AS Tallinna Sadam (TSM1T) Q2 2026 earnings summary

Executive summary

• Q2 revenue increased by 5.4%, driven by strong offshore ship performance, more cruise ship visits, and higher electricity service sales, with cruise passenger numbers rising nearly 48%.

• Profitability was negatively impacted by higher fuel, electricity, and maintenance costs, severe winter conditions, and the absence of last year's one-off land sale gain.

• Last year's Q2 included a one-time land sale gain (reported as €1 million or €0.9 million), absent this year, affecting year-over-year profit comparison.

• Cargo volumes declined by up to 5.0%, mainly due to a sharp drop in liquid bulk, while ferry and ro-ro segments remained stable or increased.

• Dividends were distributed as promised, and significant progress was made in real estate development with new detailed plans adopted.
