EMANUELE GRIMALDI, PRESIDENT AND CEO, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE REVIEW:

Best January-June result for eight years, the market value of Finnlines has
almost doubled in a year 

“The second quarter result for the period was EUR 14.7 million, which is the
best quarter ever in eight years. The January-June result improved by EUR 25
million compared to 2013 and it is the best January-June result for eight years
as well. The prudent actions taken in turning the Company into such strong
performance have continued i.e. optimization of vessels, routes and trade
flows; reduction of interest bearing debt through improved cash flow
generation; cutting of the overcapacity through the sale of certain vessels,
which enabled the better optimization of existing tonnage; efficient cost
controlling and cost cutting. Finnlines is fighting successfully against the
cycle, but we have to analyse every line, every vessel, every function and
every cost item whether there is room for further lowering of costs and
therefore room for further improvement. It is clear that the Company cannot
afford to have loss-making services, routes nor vessels and therefore will find
solutions for restoring profitability in all operations throughout the Group.
Finnlines is well prepared for the year 2015's sulphur directive with its
capital expenditure programmes which puts our fleet in the Baltic in the most
competitive position. With the joint effort for making the Group even more
profitable through the present market situation, we can calmly state that we
expect the Group's result before taxes to improve compared to previous year.” 







FINNLINES PLC, INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-JUNE 2014 (unaudited)

FINNLINES' BUSINESS

Finnlines is one of the largest North-European liner shipping companies,
providing sea transport services mainly in the Baltic and the North Sea.
Finnlines' passenger-freight vessels offer services from Finland to Germany and
Sweden, from Sweden via the Åland Islands to Finland and Germany and from
Germany to Russia. The Company has subsidiaries in Germany, Belgium, Great
Britain, Sweden, Denmark and Poland which all are also sales offices. In
addition to sea transportation, the Company provides port services in Helsinki
and Turku. 

GROUP STRUCTURE

Finnlines Plc is a Finnish listed company. At the end of the reporting period,
the Group consisted of the parent company and 25 subsidiaries. 

Finnlines is part of the Italian Grimaldi Group, which is a global logistics
group specialising in maritime transport of cars, rolling cargo, containers and
passengers. The Grimaldi Group comprises seven shipping companies, including
Finnlines, Atlantic Container Line (ACL), Malta Motorways of the Sea (MMS) and
Minoan Lines. With a fleet of about 100 vessels, the Group provides maritime
transport services for rolling cargo and containers between North Europe, the
Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, West Africa, North and South America. It also
offers passenger services within the Mediterranean and Baltic Sea. With 77.40
per cent (on 30 June 2014) of the shares, the Grimaldi Group is the biggest
shareholder in Finnlines Plc. 

GENERAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Based on the statistics by the Finnish Transport Agency for January-May, the
Finnish seaborne imports carried in container, lorry and trailer units remained
at the same level as in 2013 whereas exports increased by 5 per cent (measured
in tons) compared to the same period in 2013. According to the statistics
published by Shippax for January-May, trailer and lorry volumes transported by
sea between Southern Sweden and Germany increased by 2 per cent compared to
2013. During the same period private and commercial passenger traffic between
Finland and Sweden decreased by 5 per cent. Between Finland and Germany the
corresponding traffic also decreased by 14 per cent (Finnish Transport Agency). 

FINNLINES' TRAFFIC

During the first two quarters Finnlines operated on average 24 (23) vessels in
its own traffic. 

In June, Finnlines doubled the departures to Långnäs, Åland. This schedule is
planned to last for the summer season. 

The cargo volumes transported during January-June totalled approximately 325
(320 in 2013) thousand cargo units, 39 (30) thousand cars (not including
passengers' cars) and 1,194 (1,070) thousand tons of freight not possible to
measure in units. In addition, some 265 (264) thousand private and commercial
passengers were transported. 



FINANCIAL RESULTS

January-June 2014

The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 270.1 (283.6) million, a
decrease of 4.8 per cent compared to the same period in 2013. Shipping and Sea
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 261.9 (269.6) million and
Port Operations EUR 20.2 (27.1) million. The internal revenue between the
segments was EUR 12.0 (13.1) million. 

Result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR
54.6 (34.9) million, an increase of 56.4 per cent. 

Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 25.3 (1.0) million. The
increased efficiency of the operations in terms of bunker consumption, higher
capacity utilisation of vessels and reduction of costs in many areas has
continued to impact the financial performance of the Group. 

Net financial expenses decreased and were EUR -11.5 (-12.7) million. Financial
income was EUR 0.2 (0.2) million and financial expenses EUR -11.7 (-12.9)
million. The above mentioned increased operational efficiency, decreased net
financial expenses, and moreover, cutting of the vessel overcapacity by selling
three vessels in the end of 2013, which enabled better optimization of the
existing tonnage, altogether contributed to a EUR 25 million increase in the
result for the reporting period. The result for January-June was EUR 15.0
(-10.0) million and earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.29 (-0.21). 



April-June 2014

The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 143.3 (149.7) million, a
decrease of 4.3 per cent compared to the same period in 2013. Shipping and Sea
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 139.1 (143.6) million and
Port Operations EUR 10.1 (12.8) million. The internal revenue between the
segments was EUR -5.9 (6.7) million. Compared to the first quarter the cargo
volumes and the amount of passengers have increased due to the seasonality of
the trade. 

Result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR
34.4 (23.8) million, an increase of 44.6 per cent. 

Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 19.8 (6.9) million.

Net financial expenses were EUR -5.7 (-6.5) million.  Financial income was EUR
0.1 (0.1) million and financial expenses totalled EUR -5.8 (-6.6) million. The
result for April-June was EUR 14.7 (0.9) million which is the best quarter ever
in eight years. Earnings per share (EPS) rose to EUR 0.29 (0.02). 

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION, FINANCING AND CASH-FLOW

Interest-bearing debt decreased by EUR 179.8 million and amounted to EUR 642.5
(822.4) million. The equity ratio calculated from the balance sheet improved to
37.2 (30.8) per cent and gearing dropped to 138.0 (187.9) per cent. Vessel
lease commitments decreased by EUR 3.1 million to EUR 17.7 million compared to
the end of June 2013. 

At the end of the period, cash and deposits together with unused committed
working capital credits amounted to EUR 65.1 (48.3) million. 

Net cash generated from operating activities after investing activities
improved markedly and was EUR 31.0 (10.6) million. 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Finnlines Group's gross capital expenditure in the reporting period totalled
EUR 6.3 (3.7) million including tangible and intangible assets. Total
depreciation amounted to EUR 29.3 (33.8) million. The capital expenditures
consist of normal replacement costs of fixed assets, prepayments of scrubber
and re-blading projects and dry-docking cost of ships. 

Due to the new stringent sulphur oxide emission regulations to be enforced 1
January 2015, Finnlines has ordered exhaust gas cleaning systems for six of its
latest series of ro-ro vessels built 2011-2012 and for four of its ro-ro
vessels built 2000-2002 in the second quarter. These investments are part of
the 2014 capex programmes. The scrubber systems will be installed during the
end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015. By selecting these scrubber systems, the
vessels will be able to operate in compliance with the new environmental
regulations while continuing to operate on heavy fuel oil. At the same time,
Finnlines has ordered an improvement retrofit to the propulsion system to be
installed on four Star-class ro-pax vessels. At the end of June, Finnlines
ordered the same type of improvement retrofit to the propulsion systems of MS
Finnmill and MS Finnpulp. These re-blading projects will be done during the
turn of the year. This new propeller and rudder system improves substantially
the vessels' relative propulsion efficiency and as a result, the vessels
achieve a reduction in fuel consumption. 

PERSONNEL

The Group employed an average of 1,731 (1,894) persons during the period,
consisting of 800 (933) persons on shore and 931 (961) persons at sea. The
average number of shore personnel decreased mostly due to employee reductions
in Port Operations. The number of persons employed at the end of the period
were 1,823 (1,944) in total, of which 789 (956) on shore and 1,034 (988) at
sea. The personnel expenses (including social costs) for the reporting period
were EUR -47.2 (-54.5) million. 

THE FINNLINES SHARE

The Company's registered share capital on 30 June 2014 was EUR 103,006,282
divided into 51,503,141 shares. A total of 3.6 (0.4) million shares were traded
on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki during the period. The market capitalisation of the
Company's stock at the end of June was EUR 527.4 (316.7) million. Earnings per
share (EPS) were EUR 0.29 (-0.21). Shareholders' equity per share was EUR 9.27
(8.67). At the end of the reporting period, the Grimaldi Group's holding and
share of votes in Finnlines was 77.40 per cent. 

RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Finnlines is exposed to business risks that arise from capacity of the fleet
existing in the market, counterparties, prospects for export and import of
goods, and changes in the operating environment. The risk of overcapacity is
reduced when the aging fleet is scrapped, on the one hand, and when more
stringent sulphur directive requirements come into force, on the other.
Finnlines operates mainly in the Emissions Control Areas where the emission
regulations are stricter than globally. The sulphur content limit for heavy
fuel oil will decrease to 0.1 per cent in 2015 in accordance with the MARPOL
Convention. This brings a risk of increased costs in sea transportation. But
considering that Finnlines has one of the youngest and largest fleet in
Northern Europe, and the Company is doing targeted investment on engine systems
and energy efficiency, the Company is in the strong position to greatly
mitigate this risk. The effect of fluctuations in the foreign trade is reduced
by the fact that the Company operates in several geographical areas. This means
that slow growth in one country is compensated by faster recovery in another.
Finnlines continuously monitors the solidity and payment schedules of its
customers and suppliers. Currently, there are no indications of risks related
to counterparties and Finnlines continues to monitor the financial position of
its counterparties. Finnlines holds adequate credit lines to maintain liquidity
in the current business environment. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The 2013 Financial statements, published in 27 February 2014, contain a
description of ongoing legal proceedings. 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Finnlines applies the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed companies.
The Corporate Governance Statement can be reviewed on the corporate website:

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

There are no significant events to report.

OUTLOOK AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

The Finnlines Group's result before taxes is expected to continue to be better
for the remaining part of 2014 than in the corresponding period in previous
year due to several reasons: certain vessels have been sold to cut
overcapacity, the number of personnel has been reduced, changes in fleet/routes
have increased operational efficiency, fuel consumption has been reduced,
overall productivity has been increased, and the interest bearing debt has been
reduced. 



The third interim report of 2014 for the period of 1 January-30 September will
be published on Thursday, 6 November 2014.

REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This interim report included herein is prepared in accordance with IAS 34
(Interim Financial Reporting) standard. The Company has adopted new or revised
IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations from the beginning of the reporting
period corresponding to those described in the 2013 Financial Statements with
effect of 1 January 2014. These new or revised standards have not had an effect
on the reported figures. 

Finnlines Plc entered into the tonnage taxation regime in January 2013. In
tonnage taxation, shipping operations transferred from taxation of business
income to tonnage-based taxation. 

In other respects, the same accounting policies have been applied as in the
previous annual financial statements. 

All figures in the accounts have been rounded and, consequently, the sum of
individual figures may deviate from the presented sum figure. 

The preparation of the interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS
requires management to make estimates and assumptions and use its discretion in
applying the accounting principles that affect the valuation of the reported
assets and liabilities and other information such as contingent liabilities and
the recognition of income and expenses in the income statement. Although the
estimates are based on the management's best knowledge of current events and
actions, actual results may differ from the estimates. The uncertainties
related to the key assumptions were the same as those applied to the
consolidated financial statements at the year-end 31 December 2013.
