Viking Line Abp       FINANCIAL STATEMENT RELEASE          14.2.2019, 9.00 AM VIKING LINE’S YEAR-END REPORT JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018 Consolidated sales of the Viking Line Group during the financial year January 1–December 31, 2018 were 497.8 million euros (EUR 513.6 M for January 1–December 31, 2017). Other operating revenue amounted to EUR 0.3 M (1.7). Operating income totalled EUR 9.3 M (10.0). Net financial items totalled EUR -2.8 M (-3.4). Consolidated income before taxes amounted to EUR 6.5 M (6.6). Income after taxes totalled EUR 5.5 M (5.3). Competition in Viking Line's service area entails continued pressure on prices and volumes, which will have an adverse effect on net sales revenue per passenger. Income during the third quarter will be crucial to the Group’s earnings for the full financial year. The currency trend for the Swedish krona affects the Group’s results. Fixed-price agreements related to a portion of the Group’s bunker consumption for 2019 mitigate the risk of higher bunker costs. The Board of Directors' assessment is that operating income for 2019 will remain on a par with operating income for 2018 or improve. At this stage, however, this forecast is subject to the uncertainty factors mentioned above. SALES AND EARNINGS FULL CALENDAR YEARConsolidated sales of the Viking Line Group during the financial year January 1–December 31, 2018 were 497.8 million euros (EUR 513.6 M for January 1–December 31, 2017). Other operating revenue amounted to EUR 0.3 M (1.7). Operating income totalled EUR 9.3 M (10.0). Net financial items totalled EUR -2.8 M (-3.4). Consolidated income before taxes amounted to EUR 6.5 M (6.6). Income after taxes totalled EUR 5.5 M (5.3). During the report period, passenger-related revenue was EUR 450.3 M (467.5), while cargo revenue amounted to EUR 45.3 M (43.8). Net sales revenue was EUR 362.0 M (372.6). Due to lower operating expenses compared to the previous year, consolidated income for 2018 improved somewhat despite lower sales. Consolidated operating expenses decreased by 2.9 per cent to EUR 329.2 M (339.1). Bunker expenses increased by 8.6 per cent to EUR 50.8 M (46.7). The weak Swedish krona had a negative impact on consolidated income. The placing in service of the vessel Viking FSTR, which operated on the Helsinki–Tallinn route during the period April 10–October 16, 2017, increased consolidated sales and capacity during 2017 but did not contribute materially to income. FOURTH QUARTERDuring the fourth quarter, October 1–December 31, 2018, consolidated sales was EUR 119.8 M (EUR 121.5 M for October 1–December 31, 2017). Fourth quarter operating income amounted to EUR 1.6 M (3.7). SERVICES AND MARKET TRENDS The Viking Line Group provides passenger and cargo carrier services using seven vessels on the northern Baltic Sea. The Group’s vessels served the same routes as in 2017. During the period April 10–October 16, 2017, capacity on the Helsinki–Tallinn route increased with the leased vessel Viking FSTR. Viking FSTR was not in service during 2018. The number of passengers on Viking Line’s vessels during the report period was 6,411,537 (6,881,149). The Group had a total market share in its service area of approximately 32.4 per cent (34.5). Viking Line’s cargo volume was 128,549 cargo units (127,668). Viking Line achieved a cargo market share of approximately 17.8 per cent (18.7). The number of cars transported was 704,799 (762,253). INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING The Group’s investments amounted to EUR 15.9 M (34.7), of which EUR 4.3 M was related to capitalized costs for vessel under construction. The Group’s total investments represent 3.2 per cent of sales (6.8). On December 31, 2018, the Group’s non-current interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 103.5 M (127.0). The equity/assets ratio was 49.4 per cent, compared to 46.2 per cent a year earlier. At the end of December 2018, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 61.8 M (68.0). Unutilized credit lines in the Group totalled EUR 15.1 M on December 31, 2018 (EUR 0.1 M). Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR 33.0 M (31.8). Net cash flow from investing activities was EUR -13.5 M (-30.8) and net cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -25.7 M (-27.9). RISK FACTORS Fluctuations in bunker (vessel fuel) prices have a direct impact on the Group’s earnings. In order to offset the risk of higher bunker prices, the Group has entered into fixed-price agreements related to a portion of its bunker consumption during 2017, 2018 and 2019. 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. Purchase prices of goods for sale and bunker are affected by other 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. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT The Sustainability Report for 2018 is published as part of Viking Line’s Annual Report. Information about Viking Line’s sustainability work is also available on Vikingline.com. ORGANIZATION AND PERSONNEL The average number of Group employees was 2,671 (2,746), of whom 2,005 (2,048) worked for the parent company. Shipboard personnel totalled 2,037 (2,086) and land-based personnel totalled 634 (660). In addition to the Group’s own employees, the Viking XPRS was crewed by an average of 242 (248) people employed by a staffing company. At the end of 2018, the total number of Group employees was 2,874 (2,889), of which 2,299 (2,238) resided in Finland. The number residing in Sweden was 453 (527). There were 111 (116) employees residing in Estonia and 11 (8) in other countries. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT Viking Line applies the Finnish Corporate Governance Code, which was approved by the Securities Market Association. The Code entered into force on January 1, 2016, and is available on the Securities Market Association’s website, Cgfinland.fi. Viking Line complies with the Code in full. The Corporate Governance Statement for 2018 is published as part of Viking Line’s Annual Report. Information about Viking Line’s corporate governance is available on Vikingline.com. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE The Board of Directors of the Company is not aware of any major events after the balance sheet date that might influence the financial statements. OUTLOOK FOR 2019 Competition in Viking Line's service area entails continued pressure on prices and volumes, which will have an adverse effect on net sales revenue per passenger. Income during the third quarter will be crucial to the Group’s earnings for the full financial year. The currency trend for the Swedish krona affects the Group’s results. Fixed-price agreements related to a portion of the Group’s bunker consumption for 2019 mitigate the risk of higher bunker costs. The Board of Directors' assessment is that operating income for 2019 will remain on a par with operating income for 2018 or improve. At this stage, however, this forecast is subject to the uncertainty factors mentioned above. THE BOARD’S PROPOSAL ON DISTRIBUTION OF EARNINGS According to the balance sheet of Viking Line Abp on December 31, 2018, unrestricted equity totalled EUR 76,137,466.51. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that: A dividend of EUR 0.20 per share be paid, totalling       EUR  2,160,000.00Remaining unrestricted equity                                      EUR  73,977,466.51 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.

The Group's Income for January-December 2018 Entire Group: The Group's net sales were MEUR 323.2 (MEUR 185.9), growth of 73.9 per cent. EBITDA was MEUR 28.4 (MEUR 22.4), growth of 26.8 per cent. Operating profit was MEUR 7.2 (MEUR 10.8), decrease of 33.2 per cent. Restaurant business: The net sales of the restaurant business segment were MEUR 209.7 (MEUR 122.2), growth of 71.7 per cent.

Labour hire business: The net sales of the labour hire business segment were MEUR 127.1 (MEUR 75.6), growth of 68.1 per cent. EBITDA was MEUR 8.8 (MEUR 6.6), growth of 32.6 per cent. Operating profit was MEUR 5.0 (MEUR 3.8), growth of 29.6 per cent. Figures in parentheses refer to the period last year, unless otherwise stated. SUMMARY Between January and December, net sales increased by 73.9 per cent and EBITDA by 26.8 per cent, and operating profit decreased by 33.2 per cent from the corresponding period the previous year. In October-December, net sales increased by 80.9 per cent, EBITDA decreased by 6.1 per cent and operating profit decreased by 39,0 per cent from the corresponding period in the previous year. The result of the 2018 financial period was encumbered by exceptionally large non-recurring items due to transactions. The factors affecting the result of the restaurant business in the review period included the integration costs of the Royal Ravintolat purchase, investments in international business as well as the sale, closure and concept reinvention of unprofitable business units. There were a total of approximately MEUR -2.1 of non-recurring items with a negative effect on the result, in addition to which there were approximately MEUR -2.8 of non-recurring items that affected the operating profit. The net sales effect of the discontinued restaurant units in the 2018 financial period was approximately MEUR 12, and negative EBITDA was approximately MEUR 2. The nearly MEUR 3.6 sales profit from the sale of SuperPark shares, which took place in April 2018, had a positive impact on the result of the review period. In the 2018 financial period, the labour hire segment carried out significant corporate acquisitions and investments in order to list Smile Henkilöstöpalvelut Oyj on the Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd Stock Exchange. Costs connected to the cancelled IPO amounted to approximately MEUR 1.75, which included over EUR 800,000 of other operating expenses and over EUR 900,000 of finance costs. Expenses associated with corporate acquisitions that affected the EBITDA amounted to approximately EUR 400,000. In addition to these, the sales prices of corporate acquisitions carried out during the financial period were adjusted in financial income for approximately MEUR 1.2 and in finance costs for approximately EUR 100,000. Especially in the restaurant business, most of the profits are made at the end of the year due to the seasonal nature of the business. PROSPECTS FOR 2019 PROFIT GUIDANCE (AS OF 14 FEBRUARY 2019): NoHo Partners estimates that the Group's net sales and profitability will increase this year. The Group aims to achieve, after eliminations, a total net sales of approximately MEUR 390 and a profit margin of approximately 5.8 per cent (approximately MEUR 22.5) by the end of 2019. The restaurant segment aims to achieve net sales of approximately MEUR 250 and a profit margin of over 6 per cent (over MEUR 15). The labour hire segment aims to achieve net sales of approximately MEUR 150 and a profit margin of approximately 5 per cent (approximately MEUR 7.5). The long-term goal of the Group is to achieve net sales of over MEUR 600 and a profit margin of approximately 7.5 per cent by the end of 2021. The restaurant segment aims to achieve net sales of approximately MEUR 350 and a profit margin of approximately 8 per cent. The labour hire segment aims to achieve net sales of approximately MEUR 300 and a profit margin of approximately 6.5 per cent. The Group will update the estimate for the financial period on an annual basis in conjunction with the publication of the result for the fourth quarter.

CEO AKU VIKSTRÖM 2018 was the beginning of a new era In January-December 2018, the net sales of our Group increased by almost 74 per cent and EBITDA by almost 27 per cent, and the operating profit decreased by over 33 per cent from the previous financial period. The result of the review period was affected by exceptionally large non-recurring items due to significant transactions and operational efficiency measures in Finland and abroad. In many ways, the 2018 financial period was the beginning of a new era for our Group. In April, we expanded our restaurant business to the international market in Denmark and, in June, we became one of the biggest restaurant groups in the Nordic countries by merging with Royal Ravintolat. In November 2018, we announced our new name, NoHo Partners Plc (Nordic Hospitality Partners), our new strategy and our goals. We created a new company and identity that portrays our strengths and future goals better than ever. The 2018 financial period was encumbered by exceptionally large non-recurring items due to the attempted initial public offering of Smile Henkilöstöpalvelut, restructuring of the restaurant portfolio, organisational rearrangement and transactions of international business. With target-oriented changes, there were a total of approximately MEUR -2.1 of non-recurring items affecting EBITDA and with a negative effect on the result of the 2018 financial period, in addition to which there were approximately MEUR -2.8 of non-recurring items that affected the operating profit. The result for the review period was also affected by, for example, Smile's IPO expenses of approximately MEUR 1.75. The sale of SuperPark Oy in the second quarter had a positive impact on the result for the financial period. At the end of 2018, the restaurant business segment was organised according to the four business areas: food restaurants, nightclubs and pubs, fast casual and international restaurants. As expected, the fourth quarter was good in the food restaurants and fast casual segments, thanks to the continued rising trend of eating out. The nightclub and pub business fell slightly short of expectations compared to the corresponding period last year. Its Christmas season was more moderate than the previous year, where the people celebrated 100 years of Finnish independence and used the services of nightclubs and pubs in record-breaking numbers. In our other main market area, in Tampere, the extensive alterations in the city centre due to the tram project also partly reduced the consumption of our restaurant services. Our international restaurant business was encumbered by new transactions, starting costs and investments in organisational reinforcement. We believe that these actions will translate to profitable growth in the first half of 2019. Determined start for new strategy and profit improvement programmes We updated our new strategy of profitable growth in the fourth quarter of the year. Its key aims are profitable growth in Finnish growth centres and large events organically through new establishments and corporate acquisitions as well as digitally, international expansion to the Northern European market as well as profitable growth in labour hire services organically and through corporate acquisitions. Our strategy of profitable growth is supported by the short and long-term profit improvement programmes. The short-term (2018-2019) profit improvement programmes include the integration of Royal Ravintolat, restructuring of the restaurant portfolio and the core business development programme, all of which have started out effectively. The integration of Royal Ravintolat is proceeding according to schedule and is estimated to bring about at least MEUR 6 of synergy benefits for the Group by the end of 2019. The consolidation of management and administration (synergy value MEUR +1) was fully completed in the second half of 2018, as were the centralisation of purchase and procurement as well as negotiation of better purchase contracts (synergy value MEUR +1.5). The new, more flexible staffing structure and operating model will be introduced in the first quarter of 2019, and its results (synergy value MEUR +3.5) will start to show starting from the second quarter. The restructuring and revamping of our restaurant portfolio will enable us to focus on our core business and its profitable growth. In the second half of 2018, we closed 23 unprofitable restaurant units with significantly lower competitiveness due to their location, lease or competitive conditions. The closed units include Bella Roma, Colorado Bar & Grill and Tammergolf restaurant in Tampere, Beefking and Lietsunkulma in Lielahti, Wäinö in Hämeenlinna, Bella Roma in Lappeenranta, Enso in Helsinki, American Diners in Citykäytävä and Easton, Colorado Bar & Grill in Hernesaaren Ranta, Thai Papayas in Herttoniemi and Hernesaaren Ranta, Hieta, Royal Crowne Plaza, Svenska Klubben, Ooh la laa, Hanko Sushi in Ruokolahti, Pepe Lopez and Café Europa in Pori, Hunaja in Lappeenranta, Bar Soolo in Kotka and Sinisoihtu in Rauma. The combined operational net sales effect of all these units for the entire financial period is approximately MEUR 12, and their removal also eliminates approximately MEUR 2 of negative EBITDA. The core business development programme seeks organic growth and allocates resources more strongly into the profitability of core business. The company's extensive brand portfolio and partner model enable the local and profitable reinvention of concepts as well as the creation of new business ideas. Examples include Sikke's (to be opened in place of Sandro in Eira), Hanko Sushi (opened in place of Thai Papaya in Lempäälä), Hanko Sushi (opened in place of Mura Sushi in Ruka), Pizzeria Luca (to be opened in place of Purpur in Tampere) and Taqueria el Rey (to be opened in place of Patrona in Helsinki). The company's commercial organisation has been strengthened, and the sales functions have been concentrated in Helsinki. Smile Henkilöstöpalvelut still growing faster than the rest of the sector 2018 was another time of strong and profitable growth for our labour hire business. In 2014, when Smile Henkilöstöpalvelut joined the company, its net sales were approximately MEUR 6.8, whereas now, in the 2018 financial period, the net sales reached MEUR 127.1. The net sales of Smile Henkilöstöpalvelut increased almost 68 per cent from the previous year, EBITDA by almost 33 per cent and operating profit by almost 30 per cent. When the result is adjusted with costs connected to the IPO, the comparable EBITDA improved by approximately 45 per cent and the operating profit by approximately 51 per cent. In 2018, Smile acquired several companies specialised in labour hire for industry, construction and logistics, such as Kymppi Service Oy, Jobio companies and Adicio Oy, which specialises in the import of foreign construction labour as well as Job Services Two Oy and Job Services Three Oy, which are focused on construction industry labour needs, in particular. In addition to the corporate acquisitions, organic growth, especially in the restaurant and hospitality sector (HoReCa), served as an engine for the strong growth. Although the Smile IPO at the Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd Stock Exchange was cancelled in the fourth quarter, Smile achieved a comparable result and benefited from the process in many ways. The entire organisation was subjected to a critical review, which leaves the company's operations on stronger foundations than ever before. Towards the end of the year, Smile focused on enhancing and harmonising its internal processes. The company invested in brand work and new digital solutions, which are intended in future to make the recruitment process faster for the employees and employers. Smile also launched a direct recruitment service: Smile Rekry finds its clients experts and executives for sales, marketing, ICT and administrative positions. New sectors and services are constantly being mapped. Future growth potential is seen in the logistics sector, in particular. 2019 looks bright for Smile. The labour hire sector is believed to continue its growth, although the availability of labour is slowing the market slightly. The availability issue will be resolved, for example, through the foreign labour import services of Smile Import and active cooperation with educational institutes. The company wants to grow organically and, as in previous years, more quickly than the market. We aim to carry out corporate acquisitions and thus continue to consolidate the market. The company makes a good profit and cash flow, and good options are seen for financing its growth. New strategy and financial goals to guide operations We updated the new long-term financial goals in the fourth quarter of 2018. We aim to achieve net sales of over MEUR 600 and a profit margin of approximately 7.5 per cent by the end of 2021. By the end of the 2019 financial period, we will seek net sales of approximately MEUR 250 and a profit margin of over 6 per cent in the restaurant segment and net sales of approximately MEUR 150 and a profit margin of approximately 5 per cent in the labour hire segment. Relative to the strong cash flow of 2019, our debt ratio is good and our MEUR 139 net liabilities are controlled. At the core of our profitable growth is international expansion - in 2019, we will focus on profitable growth in Denmark and expansion to a new market in Northern Europe in accordance with our strategy. After a year of many changes, we have started the journey towards our new goals. In the long term, the core of profitable growth includes investing in sales and marketing with digital solutions, selected big and profitable new projects as well as garnishing an international growth platform.

MPS utilizes both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to assess what it believes to be its core operating performance and to evaluate and manage its internal business and assist in making financial operating decisions. MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an alternative presentation useful to investors' understanding of MPS' core operating results and trends. Additionally, MPS believes that the inclusion of non-GAAP measures, together with GAAP measures, provides investors with an additional dimension of comparability to similar companies. However, investors should be aware that non-GAAP financial measures utilized by other companies are not likely to be comparable in most cases to the non-GAAP financial measures used by MPS.
