AS Tallinna Sadam financial results for 2021 Q2In 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 click here.

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).
