2 million EUR
in 2009/2010). The average number of employees for the 2010/2011 financial year
was 6,720 (6,612 in 2009/2010). 

The administrative expenses in 2010/2011 financial year amounted to 55.0
million EUR and marketing expenses to 78.2 million EUR (respectively 40.2 and
51.7 million EUR in 2009/2010). 

The depreciation and amortisation of the Group's assets was 95.3 million EUR
(73.2 million EUR in 2009/2010). There were no changes in the depreciation
policies in the 2010/2011 financial year. There was no impairment loss related
to the Group's tangible assets. 

In the 2010/2011 financial year the Group's net finance cost amounted to 65.0
million EUR (47.4 million EUR in 2009/2010). Interest expense is the largest
component in the financial cost. In 2010/2011 financial year interest expense
was 56.2 million EUR (39.6 million EUR in 2009/2010). In 2010/2011 expenses
from derivatives amounted to 13.2 million EUR (13.1 million EUR in 2009/2010). 

The Group's exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks and
financial risk management activities are described in the notes to the
