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 ten ports. The Company also provides port services in Helsinki,
Turku and Kotka. The company has subsidiaries or sales offices in Germany,
Belgium, the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg and Poland and a representative
office in Russia. Finnlines is a Finnish listed company and part of the Italian
Grimaldi Group. 





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
decreased by 4% whereas exports increased by 4% (measured in tons) compared to
the same period in 2012. According to the statistics published by Shippax for
January-May, trailer and lorry volumes transported by sea between Southern
Sweden and Germany increased by 1% compared to 2012. During the same period
private and commercial passenger traffic between Finland and Sweden remained on
the same level as in 2012. Between Finland and Germany the corresponding
traffic decreased by 16% (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 has in the second
quarter chartered out MS Finnarrow to the Grimaldi Group at market price. 



During the second quarter Finnlines operated on average 23 vessels in its own
traffic compared to 24 vessels in the same period in 2012. 



The cargo volumes transported during January-June totalled approximately
320,000 (324,000) cargo units, 30,000 (30,000) cars (not including passengers'
cars ) and 1,070,000 (1,073,000) tons of freight not possible to measure in
units. In addition, some 264,000 (291,000) private and commercial passengers
were transported. 





FINANCIAL RESULTS



January - June 2013



The Finnlines Group recorded revenue totalling EUR 283.6 (309.6) million, a
decrease of 8.4% compared to the same period in 2012. Shipping and Sea
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 269.6 (291.1) million and
Port Operations EUR 27.1 (31.0) million. The internal revenue between the
segments was EUR 13.1 (12.6) million. The decrease of the revenue is a result
of declined transport volumes due to the challenging business environment,
especially in the Port Operations segment. 



Result before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was EUR
34.9 (47.3) million, a decrease of 26.3%. 



Result before interest and taxes (EBIT) was EUR 1.0 (14.5) million. The result
for 2013 includes a non-recurring cost item of about EUR 1.0 million related to
general increases of the collective agreement. The result for 2012 includes a
non-recurring compensation of EUR 3.4 million from the Jinling shipyard
relating to the first two newbuildings covering loss for reduced income. The
comparable result before interest and taxes (EBIT) adjusted with above
mentioned items was EUR 2.0 (11.1) million. The result is affected by the
seasonality of the cargo volumes, which are typically on a lower level in the
beginning of the year. Also the number of passengers is modest during the
winter period compared to the summer season. Financial income was EUR 0.2 (0.5)
million and financial expenses totalled EUR -12.9 (-13.7) million. Result
before taxes (EBT) was EUR -11.7 (1.3) million and earnings per share (EPS)
were EUR -0.21 (0.00).

decrease of 9.0% compared to the same period in 2012. Shipping and Sea
Transport Services generated revenue amounting to EUR 143.6 (155.8) million and
Port Operations EUR 12.8 (15.2) million. The internal revenue between the
segments was EUR 6.7 (6.4) million.

23.8 (31.4) million, a decrease of 24.2%.

income was EUR 0.1 (0.4) million and financial expenses totalled EUR -6.6
(-6.7) million. Result before taxes (EBT) was EUR 0.4 (8.4) million and
earnings per share (EPS) were EUR 0.02 (0.12). 





STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION, FINANCING AND CASH-FLOW



Interest-bearing net debt amounted to EUR 840.1 (882.9) million. The equity
ratio calculated from the balance sheet was 30.8% (28.9) and gearing was 187.9%
(206.3). Due to the expansion of liner service network vessel lease commitments

working capital credits amounted to EUR 48.3 (70.9) million. The company has a

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 gross
proceeds raised by Finnlines in the rights issue were approximately EUR 28.8
million. The net proceeds are 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 working capital to the group EUR 15
million. 





CAPITAL EXPENDITURE



Gross capital expenditure in the review period totalled EUR 3.7 (34.9) million.
Total depreciation amounted to EUR 33.8 (32.9) million. The investments are
mainly consisting of normal replacement costs of fixed assets and accrued

PERSONNEL



The Group employed an average of 1,894 (2,002) persons during the period,
consisting of 933 (980) persons on shore and 961 (1,022) persons at sea.
Finnsteve-companies' (Finnsteve Oy Ab, Containersteve Oy Ab and FS-Terminals Oy
Ab) co-operation negotiations, which started in February 2013 and ended in May,
have resulted in the termination of about 100 employments in total. The
negotiations were held with all personnel groups in Helsinki.

to EUR 103,006,282.00. 





RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT



The 2012 Financial statements, published in March 2013, contains a thorough
description of Finnlines' risks and risk management, and there are no essential
changes to that report. 





CHANGES IN ESSENTIAL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



The 2012 Financial statements, published in March 2013, contains a thorough
description of essential legal proceedings and the following is a description
of the changes compared to what was reported in the financial statements: 



A number of former and current employees of the Company, represented by the
Union of Salaried Employees, has brought an action against the Company at the
City Court of Helsinki on adherance to the general increases of the collective
agreement. The Court has in February 2012 rendered the decision in favour of
the employees and ordered the Company to compensate the employees with about
EUR 0.2 million in all. The Company has appealed the decision partly at the
Helsinki Court of Appeal. The Helsinki Court of Appeal rendered its decision in
April in favour of the employees. 





TONNAGE TAXATION



The Finnish Parliament has 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 on 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 1.1.2013 has been divided into two portions: the
depreciation difference of EUR 162.4 million (75.5%) and deferred tax liability
of EUR 52.7 million (24.5%). The depreciation difference of EUR 162.4 million
has been entered in the distributable funds 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 1.1.2013 into 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%). 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. 



According to the tonnage tax regime in the transition moment 1.1.2013 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 done from the second year
onwards. The yearly maximum of deductable amount cannot exceed the maximum
value of 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
1.1.2013 according to the above mentioned tonnage tax act. 





EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD



Mr Tom Pippingsköld, Bachelor of Science, MBA, has been appointed CFO of
Finnlines Plc as from 1 October 2013. Mrs Seija Turunen, current CFO and Deputy
CEO, will retire at the end of July 2013 after which she will continue as
Executive Advisor to the Board of Directors. 



The Board of Finnlines decided in their meeting on the 30th of July 2013 that
Finnlines will sell MS Europalink to the Grimaldi Group at market price, which
is slightly above the book value of the vessel. This deal will be done during
the third quarter of 2013 and it will have a positive effect on Finnlines'
financial position. The vessel has been chartered out since October last year
and has been sailing in Grimaldi traffic in the Mediterranean Sea. The charter
and subsequent sale has been undertaken because the capacity of MS Europalink
is not to be required by Finnlines under the present sailing pattern. 





OUTLOOK AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT



Finnlines has continued the re-structuring of its fleet and organisation in
order to improve cost efficiency of its vessels and its overall logistics
system. With the completed deliveries of the six newbuildings the dependency on
a volatile charter market has been further reduced. The Board expects that the year 2013 will still be volatile and challenging.







The third interim report of 2013 for the period of 1 January - 30 September
will be published on Tuesday, 5 November 2013.

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 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's consolidated statement of financial position for
2012 have 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 was included in tonnage taxation from January 2013. In tonnage
taxation, shipping operations shifted 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 can 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.

amendment, the Finnlines' consolidated statement of financial position for 2012
have 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 move
the final due date over one year after the reporting period, are reclassified
from current liabilities to non-current liabilities in accordance with IFRS.
