9.00 AM
VIKING LINE ABP'S YEAR - END REPORT JANUARY - DECEMBER 2013
Consolidated sales of the Viking Line Group during the report period, January 1
- December 31, 2013, increased by 6.4 per cent to 549.4 million euros (EUR
516.1 M during January 1 - December 31, 2012). Other operating revenue amounted
to EUR 23.5 M (0.4). Operating income amounted to EUR 34.7 M (2.4). Net
financial items totalled EUR -7.1 M (-0.8). Consolidated income before taxes
totalled EUR 27.7 M (1.6). Income after taxes amounted to EUR 27.5 M (0.9).
The Board of Directors proposes to the annual shareholders' meeting that a
dividend of EUR 0,50 per share shall be paid.
SALES AND EARNINGS
FULL CALENDER YEAR
Consolidated sales of the Viking Line Group during the report period, January 1
- December 31, 2013, increased by 6.4 per cent to 549.4 million euros (EUR
516.1 M during January 1 - December 31, 2012). Other operating revenue amounted
to EUR 23.5 M (0.4). Operating income amounted to EUR 34.7 M (2.4). Net
financial items totalled EUR -7.1 M (-0.8). Consolidated income before taxes
totalled EUR 27.7 M (1.6). Income after taxes amounted to EUR 27.5 M (0.9).
During the full report period, passenger-related revenue increased by 6.5 per
cent to EUR 508.8 M (477.8), while cargo revenue increased by 6.6 per cent to
EUR 36.5 M (34.3). Net sales revenue increased by 8.8 per cent to EUR 398.8 M
(366.5). The placement into service of the Viking Grace on the Turku
(Finland)-Mariehamn/Långnäs (Åland Islands, Finland)-Stockholm (Sweden) route
was the main reason for the improved passenger-and cargo-related revenue.
Earnings were pulled down by the Gabriella's unforeseen dry-docking and 23-day
service interruption during the late spring of 2013. The Amorella's minor
grounding in December also had an adverse effect on the Group's earnings. The
Group's operating expenses increased by 6.4 per cent to EUR 387.6 M (364.4).
Consolidated income before taxes, excluding a capital gain from the sale of the
Isabella, totalled EUR 4.9 M (1.6).
FOURTH QUARTER
Consolidated sales of the Viking Line Group during the fourth quarter, October
1 - December 31, 2013, increased by 2.4 per cent to EUR 129.7 M compared to the
corresponding quarter of 2012 (EUR 126.6 M during October 1 - December, 2012).
Operating income during the quarter amounted to EUR 2.0 M (-0.7). Income before
taxes during the fourth quarter of 2013 totalled EUR 0.1 M (-0.9).
During the fourth quarter, cargo revenue increased by 10.5 per cent to EUR 9.4
M (8.5), while passenger-related revenue increased by 1.8 per cent to EUR 119.3
M (117.1). Total operating expenses rose by 0.5 per cent to EUR 128.1 M
(127.4).
SERVICES AND MARKET TRENDS
During 2013, the Viking Line Group provided passenger and cargo carrier
services using seven vessels on the northern Baltic Sea. In January 2013, the
Isabella was replaced by the Viking Grace on the
Turku-Mariehamn/Långnäs-Stockholm route. The Isabella was sold in April 2013.
The number of passengers on Viking Line's vessels during the financial year
increased by 183,747 to 6,533,650 (6,349,903). Viking Line's cargo volume was
119,704 cargo units (116,906). Viking Line achieved a cargo market share of
20.9 per cent (20.0).
During the report period, Viking Line strengthened its market share on the
Turku-Mariehamn/Långnäs-Stockholm route by 7.3 percentage points to 57.3 per
cent. Market share increased on the Helsinki (Finland)-Mariehamn-Stockholm
route by 0.4 percentage points to 46.1 per cent. In cruise services between
Stockholm and Mariehamn, market share decreased by 0.5 per cent to 51.3 per
cent. On the Helsinki-Tallinn (Estonia) route, market share decreased by 0.6
percentage points to 23.7 per cent. On the short route over the Sea of Åland,
market share decreased by 3.1 percentage points to 42.0 per cent, primarily due
to a reduced number of departures. The Group thus had a total market share in
its service area of 34.6 per cent (33.9).
INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING
Of the Group's investments during the report period, its investment in the
Viking Grace totalled EUR 164.0 M, while its other investments amounted to EUR
8.4 M. The Group's total investments were thus EUR 172.3 M (49.7). Viking Line
Abp took out a loan of EUR 179.0 M in order to finance the Viking Grace.
The Isabella was sold to Hansalink Limited on April 22, 2013. The sale of the
Isabella was a planned step in the financing of Viking Line's new cruise vessel
Viking Grace. The sale price was about EUR 30 M and represented a capital gain
of EUR 22.8 M.
On December 31, 2013 the Group's non-current interest-bearing liabilities
amounted to EUR 221.2 M (73.1). The equity/assets ratio was 35.6 per cent,
compared to 46.2 per cent a year earlier.
At the end of December 2013, the Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to
EUR 96.1 M (45.3). Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 38.4
M (32.8).
RISK FACTORS
Fluctuations in bunker (vessel fuel) prices have a direct impact on the Group's
earnings. The Group is also exposed to various financial risks, among them
fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Revenue is generated in euros and
Swedish kronor. Most operational influx of cash and cash equivalents consists
of euros. Prices of goods for sale and bunker are affected by foreign
currencies, especially the US dollar. The Group endeavours to maintain good
liquidity in order to be prepared to deal with adverse changes in operational
cash flow.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
In January 2014 the Viking XPRS changed from a Swedish to an Estonian flag and
the Rosella from a Swedish to a Finnish flag.
ORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL
The average number of Group employees was 3,104 (3,014), of whom 1,947 (1,841)
worked for the parent company. Land-based personnel totalled 697 (715) and
shipboard personnel totalled 2,407 (2,299).
OUTLOOK FOR 2014
During the summer 2014 high season - in addition to serving their regular
Helsinki-Stockholm routes - the Mariella and Gabriella will also temporarily
serve the Helsinki-Tallinn route. To offset the extra expenses attributable to
the European Union's new sulphur directive, which enters into force on January
1, 2015, the Group has an ongoing action programme to improve its operational
efficiency. This action programme primarily affects the areas of bunker
consumption, repairs and maintenance, as well as organizational structure. In
January 2014 the Viking XPRS changed from a Swedish to an Estonian flag and the
Rosella from a Swedish to a Finnish flag. The Board of Directors believes that
operating income will improve in 2014 compared to operating income in 2013,
excluding the capital gain from the sale of the Isabella (EUR 11.9 M).
THE BOARD'S PROPOSAL ON DISTRIBUTION OF EARNINGS
According to the balance sheet of Viking Line Abp on December 31, 2013
unrestricted equity totalled EUR 68,750,256.44.
The Board of Directors proposes to the annual shareholders' meeting that:
A dividend of EUR 0,50 per share shall be paid, totalling EUR 5,400,000.00
Remaining unrestricted equity EUR
63,350,256.44
No material changes in the Company's financial position have occurred after the
end of the financial year. In the assessment of the Board of Directors, the
dividend is justifiable in light of the demands with respect to the size of the
equity capital which are imposed by the nature, scope, financing and risks
associated with the business.
