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. In
addition to freight, the Company's ro-pax vessels carry passengers between five
countries and eleven ports. The Company also provides port services in
Helsinki, Turku and Kotka. The Company has subsidiaries in Germany, Belgium,
Great Britain, Sweden, Denmark and Poland. 





GENERAL MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Based on the statistics by the Finnish Transport Agency for January-December,
the Finnish seaborne imports carried in container, lorry and trailer units
decreased by 3 per cent whereas exports increased by 6 per cent (measured in
tons) compared to the same period in 2012. According to the statistics
published by Shippax for January-December, trailer and lorry volumes
transported by sea between Southern Sweden and Germany increased by 4 per cent
compared to 2012. During the same period, private and commercial passenger
traffic between Finland and Sweden decreased by 1 per cent compared to 2012.
Between Finland and Germany the corresponding traffic decreased by 15 per cent
(Finnish Transport Agency). 





FINNLINES TRAFFIC

In the first quarter, the last of six ro-ro newbuildings (MS Finnwave) entered
service. The vessel flies the Finnish flag. 



In order to adapt to the current market situation, Finnlines chartered out MS
Finnarrow to the Grimaldi Group at market price in the second quarter. 



In the third quarter, Finnlines started new services in the Baltic Sea and the
North Sea. The expansion of the liner service network is a result of long-term
contracts made with key customers. 



Due to changes in the market circumstances, Finnlines restructured its vessel
capacity and updated schedules in the service with Aarhus and Rostock during
the last quarter. The newest ro-ro vessels in the Finnlines fleet were
operating two sailings a week in both directions linking Aarhus and Helsinki.
At the same time, when rescheduling this service, a new twice weekly connection
between Aarhus and Rostock was introduced. In addition, Finnlines sold the
vessels MS Translubeca and MS Transeuropa. MS Transeuropa was sold to the
Grimaldi Group at market price of EUR 27 million, which is slightly above the
book value of the vessel. MS Transrussia entered the Helsinki-Rostock route due
to the sale of MS Transeuropa. MS Translubeca was sold to an external party at
market price of EUR 11.6 million, which is also slightly above book value of
the vessel. 



During the fourth quarter, Finnlines operated on average 24 (24 in 2012)
vessels in its own traffic. 



The cargo volumes transported during January - December totalled approximately
632 thousand (628 thousand in 2012) cargo units, 66 thousand (72 thousand) cars
(not including passengers' cars) and 2,248 thousand (2,102 thousand) tons of
freight not possible to measure in units. In addition, some 556 thousand (598
thousand) private and commercial passengers were transported. 



FINANCIAL RESULTS

The lowering of the corporate tax rate from 24.5 per cent to 20 per cent at the
end of the fourth quarter had a EUR 9.4 million non-recurring positive effect
on the result for the reporting period  January-December 2013 and also on the
result for October-December 2013. 



January - December 2013



The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 563.6 (609.3) million, a
decrease of 7.5 per cent compared to the same period in 2012. Shipping and Sea
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 538.6 (574.8) million and
Port Operations EUR 50.1 (58.5) million. The internal revenue between the
segments was EUR 25.1 (24.0) million. 



Result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR
83.7 (89.8) million, a decrease of 6.8 per cent. 



Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 18.1 (23.7) million. The
comparable result before interest and taxes (EBIT) adjusted with non-recurring
items was EUR 16.1* (23.6) million. The result is affected by the seasonality
of the cargo volumes, which are typically on a lower level at the beginning of
the year. The number of passengers is also modest during the winter period
compared to the summer season. Financial income was EUR 0.5 (0.7) million and
financial expenses totalled EUR 25.3 (26.0) million. Result for the reporting
period was EUR 6.0 (-0.1) million and earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.12
(0.00). 



October-December 2013



The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 130.3 (138.4) million, a
decrease of 5.9 per cent compared to the same period in 2012. Shipping and Sea
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 124.8 (130.5) million and
Port Operations EUR 11.6 (13.8) million. The internal revenue between the
segments was EUR 6.1 (5.8) million. 



Result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR
20.2 (11.6) million, an increase of 73.7 per cent. This improvement was
achieved by cutting costs and adjusting the fleet to meet the prevailing market
conditions both through the sale of vessels and efficient route planning. 



Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 5.3 (-5.1) million. Financial
income was EUR 0.2 (0.0) million and financial expenses totalled EUR 6.1 (6.0)
million. Result for the reporting period was EUR 9.9 (-5.3) million and
earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.19 (-0.11). 





STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION, FINANCING AND CASH-FLOW

Interest-bearing debt decreased by EUR 216.4 million and amounted to EUR 673.0
(889.4) million. The equity ratio calculated from the balance sheet improved to
35.7 per cent (29.0) and gearing dropped to 149.1 per cent (204.9). Due to the
expansion of liner service network vessel lease commitments increased by EUR
17.9 million to EUR 24.7 million compared to the end of December 2012. 



At the end of the period, cash and deposits together with unused committed
working capital credits amounted to EUR 65.9 (41.3) million. 



The Board of Directors of Finnlines Plc decided on 7 May 2013, based on the
authorisation granted at the annual general meeting on 16 April 2013, on a
rights issue, in which the Company offered a maximum of 4,682,104 new shares to
be subscribed by the Company's existing shareholders. All offered shares were
subscribed for in the rights issue completed at the end of May. The net
proceeds raised by Finnlines in the rights issue were approximately EUR 28.4
million which were used to strengthen the Company's capital structure. 



In April, Finnlines' port subsidiaries sold four container cranes to a
financing company and rented them back with a five-year financing lease
contract. This arrangement released EUR 15 million working capital to the
Group. 



During the latter half of the year, Finnlines sold two vessels, MS Europalink
and MS Transeuropa, to the Grimaldi Group and MS Translubeca to an external
party for a total amount of EUR 124 million. 



Net cash generated from operating activities after investing activities
improved markedly and was EUR 157.9 (-25.0) million. 





CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Finnlines Group's gross capital expenditure in the reporting period totalled
EUR 10.1 (67.1) million. Total depreciation amounted to EUR 65.6 (66.1)
million. The investments consist of normal replacement costs of fixed assets
and accrued dry-docking cost of ships. The investment programme of six ro-ro
newbuildings was completed in 2012 and there are no decisions on any new vessel
investments. 





PERSONNEL

The Group employed an average of 1,861 (2,023) persons during the period,
consisting 918 (957) employees on shore and 943 (1,066) persons at sea. The
number of the  employees at the end of the year were 1,806 (2,009) in total, of
which 898 (963) on shore and 908 (1,046) at sea. The total number of persons
employed by the Group will decrease to 1,661 persons as a result of the actions
mentioned below. 



In the first quarter, the Finnsteve companies started statutory employee
co-operation negotiations in Helsinki with all personnel groups due to the
loss-making business in the ports. As a result of the negotiations, the number
of the port personnel decreased by 100 in the Finnsteve companies (Finnsteve Oy
Ab, Containersteve Oy Ab, FS-Terminals Oy Ab and FL Port Services Oy Ab) in
2013. 



In the fourth quarter, the Finnsteve companies started new statutory employee
co-operation negotiations in Turku with all personnel groups due to the
loss-making business in the port. As a result of the negotiations, the number
of port personnel decreased by 61 employees. In Helsinki, at FL Port Services
Oy Ab the statutory employee co-operation negotiations ended in the dismissal
of 21 employees and closing down the company. 



The number of the sea personnel decreased due to selling of two vessels and
chartering out of a third one. 



The personnel expenses (including social costs) for the reporting period were
EUR 102.6 (109.0) million. 





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 73.39
per cent  (at 31 December 2013)  of the shares, the Grimaldi Group is the
biggest shareholder in Finnlines Plc. 





THE FINNLINES SHARE

The Company's registered share capital on 31 December 2013 was EUR 103,006,282
divided into 51,503,141 shares. A total of 2.2 (1.4) million shares were traded
on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki during the period. The market capitalisation of the
Company's stock at the end of December was EUR 386.3 (365.2) million. Earnings
per share (EPS) were EUR 0.12 (0.00). Shareholders' equity per share was EUR
8.98 (9.14). At the end of the year, the Grimaldi Group's holding and share of
votes in Finnlines was 73.39 per cent. 





ESSENTIAL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In March 2010, the District Court of Helsinki rendered its judgment in the
action initiated by Mutual Pension Insurance Company Ilmarinen (”Ilmarinen”)
against the Company, which was reversed by the Court of  Appeal of Helsinki in
favour of the Company in November 2011. The Supreme Court granted a leave to
the appeal of Ilmarinen on the decision of the Court of Appeal of Helsinki in
December 2012. The action initiated by Ilmarinen is the appeal against the
decision of Finnlines' Annual General Meeting held on 20 May 2008 concerning
minimum dividend and claimed that the decision be amended in that the minimum
dividend paid should have been 17,181,000.00 euros instead of 180,216.39 euros.
 The process is still ongoing. 



In 2008, the Administrative Court of Helsinki rendered the decisions based on
which it can be argued that the Finnish Act on Fairway Dues in force until 1
January 2006 contained provisions which, according to the EU law, were
discriminatory. The Company has submitted a claim for damages and restitution
against the Finnish State for the years 2001-2004 at the District Court of
Helsinki. The amount of the claim is approximately EUR 8.5 million which has
not been recognised as revenue. The process is ongoing. 





TONNAGE TAXATION

The Finnish Parliament approved the amended Tonnage Tax Act (476/2002), as
amended by the Act 90/2012 which entered into force on 1 March 2012. Finnlines
Plc's board decided in December 2012 to enter into the tonnage taxation regime
as from 1 January 2013. In the tonnage taxation regime, the shipping operations
will be transferred from business taxation to tonnage-based taxation. 



The depreciation difference of EUR 215.1 million recorded in Finnlines Plc's
opening balance as per 1 January 2013 has been divided into two portions: the
depreciation difference of EUR 162.4 million (75.5 per cent) and deferred tax
liability of EUR 52.7 million (24.5 per cent). The depreciation difference of
EUR 162.4 million has been entered in to the retained earnings of Finnlines
Plc's equity. The deferred tax of EUR 52.7 million has been entered in the
deferred tax liability. The recording has no effect on the equity and the
deferred tax liability of the consolidated financial statements of the
Finnlines Group. 



The fixed assets subject to tonnage tax regime must be revalued in the
transition moment 1 January 2013 to their fair values. The fair value of
Finnlines Plc's fixed assets exceeded their net book values by EUR 7.0 million,
and out of this amount the company recorded a deferred tax liability of EUR 1.7
million (24.5 per cent). The fair value of the fixed assets exceeded their
group values by EUR 1.5 million, and the share of deferred tax liability out of
this amount was EUR 0.4 million. 



Under the tonnage tax regime, at the time of transition, from the value of
maximum amount entered as income determined to the fixed assets subject to
tonnage tax regime a maximum reduction of 1/9 can be made from the second year
onwards. The yearly maximum of deductible amount cannot exceed the maximum
value of the granted state subsidy. The deferred tax liability will decline
respectively according to the valid corporate tax rate. 



Finnlines Plc will record the reduction of deferred tax liability as from 1
January 2013, according to the above mentioned Tonnage Tax Act. 





CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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





CHANGE IN THE MANAGEMENT AND IN THE BOARD

During the fourth quarter the position of the President and CEO was taken over
by Mr Emanuele Grimaldi and at the same time he stepped down as the Chairman of
the Board.  The Board of Directors elected Mr Jon-Aksel Torgersen as the new
Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr Emanuele Grimaldi continues as the Board
member. 





OUTLOOK AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Finnlines has continued to re-structure its fleet and organisation to improve
the cost-efficiency of its vessels and overall logistics system. Having sold
its last vessel, Finnlines Deutschland GmbH will end its shipowning operations
and concentrate on providing agency services to the Finnlines Group companies
and Russia liner services with chartered vessels. Finnlines has flagged a large
number of vessels in Finland as the company has entered the Finnish tonnage
taxation regime. 



The Finnlines Group's result before taxes is expected to improve as a
consequence of the measures taken: vessels have been sold to cut overcapacity,
the number of personnel has been reduced, fleet planning has brought cost
savings and the capital structure has been improved due to share issue and
reduction in the net interest bearing debt. 





DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION PROPOSAL

The parent company Finnlines Plc's result for the period ended on 31 December
2013 was EUR 0.04 million negative. The Board of Directors will propose to the
Annual Shareholders' Meeting that no dividend be paid out for 2013 due to fact
that the Group's and  the parent company's result before taxes were
unsatisfactory. 





ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Finnlines Plc's Annual General Meeting will be held from 12.00 on Tuesday, 8
April 2014 at Scandic Marina Congress Center, Katajanokanlaituri 6, Helsinki. 



The annual report for 2013 will be published during the week commencing on 17
March 2014 at the latest and will be available at www.finnlines.com or at
Finnlines' headquarters, Komentosilta 1, 00980 Helsinki. 



The first interim report of 2014, for 1 January-31 March, will be published on
Tuesday, 6 May 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 2012 Financial Statements. 



With effect from 1 January 2013, the Finnlines Group has adopted the revised
IAS 19 Employee benefits standard. The amendment has an impact on the Finnlines
Group's pension liability and equity on the balance sheet. Resulting from the
amendment, the Finnlines Group's consolidated statement of financial position
for 2012 has been updated in compliance with the requirements prescribed in the
revised standard. In consequence of the adoption of the revised IAS 19 Employee
benefits standard, the Group's equity in the 2012 opening balance will decrease
by EUR 1.2 million and in the balance sheet of 31 December 2012 by EUR 0.1
million due to actuarial losses recognised in equity in the consolidated
statement of financial position. 



Otherwise 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 followed 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 financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions 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 2012.

* With effect from 1 January 2013, the Finnlines Group has adopted the revised
IAS 19 Employee benefits standard. The amendment has an impact on the Finnlines
Group's pension liability and equity on the balance sheet. Resulting from the
amendment,  Finnlines  consolidated statement of financial position for 2012
has been updated in compliance with the requirements prescribed in the revised
standard. In consequence of the adoption of the revised IAS 19 Employee
benefits standard, the Group's equity in the 2012 opening balance will decrease
by EUR 1.2 million and in the balance sheet of 31 December 2012 by EUR 0.1
million due to actuarial losses recognised in equity in the consolidated
statement of financial position. 



** The revolving credit facilities, of which the Company can unilaterally
postpone the final due date over one year after the reporting period, are
reclassified from current liabilities to non-current liabilities in accordance
with IFRS.

* Finnlines has sold the vessels MS Translubeca and MS Transeuropa. MS
Transeuropa was sold to the Grimaldi Group at market price, which is slightly
above the book value of the vessel. MS Translubeca was sold to an external
party at market price, which is also slightly above book value of the vessel.
The sales will have a minor positive effect on Finnlines' result in the last
quarter of 2013.
