The company’s profit amounted to EUR 5 million, and EBITDA reached EUR 47 million. The Group’s equity amounted to EUR 1.236 billion, total assets to EUR 2.659 billion and investments to EUR 29 million. Infortar’s borrowings decreased by 7% to EUR 1.032 billion, and net debt decreased by 16% to EUR 800 million. According to Ain Hanschmidt, Chairman of the Management Board of Infortar, the improvement across all of the Group’s key financial indicators has been driven by organic growth in day-to-day business activity and volumes. “Over the past year, we have further reduced our already low debt burden. A strong balance sheet and solid liquidity give us a secure financial position and room to grow even in more challenging conditions,” Hanschmidt noted. “We have built a portfolio that does not rely on any single sector or market. Energy, maritime transport, real estate and agriculture perform differently across economic cycles, and that diversification is what gives the Group stability. In a changing environment, it helps us balance risk and maintain steady cash flows,” Hanschmidt said. “Changes in Tallink Grupp’s management have brought fresh momentum, and we are entering the peak summer season on the Baltic Sea with confidence. In real estate and construction, projects are progressing well: the Rail Baltica project continues to move forward, the Halinga green gas plant in Pärnu County is nearing completion, concrete works are actively underway at the Depo store development in Lasnamäe, Tallinn, the arches of the Sindi–Lodja bridge have been installed in Paikuse, a topping-out ceremony was held at INF Ehitus’s new production facility, and the newly renovated Tallink Express Hotel has reopened,” Hanschmidt added. Major Events Maritime transport In the first quarter 2026, Tallink carried 1 million passengers, representing a 6.8% increase year-on-year. The number of cargo units transported increased by 13.4% to 65,578 while the number of passenger vehicles was up by 1.2% to 137,479. As at the end of the quarter, Tallink operated 11 vessels including 2 shuttle vessels, 6 passenger vessels, 2 vessels that were chartered out and 1 vessel was in lay-up. Energy In the first quarter, natural gas consumption in the Finnish-Baltic region totalled 19.3 TWh, increasing by 28% compared with the previous year (15.0 TWh). Elenger Grupp gas and electricity sales volumes in the first quarter increased by 21% compared to a year earlier, totalling 5.5 TWh (compared to 4.6 TWh in Q1 2025). As a result, Elenger’s gas market share in the Finnish-Baltic market was 18% in Q1 2026, and Estonia accounted for 19% of energy sales. Real estate and infrastructure In the first quarter of 2026, INF Infra, part of the Infortar Group, continued construction of the Rail Baltica main route on the Kangru–Saku section. During the same period, development of a Depo (DIY store) retail building continued on a property adjacent to the Tallink Tennis Centre. Supporting segments Agriculture and biomethane operations are grouped under Infortar Agro. Its subsidiary Halinga operates the Halinga farm and began construction of a biomethane plant in December 2024, which is now in the final stage of development. The integration of another large-scale farm into the Infortar Group is also ongoing. Estonia Farmid operates the Oisu biomethane plant, which became part of the Group in 2026.

The positive impact came from improved sales performance in the maritime transport segment compared to the same period last year and a significantly colder-than-average quarter, while the first quarter of 2025 was warmer than average. EBITDA and segment reporting The EBITDA of the maritime transport segment in the first quarter of 2026 was close to zero, representing an improvement compared to the same period in 2025, when EBITDA was EUR -3.8 million. The EBITDA of the energy segment amounted to EUR 40.175 million in the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 2025: EUR 31.82 million). Profitability in the energy segment was positively influenced by a significantly colder winter than average and stable results of network companies. In the real estate segment, profitability is assessed based on the EBITDA of individual real estate companies. Total real estate EBITDA amounted to EUR 4.196 million in the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 2025: EUR 3.893 million). Net profit Consolidated net profit amounted to EUR 5.318 million in the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 2025: loss EUR -14.561 million). Profitability improved due to reduced losses in the maritime transport segment and improved results in the energy segment. Financing Loan and lease liabilities amounted to EUR 1,031.741 million in the first quarter of the 2026 financial year (EUR 1,071.353 million as at the end of the 2025 financial year).
